Summary
WithScream 7still a long way away and no official release date or cast details, fans have a lot of time to think about the movie’s storylines and characters. WithSidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) reprising her final girl rolethat she is beloved for and Kevin Williamson directing, there are enough familiar faces involved that fans feel confident they will get a great story.
However, fans have more than a few thoughts about the plot and tone ofScream 7. Most of all,Screamfans think the horror sequel should take a distinct approach that hasn’t been seen previously. Fans have discussed what will makeScream 7different in many Reddit threads.
Fans Predict How Scream 7 Will Stand Out From Previous Movies
As fanswonder ifScreamwill have more sequelsafter the seventh movie hits theaters, they’re thinking about the plot ofScream 7.Redditor @Movielover718thinksScream 7could be a more mature movie aimed at older audiences. Since the movie will bring Sidney Prescott back, this is definitely possible. The fan wrote:
“I feel like it might be a mixture of Scream 3&4. I just hope most of the movie is not in a house or ends in a house I’m tired of the same thing… the last 2 movies was very much catered to younger generation and this one might be an adult scream movie like Scream 3.”
It’s possibleScream 7won’t have any teenager characters since, of course, Sidney is an adult now and the rest of the cast hasn’t been confirmed. If that is the case, thenScream 7will have a different feel and tone. It’s possibleScream 7will be even gorier than the middle andthe ending ofScream 6, which features Ghostface in NYC with a gun and has many unnerving moments.
While some fans don’t want to seeScream 7focus on Sidney at home with her family, Redditor @crimson_scorpio thinksit would be fun ifScream 7was a home invasion film. This is always an exciting genre and there are many great examples, fromthe 2023 thrillerKnock Knockto earlier releases. While previousScreammovies have had scenes in houses, most famously Stu’s (Matthew Lillard) home in the original 1996 movie, it would feel different to mostly film in one location. The fan wrote:
“I’m hoping it has elements ofHush,Sick, andWhen A Stranger Calls. A home invasion scenario set somewhere secluded, lots of suspense and chase scenes throughout. Small cast and condensed storyline.”
Redditor @SpinachDifferent4077 thinksScream 7should focus on one setting only. It would make sense to set the horror sequel at Sidney’s house since fans already assume the movie will be about the life she has created with her husband and children. There’s always been adebate about how scaryScreamreally is, and this setting could makeScream 7the most terrifying sequel yet. Sidney would have nowhere to run and would have to rely on herself like she never has before, which would also make for a compelling character study. The fan wrote:
“The majority of it takes place in one location (house) during a dinner party. Reminds me a bit ofYou’re Next.”
Redditor @ScorpionTDCthinks it’s possible thatGhostface will live inScream 7and that will lead to a new trilogy.They wrote, I honestly think there’s a decent shot we could get Kevin’s ‘the killer gets away with it’ ending he wanted to do in 4 to launch a new trilogy." Fans wonder if there will bemore sequels followingScream 7, and while there’s no way to tell just yet, it could be fun to see Ghostface survive. This would definitely make the next movie stand out since Sidney/the other main character always win in the end.
What Do Fans Want Scream 7 To Be About?
While fans aren’t certain theywantScream 7to be about Sidney Prescott’s family,Scream 7fans agree on one thing: they want the movie to stand out from the rest. Although audiences still look forward to the next installment even though the six previous films have followed a similar pattern, it’s definitely time for the franchise to branch out more.
A fan shared in aReddit threadthat they wantGhostface to be more unique than usual. They wrote, “A Goofy Ghost Face like Scary Movie who is partnered with an extremely good Ghost Face who delivers good kills. A Ghost Face that never gets revealed to shake things up a little. A Ghost Face all Girl Team because it’ll be a little different.”
Although of course no one can be sure whatScream 7will really be about until they’re sitting in the movie theater, fans won’t be disappointed if they get a story that feels distinct from the rest of the franchise.
