Scream 7 Review: A Couple Welcome Returns and Good Kills Can’t Save A Doomed Slasher

After Radio Silence Productions took charge of the Scream series, Scream V and VI centered on new characters, particularly Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and her sister Tara (Jenna Ortega). When Barrera voiced support for Palestinians and accused Israel of “genocide and ethnic cleansing” – a claim later confirmed as genocide by the UN in Gaza – Spyglass Media abruptly fired her from the next film, labeling her advocacy as antisemitic.

Every ‘Scream,’ Ranked From Worst to Best

As a horror fan, I have to say that since 1996, the Scream franchise has completely ruled the slasher world. Created by Kevin Williamson and brilliantly directed by the late Wes Craven, the original Scream really breathed new life into a genre that had become stale.

The first five episodes of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 have been relatively smooth sailing for Frieren, Fern, and Stark. But things are about to get much more challenging with the start of the “Divine Revolte Arc,” named after a powerful demon. This arc is known for its incredible battles in the original manga, and fans can expect the action to ramp up significantly in Episode 6 of Season 2 (Episode 34 overall), titled “A Demon-Slaying Request.”

Scream 7 Review: Cringeworthy Nostalgia Play Just Killed the Franchise

The 2022 Scream movie successfully mixed familiar faces with new ones, cleverly acknowledging its history while still feeling fresh and original. The film benefited from strong performances by rising stars like Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, and Mikey Madison.
