Scream 7 has arrived in theaters and early reviews suggest that the franchise may have lost the sharp edge that once made it a horror classic. While Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott delivering a strong and emotionally grounded performance, the story itself has drawn criticism for feeling overly familiar and lacking fresh ideas.
The film follows Sidney as she tries to live a normal life with her family when a new Ghostface killer emerges. Despite some suspenseful moments and brutal slasher sequences, many critics argue that the plot relies too heavily on nostalgia and fan service. Developments around the killer’s motives and new twists in the story often feel contrived and fail to add meaningful tension or depth.
Rotten Tomatoes currently gives Scream 7 one of the lowest ratings in the franchise’s history. Critics note that while the movie delivers gore and jump scares, it lacks the clever meta commentary and inventive storytelling that defined earlier entries. Fans have been divided as well, with some enjoying the classic horror elements and others frustrated by the thin plot and recycled ideas.
