The iconic horror-comedy franchise Scream has taken a turn for the worse with its latest installment, 'Scream 7'. The film, which stars Neve Campbell reprising her role as Sidney Prescott and is directed by series creator Kevin Williamson, has received a barrage of negative reviews. With a current Rotten Tomatoes score of only 42% positive across 50 reviews, it now ranks as the worst-reviewed film in the franchise. The Hollywood Reporter's review was particularly scathing, describing the film as 'shockingly terrible' and criticizing its 'rote quality' and 'overfamiliarity'. Despite the negative reception, the film is expected to open around $60 million globally, indicating that it may still be a commercial success. However, the critical backlash raises questions about the franchise's future and the impact of its controversial decisions. The film's plot centers around a new Ghostface killer who emerges in the quiet town where Sidney has built a new life, threatening her daughter. The reviews are divided, with some praising the film's return to form and others calling it the worst in the franchise. The controversy surrounding the film's reception and the franchise's future direction is sure to spark discussion and debate among fans.
