As soon as the curtains pulled back and the set pieces rolled in, I was amazed by the level of detail that went into the set. The smoky cigarettes that nearly every performer totes around the stage add another layer of sensory detail that brings you physically into the world the show is recreating.

“Scream VI” is a fresh and frightening slasher that justifies its leap in location, serving as a rewarding step forward for the franchise.
