Scream 7 has big shoes to fill after the resounding success of the previous two movies in particular. The pressure has intensified since Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega's exits, but Neve Campbell is returning as Sidney Prescott and Kevin WIlliamson is on board to direct, and that has the fans of the franchise very excited about Scream 7's prospects. However, every sequel in the franchise has always lived in the shadow of the 1996 original, and if Scream 7 is going to be a success, it needs to move past the hype that surrounds the first Scream.
