Melissa Barreraisn’t feeling the “Empire State of Mind” with her latest film.
TheScreamstar, 32, teased that the upcoming sixth installment in the slasher movie franchise, which is set in New York City, will be “20 times more mortifying” as she spoke toCollider.
“It’s awful. Because you also see how, in a city like New York City, everyone is kind of doing their own thing and someone is screaming for help, and no one will come to their help,” she explained. “No one comes to help them, you know, like, everyone’s kind of like, ‘I’m not getting into that.’ "
