Los Angeles – The latest installment of the iconic horror franchise, Scream 7, is stirring up considerable controversy among critics. Early reviews suggest that this chapter might receive the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score in the entire franchise, with some reviewers harshly labeling it the “worst in the franchise.” The 2026 release has generated intense reactions, as critics openly question the future direction of the beloved horror series.
Scream 7 continues the saga with its signature suspense and chilling moments, but unfortunately, it seems the film has failed to impress many reviewers. According to multiple critical voices, the film’s storyline and execution do not live up to the high standards set by its predecessors. Some critics have even called for the franchise to end, stating that it is time for the series to be ‘killed off’ instead of continuing to produce underwhelming sequels.
Despite this backlash, the film’s fans may still find elements to enjoy, as the familiar characters and horror tropes continue to make appearances. However, the negative reception could impact the film’s reputation and box office performance.
For now, Scream 7 stands at a critical crossroads, facing scrutiny from critics and audiences alike. Whether this marks a temporary dip or a significant turning point for the franchise remains to be seen.
