Scream 7 struggles to find its breath
The seventh installment piles up characters and problems, far from the success of its predecessors.
The video this brief is aboutScream 7, directed by veteran Kevin Williamson, struggles to recapture the tone of the saga. After the success of Scream (2022) and the blockbuster Scream 6 (2023), the machine has jammed: Melissa Barrera was removed following posts supporting the Palestinian people, quickly followed by Jenna Ortega and director Christopher Landon. The film brings back Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, but it gets bogged down in an overabundance of characters, some reduced to mere extras, others consigned to the shelf like relics. According to Écran Large, the franchise has hit rock bottom.
