Critics Consensus

Less a return to Scream's roots than a disappointing creative regression, this seventh entry draws little blood with its dull knife of a script.

Audience Says

Ghostface remains a reliable thrill, giving fans of the franchise much to relish in Scream 7, even if some plot beats feel comfortably familiar.

OK, it’s a tough call to reinvent yourself afresh after 30 years, but this is a definite case of Could Try Harder. Not a totally horror show – just a bit of a snore.

Scream 7 lacks any semblance of its energy on either the horror or the comedy side of things. It’s not scary, and it’s not that funny. I wish some studio executive had the bravery to kill the franchise. Be sure to shoot it in the head.

If there’s a single witty idea in the entire two-hour slog, I missed it.

Unimaginatively derivative of the 1996 original...

Despite its flaws, Scream 7 remains required viewing for series completists. It’s not the franchise at its sharpest, but nostalgia will carry it a long way.

"A shameless, fan-service-y pivot for the sake of maintaining shareholder value, Scream 7, directed by Kevin Williamson, caps off thirty years of Scream with a whimper–for now."

I didn’t think it could get worse than Scream 3. Scream 7 said “hold my beer.”
