Can someone please give Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) a break?
One of horror’s most legendary Final Girls, Sidney went through hell and back in the first four Scream films, as well as the 2022 relaunch of the franchise. While she seemingly got a reprieve in Scream VI (in reality, Campbell turned down the film due to a pay dispute), Sidney is back for even more suffering in Scream 7. And you know who might be responsible? Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), one half of Scream‘s original baddie pair.
While promotional materials for Scream 7 have yet to actually show what’s happened to Stu in the years since the original Scream, the first trailer did feature a flash of his voice, sending an excited chill up every Scream fan’s spines.
Scream 7‘s latest trailer continues to remain coy on the Stu front, but what it lacks in Stu, it makes up for with plenty of Ghostface. This time around, the masked killer’s plan is to make everyone Sidney loves suffer, including her daughter Tatum (Isabel May). Will this mother-daughter duo make it out of the film without getting slashed to bits?
In addition to Campbell, Lillard, and May, Scream 7 will also see the return of Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, and Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding as twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin.
Scream 7 opens in theaters Feb. 27.
