Scream 7

Movie · 2026

This R-rated slasher follows Sidney Prescott protecting her teenage daughter from a new Ghostface killer, and it earns every bit of that rating with relentless, graphic stabbings, brutal kill sequences, heavy bloodshed, and frequent strong profanity throughout its 114-minute runtime. It is firmly adult horror, not a title for children or younger teens.

Mature teens 16 and older with a high tolerance for graphic slasher horror, and adults who are fans of the franchise.
