What Would Your Scream 7 Killer/Motive Be?
With the leaks being seemingly confirmed and people upset about the reveal/motive, I'm curious as to what your motive would be? Given the exact same circumstances and same cast we have for 7, what would your motive be?
For me personally, I would have fully leaned into the AI angle and focused on the younger cast. I would have made it so that instead of GF using AI to bring back the old killers, he'd be sending deepfakes of our main characters in compromising positions around school. At one point, they can send a video to the cops which shows one of the main characters being responsible for one of the killings which leads to their arrest until they find out the video was faked. Would be a nice twist on Billy being arrested in part one.
All in all, the killer would be the weird kid that's been described as a 'Ted Bundy' type. He's treated like a social pariah the entire time and it's because there are rumors that he's into some nasty or disturbing stuff which was caught on video years ago. The entire time we would think Tatum and her friends are innocent victims being targeted for no reason until we find out that Tatum and her friends are the ones who made a deepfake video of him years ago that ruined his life and made him into the social pariah that he is. Would be a nice take on the dangers of AI and how people think it's all innocent fun and games until the shoe is on the other foot and they're the ones being lied about.
