Netflix has just added Scream VI, the highest audience-rated horror movie of 2023, to its library.
The film, the sixth installment in the iconic Scream franchise, scored a 90% audience rating, making it the most beloved horror film of the year.
While critics gave Scream VI a solid 77%, audiences praised it for its thrilling storyline, strong performances, and nostalgic nods to the franchise.
The film stars Jenna Ortega, who rose to fame with Wednesday, and Melissa Barrera, whose recent exit from Scream VII sparked widespread support from fans.
Scream VI also brought back fan favorites like Courteney Cox, Skeet Ulrich, and Hayden Panettiere, blending fresh faces with familiar ones.
This mix of new and old, along with its gripping plot, helped it stand out in a year filled with horror releases.
Compared to other top horror films of 2023, Scream VI outperformed critically acclaimed titles like Talk to Me (83% audience score) and The Blackening (85% audience score). Its success highlights the challenge of pleasing both critics and audiences in the horror genre.
With Scream VII on the horizon, fans are curious if it can match the success of Scream VI, especially after the departures of Ortega and Barrera. For now, audiences can relive the thrills of Scream VI on Netflix.
