American slasher film ‘Scream 6’ is being shown in 16 Sri Lankan cinemas from Friday.

Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, the movie is the sequel to Scream (2022) and the sixth instalment in the Scream film series.

The film stars Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere, and Courteney Cox, all reprising their roles from previous instalments, alongside Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, and Samara Weaving.

Four survivors of the Ghostface murders leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start in New York City. However, they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when a new killer embarks on a bloody rampage.

Scream VI is the third film of the series to be set outside the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, moving the location to New York City, and follows a new Ghostface who targets the surviving members of the “Woodsboro Legacy Attacks.” The film combines the violence of the slasher genre with elements of black comedy and a “whodunit” mystery, and satirises the trends of film franchises and subversion of audience expectations.
