"Scream 7 reveals itself as a disappointing sequel in a saga that has never failed so evidently, demonstrating a glaring creative exhaustion. It’s an exercise in nostalgia that, by trying to criticize the dependency on the past through AI, ends up becoming a victim of its own lack of vision and originality. When the mask falls and the motives are revealed, what remains is only the image of a franchise that seems to be fighting against its own obsolescence without knowing how to truly reinvent itself. Without its ability to satirize the real world and shock through genuine creativity, this seventh chapter gets lost in its own references, forgetting that for a story to stay alive, it’s not enough to just replicate the echoes of what came before."

By far the worst in the series and shockingly lazy, though I guess some of the kills were at least okay. But everything else was trash, I get that Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox (both served as executive producers) were there for the paycheck, and that's fine but you can see it on screen. Also, the inclusion of Mindy and Chad was utterly pointless and they looked like they didn't want to be there (wondering if they were contractually obligated); they weren't all that great characters to begin with and added absolutely nothing to the movie.

For her part Isabel May was fine as Sidney's daughter and Joel McHale had some okay I guess but, and this goes to the laziness, it was obvious they made basically no changes to the script when Patrick Dempsey (wisely) turned the role down.

But perhaps the most shocking thing is how bad the script was. Sure, Kevin Williamson was never an amazing writer save for the 1996 original Scream, but I thought the dialogue was so bad and the ultimate reveal was so dumb, with one being patently obvious and the other just laughable especially with the reveal of the haphazard motives.

Before this, it was a tie between Scream 3 and Scream 6 of the worst in the series, but this one puts both to shame. No amount of nostalgia could save this. I have absolutely zero desire to see it again and hope they just let the franchise die. **1.75/5**

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're supposed to hate this because the left is boycotting it for.... reasons that make no real sense, but that's sort of the drill isn't it?  If it ain't woke, review bomb it.

And, to some extent the hate is a bit justified, it's not much better than Scream 3, but it's not as bad as Scream VI which, let's be honest, was yet another political lecture pretending to be entertainment.  And that lack of politics in 7, that is probably the cause of the hate and the boycott.

And it being about as good as Scream 3, well, when Scream 3 came out it SUCKED.  But it's 2026, and in 2026 a movie like that is actually pretty pretty good in comparison to the absolute preachy lecturing gutter trash that has been nearly every movie for the past decade in a half.

So what do you get?  A pretty basic by the numbers horror movie with a twist you see coming like most every other pretty basic by the numbers horror movie.  But you just get a horror movie, and it's just made to entertain.  And in the era of politically partisan shreiking in absolutely everything, that is sort of a breath of fresh air.

Too splatter in my opinion. The suspense level is quite good but the ending has been quite disappointing to me.
It could have been much better.
