20 Most Anticipated Horror Movies Of 2025
15. Scream VII
After Melissa Barrera, the lead actress of the previous two movies, was booted from Scream VII, co-star Jenna Ortega bailed shortly after. And when the upcoming sequel lost director Christopher Landon, it looked like the next entry in the meta-slasher franchise was in critical danger.
Fortunately, things are back on track. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, original Scream writer Kevin Williamson will direct, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett - the directors of 2022's Scream and Scream VI - serve as executive producers, meaning the bone-chilling brand should be in safe hands.
Though the plot was meant to be kept under wraps, the cat was recently let out of the bag. In a tweet, CBR writer Daniel Richtman stated Scream VII will have a significant time-jump, so Sidney's kids can play a major role. This plot detail indicates the latest Ghostface will target Sidney's family, and if that's the case, the stakes will be higher than ever.
