‘Scream 7’ review: The horror franchise’s worst movie in 30 years

In the middle of the stupefyingly bad seventh “Scream” movie, Sidney Prescott asks her daughter’s boyfriend, “Do you know anything about AI?”

Oh, I screamed all right.Noooo! Anything but another slapdash horror film with a lazy plot that hinges on artificial intelligence!

But that’s all “Scream 7” is — the same old regurgitated slasher mush Hamburger Helper’d with a dash of AI. It’s a near-lethal dose of nostalgia to anesthetize sad, sad millennials.

The acting, even by the standards of the formulaic “killer on the loose” genre, is anemic. Neve Campbell again coasts on the fumes of dwindling affection as Sid. And Isabel May, as Sidney’s personality-free kid Tatum, is a Jennifer Lawrence without the spark. Call her OK-Law.

Both appear to have prepared for gory stabbing scenes and intense peril by taking a bubble bath and sipping chamomile tea. Even the basic jump-scares don’t work. There are more frightening Enya songs.

And at the end when we find out who Ghostface is — an increasingly random reveal I stopped caring about 20 years ago — the expressed motive is so garbled and nonsensical that the villain actually loses their train of thought mid-speech.
