One of the horror sagas that has experienced a notable revival in recent years is Scream. The franchise created by Wes Craven returned strongly in its fifth and sixth installment, although it has not completely convinced one of the key actors of the original film.
We refer to Matthew Lillardwho played one of the main villains in the first installment of Scream and is also known for his roles as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo and William Afton in Five Nights at Freddy’s
“I don’t think Ghostface needs a shotgun. The movies… everything seems like an attempt to replicate what we achieved in the first film in many ways, like the typical manic monologue at the end,” said Lillard, noting that the saga has become excessively repetitive. . The actor expressed his desire that the next installments innovate both in their narrative and in their plot development.
Although it is true that the character of Ghostface I had never used a shotgun until now, the violence in these latest installments is not too far from what we saw in the original films. Even so, the biggest problem is that the script follows the usual tropes of the franchise without exploring new horizons that could bring freshness and originality to this type of stories. Scream 7 will hit theaters on February 27, 2026.
