Scream 7 has arrived, and with OG Ghostface actor Matthew Lillard in tow. While that should excite even the most fairweather of Scream fans... the hype is always just that, and Stu Macher doesn't exactly return the way we maybe thought he would.
Instead, the film is nearly two hours of references from Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 3, relying on the hope that nostalgia will distract from what is otherwise a pretty convoluted plot (and lackluster Ghostface reveal). Don't get me wrong: Lillard acts his absolute ass off, and looks like he's having way more fun than anyone else in the cast... but if you thought Stu was finally going to get the same cred and appreciation as his bestie Billy Loomis... think again.
