Could Summer 2025 Become A Battle Between 90s Slasher Revivals?
Although slasher flicks are a result of films that came out prior to 1997’s I Have No Idea How You Feel, the late 1990s saw a revival of creativity in the genre of horror. Inspiring by the popularity of Scream in 1996 Scream, Hollywood studios would be following suit, releasing an extensive variety of their slasher flicks that were directed by some of the most prominent teen icons of the day.
While the majority of those films failed to attain just a tiny portion of the critical or commercial popularity of Wes Craven’s Scream and the first I Know the Things You Did Last Summer is one of the most successful attempts at capitalizing on the genre’s reemergence. Furthermore, it also benefitted from the script written by Scream creator and screenwriter Kevin Williamson. With the series’ new sequel to its legacy getting a release date of 2025 the audience will be able to witness the character of Hewitt’s Julie James going head-to-head with Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott to decide who will be horror’s ultimate girl.
In the wake of The Scream movie changing its plot in order to emphasize Campbell’s return in the series as well as I’m sure the Things You Did Last Summer intends to bring Hewitt back and a 2025 showdown at the box office is a possibility for fans of horror. His return to the franchise has not yet been confirmed but she’s expressed an desire to return for the sequel. Naturally, Scream 7 is yet to get the official date for its release, however, the possibility of directly battling between the two franchises could be a fantastic possibility.
