“Scream 7” looks to distance itself from the previous 2 films, while also bringing back Sydney Prescott and family for a story rife with gratuitous nostalgia bait, and not enough substance. Now Ghostface has returned in the form of an old friend, but all is not what it seems in the world of deepfakes and artificial intelligence.
Now, Ghostface wants Sydney to suffer, but he will use her family to ensure her demise. But honestly… why? Why do we care this time about another Ghostface going after Sydney when clearly the story is meant to circumvent a bad firing?
Admittedly, there are some good kills in this chapter. I like the return of some of the characters, but ultimately, I do not see myself going back to this.

What happens after you are in the biggest band in the world? Where do you pick up in life after closing another one? Those are the questions in Paul McCartney’s head in “Man on the Run”, exploring the days after the Beatles broke up, and one artist’s exploration of self, his value, and his voice.
