What’s your favorite scary movie? Well, in another timeline, it might’ve been Scream 7, if different directors were at the helm of the project. That’s not to say that the latest Ghostface killings haven’t met a warm welcome. Regardless of its poor critical reception, the new chapter has earned the franchise’s best debut to date (via Deadline). However, it does make you wonder if it could’ve done any better with Radio Silence, aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, before they parted ways with the movie.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the directing duo hinted at just what kind of plans they had in mind for those who were once again caught up in the carnage and claret-covered horror movie references. "We never read a draft of any version of Scream 7 that we were going to do because we had left to do Abigail before that,” explains Bettinelli-Olpin. ”The thing that we had in our minds for Scream 7 was sort of like, 'How hard can we go with this?' It was the thing that we talked a lot about. For us, it was always this idea of, [if] Scream VI is like a secret feel-good movie, Scream 7's going to fuck you up. That was as much as we ever got to.”
