Movie Review: Scream 7

This is my very honest review of Scream 7. I am going to do the best I can without spoilers because that's a little harder this time around. I honestly thought the reveal was weak, and the notice was dumb (yet again). I thought the kill count was high again, so that's a plus since 6 was famous for that. None of the new characters really stood out for me this time around (yes, even Tatum - although, Isabel was a great addition). There was a cast member that was said to be in Scream 7 that we never saw. My overall rating is 3.5 out of 5.

My Ranking of ALL 6 SCREAM Movies (Updated)!

 ***This post was updated in March of 2023, but it was originally posted a year ago after Scream 5 was released***

I was going to post this a week ago, but I decided to wait until Scream 5 was in theaters for 2 full weekends. I saw a ranking blog online, and didn't agree with the list, so I decided to do one of my own. 

6. Scream 3 - by far the worst movie in the series. I figured out who the killer was about halfway through and the story line itself was pretty weak.

5. Scream 6 - unfortunately the newest release wasn't very good. I liked the new twists at the beginning and the end, but the reveal and reasoning were pretty weak. This movie was trying so hard to copy Scream 2, but failed miserably. I also don't think it had nearly as many kills as usual (can't give further info without a spoiler)

4. Scream 5 - Again, I found out pretty early on who Ghostface was, so kinda ruined it after that. I also don't like that they killed one of the original characters.

3. Scream 4 - This one caught me by surprise. I thought it was surprisingly good for a reboot AND it went back to the root of the Scream movies. I mean, it followed 11 years after Scream 3 but was just as good as the first 2. (Side note: My fave Ghost Face and apparently the most kills of any other movie in the franchise)

2. Scream - the movie that kicked off the series almost 26 years ago. I still love the fact that you never see the ending coming in the series - they keep you guessing until the very end. I love Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy in this movie, and Neve Campbell is a total bad ass

1. Scream 2 - This is still my favorite movie in the series; the only thing I didn't like was that they killed off Randy. The reveal in the original movie was definitely memorable, but I like that they changed it up a little bit this time around. I still love Randy in this movie. I wish this movie hadn't been followed so closely by 3. 

Movie Review: Scream VI

 

I think I said this after the 5th one, but they should've stopped at 4. I didn't think this movie was bad, but it wasn't up to the usual caliber of a Scream movie. I did like that Hayden P came back. There were parts of this movie that didn't make sense even in a fantasy world. I am one of those people that actually like Melissa Barrera as the lead. I also like the twist at the beginning. They tried some new stuff this movie to try to keep things fresh and the franchise relevant, but not sure if they worked. My ending thoughts are you aren't Scream without Neve Campbell or Wes Craven. My final rating: 3 out of 5 stars
