Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're supposed to hate this because the left is boycotting it for.... reasons that make no real sense, but that's sort of the drill isn't it? If it ain't woke, review bomb it. And, to some extent the hate is a bit justified, it's not much better than Scream 3, but it's not as bad as Scream VI which, let's be honest, was yet another political lecture pretending to be entertainment. And that lack of …

By far the worst in the series and shockingly lazy, though I guess some of the kills were at least okay. But everything else was trash, I get that Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox (both served as executive producers) were there for the paycheck, and that's fine but you can see it on screen. Also, the inclusion of Mindy and Chad was utterly pointless and they looked like they didn't want to be there (wondering if they …

Scream 7 comes out today. As much as I love Scream, I won't be seeing this movie. I urge you all to do the same. Not only is Scream 7 tied to AI, but they fired Melissa Barerra because she called out the genocide in Gaza. Wes Craven would be disappointed at Spyglass' handling of his franchise.

What’s your favorite scary movie? (But also fuck Scream 7 because those producers are anti-Palestine lol.)

I'm a huge horror movie fan, but I won't be seeing Scream 7, even though it's awesome that they got Neve Campbell back (just announced today). They cut out the two lead actresses -- Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera -- because they spoke out against genocide in Gaza. Get them back or get lost.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 237 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 9, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
Scream 7 grossed $122 million in the United States and Canada, and $92 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $214 million. It was the highest-grossing launch ever for a horror movie released in February. On February 5, 2026, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film was on track for a mid-$30 million domestic opening weekend, which would place it second behind Scream VI's $44.4 million domestic opening weekend. By the week of its release, estimates were raised to $40 million. The film made $7.8 million from Thursday night previews, a franchise record, and revising weekend estimates to $59 million. It opened to $63.6 million, topping Scream VI as the largest for the…
