The fact that Scream 7 is getting twice as many bad reviews as the 2022 reboot did can be chalked up to a few factors, I think -- series fatigue probably, plus all of the bullshit that went down with its making definitely -- but I don't think it has as much to do with the movie itself because... babes there's no way this is worse than that 2022 movie was. I actually gave that movie a good review when it came out but subsequent viewings have proven that I was just high on the supply of having Ghostface back because that movie's a pile of shit in retrospect. I suppose that could account for the difference in Rotten Tomatoes percentages! Everybody's willing and happy to give a Scream movie a green tomato now... even when I don't think it's deserving. Cuz as I said yesterday in my brief and vague (i.e. unspoilery) review -- I dug the damn thing. I found it light on its feet and I'm looking forward to re-watching it. I guess we'll see where audiences fall -- it's going to make good money this weekend because franchise horror movies almost always do right out of the gate, but after that it's about word of mouth. I'd be sad if this one was the last one. Not because the franchise shouldn't end on this note, but because I want more still. So we'll see. Anyway here's the ever gorgeous Mason Gooding for Wonderland magazine (via) who basically simply deigned to show up again in Scream 7, smile, and then just melt me to goo in my chair. Hit the jump for the rest of the photos...

I didn’t watch 5 or 6, I just prefer the original cast and didn’t feel the need. But this being sold as a Neve Campbell-driven project after the drama has me intrigued. Do you think it’s worth seeing in that sense and do you need the earlier two to make it worth it?
There are a few scattered references to the events of last two films and a couple of characters (specifically Mason Gooding's and his twin sister) show up, but honestly you'd probably be fine w/o having seen the last two. This one is calling back to the first two films the most.
Enh...
