Jenna Ortega’s latest slasher movie, Scream 6, has been making waves in the horror genre, with a significant number of viewers tuning in to Paramount+ to watch the film. The movie is currently sitting at the #4 spot on the platform, a feat that is impressive considering the strong competition it faces. Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick, which is also available on Paramount+, is currently ranked lower than Scream 6, a testament to the film’s popularity.
Scream 6 follows the survivors of the most recent Ghostface killings in Woodsboro as they try to escape their troubles by leaving the city behind. However, they soon discover that their troubles have a way of following them wherever they go. The film stars a talented ensemble cast, including Melissa Barrera, Courteney Cox, Dermot Mulroney, and Samara Weaving, all of whom deliver strong performances.
The direction of Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin has also been widely praised, with the duo having worked together since their directorial debut in 2012. They have previously directed other successful horror films, including the 2022 legacy sequel Scream, and the upcoming 2024 horror film Abigail, starring Dan Stevens.

The script for Scream 6 was written by James Vanderbilt, who is known for his work on films such as Zodiac, which featured a star-studded cast including Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, and Jake Gyllenhaal. The film’s success is not surprising, given the talented cast and crew behind it.
Scream 6 has received widespread critical acclaim, with a 76% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a 91% rating from general audiences. The film’s success on Paramount+ is a testament to its ability to appeal to a wide range of audiences, from horror fans to those simply looking for a thrilling and suspenseful movie experience.
In addition to Scream 6, other popular horror films on Paramount+ include A Quiet Place: Day One, which premiered on the platform last month and is currently at the top of the streaming charts. Mark Wahlberg stars in several Transformers movies and Shooter, both of which are also among the top 10 on the platform. Scream 6’s success is a welcome development for fans of the horror genre, and it’s clear that the film will continue to be a major force in the streaming world for some time to come.
