Scream 7 restored so much about the franchise for me after the disappointing Scream VI, with the following redeeming qualities:
- the obvious recentering Sidney Prescott
- actually giving Gale earned character development
- allowing Mindy to be likable and shine
- a heroic main character > a morally grey one
- a great acting performance from the Ghostface actor
- original motive, not repetitive
- powerful emotion and expert dialogue
- subtle, thoughtful homages, not empty Easter eggs
- natural Evans family unit > the forced Core Four
- an epic opening scene that went off without a hitch
- effortless acting from the younger new lead
- cinematography, setting & score felt like SCREAM
- showing new and complicated sides of Sidney and Gale as opposed to writing them one dimensionally
- respecting legacy instead of running away from it
- goes without saying, but victims of GF who actually had names and were part of the main cast, bonus points for the incredible visuals in the death scenes
- a full soundtrack with original songs as opposed to 1 single
I just find Scream 7 to be superior to Scream VI in every way.

THIS moment in The Substance is the most relatable scene of the year for me. It perfectly captures my exact experience of body dysmorphia in a way Iโve never seen in film before.
Countless dates, events, and parties Iโve cancelled on because everything I put on my body and face makes me want to rip my hair and skin off.. Thank you Demi and Coralie ๐ฅน๐
