Tomorrow night, Scream VI will be released on Paramount+ and digitally, so make sure your doors are locked, your phone is on quiet, and you only invite the people you can completely rely on to your house. After grossing more than $167 million around the world at box offices, the sixth episode of the franchise will soon be making its way onto a streaming platform, where horror movie fans will be able to watch it from the convenience of their own homes. The announcement also revealed that the movie would be available digitally on April 25 and in high-class 4K UHD form with a collector’s edition SteelBook on July 11. This date also denotes the film’s removal from release in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats, respectively.
The digital purchase will come with a plethora of supplementary content that will immerse you in the gory world of the decades-long Scream franchise. This item is an absolute necessity for every Scream collector’s collection. In Scream VI, the setting of the action was changed from Woodsboro to New York City, a complete 180-degree turn from what we’ve come to know and love about the Scream universe. Many tense and heart-pounding sequences occur in New York City throughout the movie, including an unforgettable ride on the train and a perilous journey to the neighborhood bodega. The additional features analyze these two moments and others with people closest to the production, providing viewers with an all-access pass to the creative process that went into the film.
There is also a tour down memory lane that recounts unforgettable events from the prior titles and commentary from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett as a way of paying homage to the slasher flicks that came before it. A joke reel is an obvious addition to any list of supplementary features; what else would it be for? This one is jam-packed to the gills with scenes of the cast laughing in the face of certain death.
What’s Scream VI About?
Filmmakers Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are doing their best to up the ante in their most recent story, which is part of their ongoing effort to carry the mantle of the late Wes Craven. After the events of the 2022 film Scream, the “core four” characters, Tara (Jenna Ortega), Sam (Melissa Barerra), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy-Brown), and Chad (Mason Gooding), have relocated to New York City to pursue a life of academic study. There, they have made new friends and seemingly avoided the nightmare that devastated them back home. However, when a new killer (or killers) picks up the Ghostface mask in an obsession as we have never seen before, no one is safe from the chilling blade of the slasher’s knife.
