Summary
At this point, Scream 7 isn’t just another sequel it’s a franchise carrying the weight of nostalgia, controversy, and a fandom that’s deeply passionate and admittedly divided. After all the behind the scenes shakeups, this was a film that had something to prove. And while I genuinely had a good time watching it, I kept waiting for that moment…the one where it truly blew me away. Scream 7 returns to Woodsboro as Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, is once again pulled into the nightmare when a new Ghostface begins targeting people connected to her past. As a die hard fan of this franchise, it pains me to say that for me, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The reveal felt underwhelming, some performances didn’t fully land, and the heavy emphasis on a certain “annoying trend” felt more distracting than innovative. That said, the first two acts were genuinely strong,tense, entertaining, and packed with a few creative kills I have to applaud. But as the film went on, I found myself growing restless. This ended up being my least favorite killer reveal of the franchise, but my hope for Scream is still very much alive. I want it to stop playing it safe. I want it to take risks, shift the formula, and surprise us in ways we haven’t seen before. Because when Scream is bold, it doesn’t just participate in the slasher genre it defines it.
