It's all played for maximum melodrama, and the fight scenes are mediocre, without any forward momentum.

I cannot quite square how much fun this movie is while being so disturbing. The depravity of Sir Jimmy and his cult will linger, but boy, is this just an absolute blast.

Scream 7

Scream 7 lacks any semblance of its energy on either the horror or the comedy side of things. It’s not scary, and it’s not that funny. I wish some studio executive had the bravery to kill the franchise. Be sure to shoot it in the head.

It does more than scratch the surface of horror, and some of the lesser-known movies it references will help grow the watchlists of the creepy cognoscenti who are looking for some deeper cuts.
