26 Feb
Summary
- Neve Campbell returns to Scream 7 after a reported $7 million offer.
- Kevin Williamson returns to co-write and direct the latest installment.
- The film navigates behind-the-scenes turmoil and a messy plot.
Scream 7 sees the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, a significant comeback reportedly prompted by a seven million dollar offer. Kevin Williamson, who penned the original film and its sequels, is back at the helm as co-writer and director, marking his return to the franchise's creative core. Courtney Cox also reprises her role, and the film teases cameos from familiar faces, adding to the nostalgia.
The production of Scream 7 has been marked by behind-the-scenes turmoil, including the initial departure of star Melissa Barrera. The narrative focuses on Sidney attempting to build a killer-free life, but her past inevitably catches up. While the film strives to comment on the horror genre, its plot is described as having a messy, somewhat improvised feel by the conclusion.
Despite its challenges, the film features energetic performances, particularly from Courtney Cox and returning twins played by Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy-Brown. The score by original composer Marco Beltrami also enhances the nostalgic feel. However, Williamson struggles to capture the voice of a new generation, with the latest teen recruits appearing bland.
