May 28, 2026 at 6:42 PM I watched half of Scream 7 last night but was too tired to finish the other half. Hopefully I’m able to finish the other half tonight. Might need to get some caffeine in me.
May 28, 2026 at 6:59 PM Some cool ideas for setpieces in that movie. My main complaint aside from all the drama surrounding the movie is that the series has gone on for so long that it can't even satirize other movies without seeming hypocritical lol
May 28, 2026 at 7:08 PM Yeah honestly I have no real issues with the movie so far, I just had an exhausting day and no caffeine so I couldn’t force myself to stay awake any longer. I think one of the coolest parts so far is when that girl (I think her name was Hannah) was hung above the stage and Ghostface starts forcefully swinging her and then slicing her with his knife as she swings by. I agree these movies have gone on too long and can’t satirize much anymore, tbh so far Scream 7 doesn’t seem very humorous or satirical at all compared to the past films aside from the beginning
May 28, 2026 at 11:17 PM My brother didn't like it much, I actually really really enjoyed my time with it. A lot of people are going to tap out at the 3rd act for being a bit too weird and I almost did but I sort of let it wash over me and appreciated that a movie with this much traction is that strange near the end. Kinda reminded me of Longlegs in that way which is funny cause Osgood Perkins produced this lol
May 29, 2026 at 1:42 AM Scream 7 is not like the first 4 /5 with the self aware meta stuff. Sure it has several throwbacks and easter eggs but the tone is very serious and far from funny or light like the first few. Happy with that though because like u said its kinda hard to still do that after 7 movies without having a completely different story (like the scary movie series).
May 29, 2026 at 2:02 AM Yeah for sure, could have articulated better but that's what I mean. Its gone on for so long that they can't really conceivably do what the franchise was made for. Kinda became was it was doing a commentary on, its more interesting to observe than anything.
May 29, 2026 at 2:14 AM Honestly to me it's like a series now. You want to catch up on whats happening with 'your' characters. It doesn't even have to be really good to be interested, as long as you're invested in the story and the people (like, Gale and Sid have been around for over 2 decades now) it's interesting to keep watching. These movies will never get better I assume, but imo it's very impressive after 7 movies they are still very cool. They had a few different leads, without ruining the original story (like they did w Halloween Thorn s--- or changing stuff) and they kept all the original stuff intact -except S3 to an extent- And the quality remains solid. No other franchise can say that really
