We’ve made it very clear that we were not fans of Scream 7. It just felt like even the return of star Neve Campbell and series co-creator Kevin Williamson couldn’t save a film that had issues from the start. Nevertheless, the film was a huge hit in theaters and is now making its way home, with plenty of bonus features, some of which are mighty intriguing.
Scream 7 will be released on March 31 for digital download, followed by the Blu-ray, 4K, and DVD release on June 16. All versions come with 40 min of special features, which break down as follows, as per the press release:
Featurettes:
Music Video:
Deleted Scenes:
While it’s always nice to have some featurettes and stuff, we’re most focused on these deleted scenes. In a movie that didn’t have a lot of narrative cohesion and could’ve used a bit more meat on the bone to aid in that, you’d hope that these deleted scenes could, potentially, iron out some of the film’s flaws.
But will they? From those descriptions, we don’t have a lot of faith. “Scott is Ghostface,” for example, almost certainly refers to Jimmy Tatro’s character from the opening, who has nothing to do with the plot. “Chloe and Lucas” are also kind of tertiary characters whose “connecting” probably won’t add much. Tatum saying goodbye to her boyfriend Ben feels superfluous at best, as does their leaving a bar.
But “Jessica and Sidney Chat” is interesting. Jessica (played by Anna Camp) is, um, a pretty important character in the film, and any more info about her and her motivations could help smooth out some things. And then “Chad and Mindy,” being the two characters who carried over from the previous films, could maybe help build out that connection, something that was missing in the final edit. So maybe, just maybe, these scenes could be at least a little additive.
Fans won’t have to wait long to find out as Scream 7 hits digital this week. Will you be watching again?

The 'Scream' creator and 'Scream 7' director doesn't plan on returning to the world of Ghostface.
While families and youths rushed in herds to see 'Hoppers,' 'Scream 7' and 'The Bride!' tried raking in some cash from horror fans.
It involved Matthew Lillard's character, Stu, who plays a different role in the film now.
The horror sequel overcame early production woes to score a big box-office haul, but apparently not every star got the memo about avoiding online controversy.
The return of Ghostface slashed up the box office with almost $100 million globally.
