Scream 7's new director Christopher Landon sets up the slasher sequel to revive a feature of Wes Craven's movies missing from the reboot sequels.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The announcement of Scream 7’s new director suggests that the upcoming installment in the satirical slasher franchise will bring back a classic part of Wes Craven’s original movies. Scream 7’s new director is Christopher Landon, who is best known for helming the horror-comedy films Happy Death Day and Freaky.
Creator Wes Craven directed the first four Scream movies between 1996 and 2011, with the franchise’s reboot in 2022 occurring after his death in 2015. While many of Craven’s meta slasher elements, satirical culture critiques, franchise calling cards, and themes remained in the reboot, Scream and its sequel notably departed from the tone of the previous installments.
Scream 7's New Director Sets Up More Goofy Humor From The Wes Craven Era Though Scream 7’s new director is a big risk after the remarkable success of the last two installments, this change may end up reviving some elements closer to Wes Craven’s original vision. Christopher Landon and the Radio Silence team may both be known for their horror comedy contributions, but their humor is quite different.
While the goofy humor of Landon’s most popular horror movies differs from Radio Silence films, it actually bodes well for embodying the comedy of Wes Craven’s Scream movies. The first few Scream entries had some ridiculous comedic elements that were toned down in the reboots. Scream 2 was notorious for being silly and outrageous in its humor, but Craven always knew how to strike the right tonal balance by taking Sydney’s trauma seriously.
Scream 7 Can Perfectly Balance The Best Elements Of The Originals & Reboots If the Scream reboot movies outdo Craven’s originals on any front, it’s with the brutality and gore. Scream 6 featured some of the bloodiest, most disgusting kills in the entire franchise, with this dark focus actually being a great source of praise for Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin’s movies.
