The killers are Jessica Bowden (Anna Camp), Marco Davis (Ethan Embry) and Karl (Kraig Dane). Jessica is an obsessive fan of Sidney’s who was inspired by Sidney’s self-help book to kill her abusive husband. She then moved herself and her son to Sidney’s town and befriended Sidney and her family. She felt betrayed when Sidney decided not to get involved in the events of Scream 6 and felt Sidney lost her final girl edge, so she decided to torment Sidney by making her believe Stu Macher was alive and hunting her. Her ultimate goal is killing Sidney and grooming Sidney’s daughter Tatum to become the new final girl, with Jessica as her surrogate mother.Marco is an obsessive fan of Stu’s whose career as a programmer was ruined by his obsession with the Ghostface murders. He was working as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital when Jessica recruited him to create AI deepfakes of Stu and others like Dewey and Roman Bridger as part of her plan to torment Sidney. Karl is a mental patient at the hospital also obsessed with Stu, whom Jessica and Marco groom to do their dirty work until Gale fatally runs him over by accident halfway through the movie, forcing Jessica and Marco to get their hands dirty.Sidney, Tatum, Gale, Sidney’s husband Mark and the twins Chad and Mindy all survive.
>>218195219Sounds dumb if true.
Will be interesting to see the reaction to StuAI. Was hoping Mindy would die but even if she did you know they would bring her back as MindAI.
>>218195219>The forced diversity nigger twins survive for the third film in a rowOh, for fuck's sake.
>>218195219Scream 7 but it's set in the UK and the ghost faced killer can't buy a knife so he has to run his victims over in a truck.
>>218195574Scream 7 but it's in the UK. The killer is attempting to get into his truck when he's raped by a group of Pakis.
easily the worst in the franchise
>>218195219They just can't do anything right with this franchise. The fucking "muh meta movie shit" has been a total ball and chain for it. Scream worked because it mixed the 90's high school comedy with a slasher, not because they talked about horror movies in it. You can still have that element but every movie except maybe 2? has twisted itself into stupid to make the killers motive be somehow movie obsession related. It's just so fucking stupid. Give it to Matt Johnson or something
>>218195219You know I bet they considered actually reviving Stu at first, and then thought an AI slop twist would be more subversive, theorists are gonna shit themselves in rage if this is true
>>218195666Surely it can't be worse than Scream 3. That movie literally killed the franchise for a decade.
>>218195727I agree. I rewatched Scream 4 recently and it was just bizarre different characters kept repeating the "What's your favourite scary movie?" line over and over again. And we're supposed to believe somebody that looks like a young Hayden Panettiere knows an absurd amount of horror movie trivia that would make any NEET blush.
