Scream 7 was finally here and we get to see it in all its glory. We have waited to see what they are going to do with this one and with the recent boycotts becausse of a boycott campaign protesting the November 2023 firing of actress Melissa Barrera. Spyglass Media Group dropped Barrera from the franchise following her social media posts concerning the Israel-Hamas war, which the studio described as antisemitic also causing Jenna Ortega and the original director Christopher Landon to quit as well.
Their counter was bringing back Neve Campbell and Mathew Lillard along with a new Director who wrote the 1,2,4, and 7 screenplays for it. Despite all the boycotts it is hard to get die hard Ghostface/Scream fans to not go see it because the movie and i quote " The movie is not a reflection of the actions that had happened prior and while we all hate the things that transpired and we love when people stand up for what's right, we still are allowed to enjoy something that we as millennials and some after grew up loving. Its is a part of our life and to be able to see these characters come back, the nostalgia it brought to our hearts , and the sheer love we have for our original soundtrack, ( which we get to hear a few songs that hit home so hard) , and original actors coming back....mostly Mathew Lillard (we all love you Mathew) was to hard to pass up." Now was it worth it?? Well lets talk about it.
This movie was all the above and kept you on a wild ride. Took you back into memory lane bringing in a lot of people that we had previously seen and even some we saw die. For me even though i don't like some of the characters that they brought back it was still fun to see them.
Plot " When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, she must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all. " Now diving deeper into the plot.
The movie was so good and interesting. nostalgic and just great chase scenes, brutal kills and the slash factor was pretty awesome but the reveal was TERRIBLE!! The Ghostfaces were unrelatable, nobodies, that made no FREAKING SENSE!! I was so frustrated seeing who the killers were that it made me almost so done with the movie. However .... the ending with Sid telling Gale that she loves her, trusts her and all that was really sweet and heart touching. You also see that some people survived you didn't expect to. It was a happy ending for everyone while also not being because Tatum is now traumatized just like her mom was...the cycle had restarted.
NOW FOR MY THOUGHTS!!!
Slash Factor : 8/10 some brutal kills and some awesome sound and special fix.
Horror : 8/10 it gave you horror , suspense , thrills and chills,
Reveal : 2/10 worst reveal in the series...at least the others made sense
Plot: 8/10 till the ending 5/10
Overall movie gets a 7/10
This movie was great for your nostalgia, great for the kills, thrills, and suspense. All up until the end of it i was invested. The characters ( except the Ghostfaces ) were all well developed and i liked the mix of older characters and the new characters. I absolutely think the best thing to happen to Scream 5 and 6 was The twins Mindy and Chad and was pleasantly surprised when i saw them come back. It was nice because i adore those and it was a nice way to feel like Randy who was one of my favorites and who is literally me come back too. Gale was there representing herself and Dewy ( rip my handsome sweet cop ) . The Chase scenes were also fast paced and pretty epic. Also something about Sidney being such a bad ass made my heart thump not gunna lie. Goes to show you that you should always be honest with your kids for the most part and if they someday may be chased by a Ghostface teach them how to defend themselves. Is this the last one?
Kevin Williamson indicated that Scream 7 is not the final chapter, suggesting the story could continue beyond this installment. Neve Campbell, who returned to star as Sidney Prescott, has reportedly already pitched ideas for a Scream 8. Despite controversies, Scream 7 performed well at the box office, making a, which makes a, which makes a "Scream 8" a very likely, possibility..
So who knows however in my opinion...please stop...PLEASE STOP!!! The only way i would like to see a new one is if a certain someone ( previous Ghostface ) actually came back and there was a standoff with Gale, Sid, the Ghostface and t ends where it started. That would be watchable. No new people just the people who have been in it previously 1-7. Anyways, i encourage you to go see it if it is a thing you have loved since day one because you will enjoy it more than those who just started watching it when Scream 5 and 6 came out. Old school fans appreciate it and new people don't understand the role it played in our lives growing up so they don't have that time to appreciate it plus they came in on a whole different plot and storyline that i personally didn't like as much. However we will get to rating the Scream Series in another article. Please watch and enjoy and if you don't enjoy it i get it but to each their own.
Happy Slashing my friends!!!
