The 7th installment is finally here in the notorious Scream franchise and it was time for The Dreadful duo to sit down and check it out. With Neve Campbell returning as Sydney reliving the nightmare once again, some say the duo are still ranting about this film to this very second you are listening to this episode....ooo boy you're in for a ride with this one.

The Dreadful Duo take a pleasent trip back to the late 90s where we were treated to the late boom of teen slashers Horror movies featuring posters that all followed the same rule of 'GET EVERYONES HEAD SHOT ON IT'. Todays film is no exception with a surprisingly hit cast featuring in the parasitic alien based Horror, The Faculty.
