Scream VI (Paramount+)
Ghostface takes the terror from Woodsboro to the big city. The survivors try to start fresh in New York, but the masked killer returns, more brutal and relentless than ever. Available on Paramount+, Scream VI reinvents the franchise with urban tension while maintaining the classic meta-commentary fans love.

Silence remains the only way to survive. On Paramount+, the Abbott family must leave their home and face the terrors of the outside world, discovering that the creatures who hunt by sound aren’t the only threat. It’s a masterclass in suspense and tension that will have you holding your breath from start to finish.
The Blackening (Netflix)
What if all the characters in a horror movie were Black? This sharp and hilarious satire, available on Netflix, plays with every genre stereotype.
