Scream 7 | Official Trailer (2026)

Ehhh, the only plot twist I wanna see is that Syndey has killed her daughter and is Ghostface, stalking all her friends in a psychotic break.
I'll also accept a version where, Clue-style, EVERYONE around her is just offing each other while sequentially dressing up as Ghostface, so in the end they "10 little indians" themselves.
Ghostface, as some mortal regular human looney who has of course somehow infiltrated the targeted friend group, is just silly in a film where everyone is, or at least should be, packing heat. The multiple killer trick worked for the first one to explain some of this, but now it's just ridiculous that folks are not doing a mag dump on him right away.

With Freddy taking a backseat and scream carrying the horror torch.

I didn't know they made any Scream movies past 3. But honestly, this doesn't look bad at all.
I've been wanting a horror movie where they use modern technology and tools to fight against the killer, and I dig the idea that they're to use live security cameras.

dude... watch Scream 4. it's the best one after the original. Wes Craven's last movie before he died as well.
5 and 6 are ok... better than 3 (which isn't hard tbh), but 4 was the perfect soft reboot

This is why I haven't yet watched the trailer.

There are way too many Scream movies considering they're about non-supernatural killers stalking the same person, it just doesn't make any sense that Ghostface would have so many copycats.
Not to mention they've come up with some really dumb shit in the recent movies, like using a gun instead of a knife.

Stab exists. in the Scream universe there are 8 Stab movies, 3 of which are based on real events.
so I don't think it's unreasonable to assume in such a world there would be lots of people who would use the first 3 as an inspiration.
like, whenever there's a school shooting, the amount of school shootings soon after spikes, because people feel emboldened and copy.
and Scream 5 is quite literally a bunch of hardcore Stab fans wanting to make their own movie lol
while the first 4 are all directly related to Sidney, so people imitating Ghostface in those just kinda makes sense imo. it's not like those killers are completely random people targeting a random person.
and it definitely makes more sense than the entire town in Halloween Kills going completely berserk because of 1 dude who, to their knowledge, killed 3 people almost 40 years ago... Michael Myers wouldn't even show up as a blip in the violent crime stats in the US, but he's built up as being the ultimate evil by essentially the entire town in that film
.so Horror films and logic rarely get along lol

I sorta agree, my main problem with the franchise is that they sorta killed off the slasher genre but haven't moved on to more 'modern' horror film tropes to invert. Not really sure how they do hauntings, ghosts, demonic clowns, etc, but I'd like to see them try.
And a MEGAN/Scream crossover DEFINITELY needs to happen!

Neve Campbell is 52, Courtney Cox 61, and David Arquette 54.
In the first movie, Cox was the oldest one at 31. The rest of the cast were in their 20s.

Sounds like Matthew Lillard's voice in the last few seconds.

I love Scream. Obviously the originals are the best, but none are so bad that I couldn't at least enjoy them and rewatch them.
Looking forward to it.

Scream 7 has set two records this weekend: biggest opening weekend for the series but also lowest critical reception (34% RT)
variety.com
Turns out that Scream fans want Neve Campbell, not Melissa Barrera or Jenna Ortega. Another failed boycott in the books.
I watched it and it was better than the last two but still weaker than Wes Craven's installments. No one's gonna top his work, it seems. Some neat kills, though. The beer tap kill is immediately going into the Horror Hall of Fame lol

I'm super bummed at the bad reviews for this. I've been looking forward to it since the trailer came out, but I've heard almost nothing but bad things.
I'll probably watch it on stream next Halloween, I guess.

I need this franchise to make it to Scream X so that they can come up with a plot for a killer to sneak onto a space station with a Ghostface outfit.

I saw it at the cinema. Kevin William tried his best as a director, and did OK. But man, he lacks the physiological 'mind game' directors style of Wes Craven. I liked the movie well enough. But it was borderline predictable (I did call at least one of the killers...) but there was still some misdirection going on with the plot. I am still unsure of the final 'who dun it?' killer motives at the end. I feel like the movie was going to do something complexly different with the killer, but things changed during the filming process. I don't want to go into any spoilers here.
Also, I will say this, I honestly liked the soundtrack, as it was nice to hear Marco Beltrami come back to the franchise that practically made him a famous composer to begin with.
My favorite movies in the franchise are still Scream 1, and 2 (in that order), Scream 3 was sadly a bit of a mess as there were a lot of we-writes while filming. I honestly enjoyed Scream 4 far more than three, but I haven't honestly seen that movie in over a decade. I think this is overall better than Scream 3 in many ways. This one honestly feels more like a direct sequel to Scream 4 and somewhat side skirts around Scream 5 and Scream 6, outside of two returning characters from 5 and 6.
The dialogue does feel like classic Scream in so many ways, as it was written mostly by Kevin Williamson,You can really hear the dialogue beats. Kinda neat to see Neve Cambel back. She was great as Sydney. There are also some interesting cast cameos. Yes Matthew Lilard is back... which is not a spoiler. His performance as Stu is great. I also don't want to get in any spoilers on his involvement with the plot.
