It’s his first gig behind the camera since Teaching Mrs. Tingle, a buzzy high school thriller that arrived in 1999.
…series creator Kevin Williamson is back in the (co-)screenwriters seat as well as occupying the director’s chair he forswore after the Mrs. Taylor Hackford-starring masterpiece that is Teaching [née Killing] Mrs. Tingle (1999).
…his first film as director since 1999’s defanged dark comedy Teaching Mrs Tingle…
As a director, this marks the second time Williamson has called the shots after 1999’s Teaching Mrs Tingle.
SCREAM 7 is not Williamson’s feature directorial debut – that would be 1999’s TEACHING MRS. TINGLE – but it’s his first time helming one of his SCREAM screenplays.
Williamson had some good ideas three decades ago, but the well has run dry. Allowing him to direct only his second feature film ever (after 1999’s Teaching Mrs. Tingle) with the franchise in crisis mode results in a discombobulated travesty.
