Scream 6 put a new spin on the franchise, as there were not one but several Scream 6 killers, the most of any Scream film, and not all of them were working together. The film has a total of five killers, including two that were introduced in Scream 6's inventive opening scene.
Typically, there is more than one killer doing the dirty work. In Scream 6, there are not two killers, but three who are running around New York stabbing people. Ethan becomes a suspect, and it's easy to see why. One of the biggest clues to him being the killer is his absence during Ghostface's apartment break-in.
Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
Consumed by his grief and convinced Kirby is lying, Detective Bailey shoots the FBI agent. That's all a ruse, as Bailey is the mastermind behind the latest Ghostface attacks. And for the first time in the franchise, there are three killers around. Bailey, Ethan, and Quinn—who is alive after all.
Anika's ladder death in Scream 6 will be remembered as one of the most memorable deaths in the franchise due to its graphic violence and emotional impact, as she was killed by her supposed friend. The three Ghostface killers in Scream 6 went to great lengths to hide their true identities, even faking Quinn's death.
Scream 6 introduced five killers, the most in any Scream film, who were not working together. Their identities were revealed early on, breaking convention. Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry were revealed as the killers at the end of Scream 6. Their motive was revenge for Detective Bailey's son's death.
Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
The shocking reveal at the end of Scream shows that the killers are Tara's best friend Amber and Sam's boyfriend, Richie. They were both motivated to kill to continue the Stab franchise (the horror franchise within Scream replicating the film).
Fans of the slasher franchise Scream will be excited to know that post the success of Scream VI in 2023, the series will return with Scream 7 soon. The release date for Scream 7 will be sometime at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. Scenes of violence include frenzied stabbings with elements of sadism and brutality, often resulting in bloody detail.
Very uncomfortable to watch. Many scenes of people being stabbed frantically and repeatedly and finally slashed across the chest or neck leaving a lot of blood on the body and the surrounding area, a few gunshots leaving some bloody wounds, a few scenes from slasher movies, news reports of murder and carnage.
"We digitally removed some of the stabbing," added Vanderbilt. "But the guys always overshoot the violence to be able to, to pull it back or dial it up and add it, which I think is super smart."
The three Ghostface killers in Scream 6 went to great lengths to hide their true identities, even faking Quinn's death. Anika became a victim during an attack where Ethan was revealed as the killer.
With the assistance of Kirby, Sam and her friends eventually discover that there are three killers this time. The masterminds this time are NYPD Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney), Sam's roommate Quinn Bailey (Liana Liberato), and shy college student Ethan Landry (Jack Champion).
Casey Becker is killed by Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Billy caught Casey outside, strangled and stabbed her multiple times. Stu, along with Billy, gutted Casey off-screen and hung her from a tree.
The deranged villainess stated to Liv that she had always known she was a sociopath, claiming that it explained her love of horror movies. Not satisfied with watching slashers kill, Beth decided that she wanted to become one herself, knowing full well that she had the ability to become "a better monster" (in her mind).
Jenna Ortega will no longer be in Scream VII. Several outlets reported that the actress will be stepping away from the Scream franchise due to alleged scheduling conflicts with the second season of Wednesday.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
While this slasher sequel is bogged down by complicated lore and is far more brutal than it is actually scary, the strong characters and an effective mystery come together to make it a cut above. Fans of the franchise will likely want to rewatch the previous five movies before tackling.
Unfortunately for Scream franchise fans that may want to see Stu Macher make a comeback, Scream 6 has fairly definitively laid the theories to rest by confirming his death. There is a lingering shot in the film that shows Stu Macher's photo and confirms that he died in 1996.
