Melissa Barrera’s 78% Rotten Tomatoes Horror Flick Is Scaring Its Way Up Max’s Top 10 – No, It Isn’t ‘Scream’

After coming to know and love Melissa Barrera through her roles in 2022’s Scream and its 2023 follow-up, Scream VI, letting go of her was tough. Spyglass Media unceremoniously let the In the Heights star go ahead of production on the upcoming seventh installment of the slasher film series following a set of pro-Palestinian social media posts she made back in the fall of 2023. Since then, audiences have needed to get their Barrera fix elsewhere through titles like Universal Pictures’ Abigail, which saw her reunite with Scream and Scream VI helmers, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The vampire creature-feature took a bite out of the box office last spring and was followed by the arrival of yet another horror project for Barrera when Your Monster jump-scared its way into U.S. cinemas in late October. Now, audiences can welcome the coming-of-rage story out of their closets and into their hearts, asYour Monster is available for streaming on Max and is doing quite well, currently seated in fifth place on the platform’s Top 10 chart.
