She’s apparently banished from Barbie Land and forced to enter our world. The plot synopsis so far has only been reduced to a single, playfully vague sentence – Barbie lives in Barbie Land, and then a story happens. Greta Gerwig, the famed mumblecore actress and feminist filmmaker behind Lady Bird and Little Women, has made a movie about the Mattel Barbie doll, a symbol of almost everything which feminism pushes back against. It’s not even hyperbole to already call Barbie one of the weirdest projects of 2023. Unfortunately, Neve Campbell won’t be joining this time around, nor will another certain fan-favorite character it remains to be seen how much this will impact the film’s reception, but the writers and directors of this franchise have always been intelligent enough to adapt. The Scream films have always been self-aware in a meta sense, so the plot of this one, will likely satirize other movie sequels where characters inexplicably go to New York, like Friday the 13th and Home Alone.

Ghostface is heading to New York after Scream’s surviving characters Sam and Tara (Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega) move there. It’s an interesting rebirth of a franchise that seemed to have lost its way in the third and fourth films, but this sixth project seems to be one of the riskiest. Scream VI follows the surprising success of the fifth Scream movie, which seemed to get the most praise and audience adoration since the first or maybe second film.
