This week on After the Frame, we’re packing three reviews into one episode, moving from franchise disappointment, to atmospheric dread, to a sequel that’s fun but maybe a little too safe.

We start with Scream 7, a frustrating entry in a franchise that usually knows how to balance mystery, nostalgia, and sharp horror satire. This time, the villain reveal, callback-heavy storytelling, and lack of real suspense leave us wondering if Scream has finally drifted closer to Stab than its own best entries.

Then we shift into Undertone, a slower, stranger horror film that builds fear through mood, camerawork, and an incredible sound mix. We talk about why it works best as a Dolby dread experience, how Nina Kiri carries the film, and why the thin plot and shaky ending keep it from fully landing.

Finally, we close with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, a sequel that keeps the dark comedy chaos alive without really raising the stakes. It’s still a fun time, but for a franchise with this much room to get weird, we wanted it to push harder, swing bigger, and go more unhinged.

Three horror-adjacent movies. Three very different levels of success. One episode full of sequels, scares, and missed opportunities.

This week on After the Frame, we dive into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights (2026) — a bold retelling that looks stunning, feels soaked in atmosphere, and swings hard for gothic intensity. For a lot of its runtime, it’s gripping in that “can’t look away” way… and then the final stretch gets shaky.

We break down what worked and what didn’t: the film’s striking visual language, the heavy tone, and the clear directorial point of view, alongside a third act that struggles to stick the emotional landing. We talk about what the movie is trying to say about obsession and cruelty, where the storytelling pulls its punches, and why it ends up being more compelling in pieces than as a whole.

If you’re into messy romance, bleak vibes, and ambitious adaptations that spark debate, this one’s for you.

This week on After the Frame, we’re keeping it loose - breaking down the latest entertainment headlines, arguing over our favorite topics, and letting the takes fly.

We start with quick reactions to what’s happening in movies and pop culture right now, then jump into a few games that instantly spiral into debate. From guessing lists to ranking on the fly to “winner stays on” chaos, it’s competitive, ridiculous, and way more heated than it should be.

We close out with a round of hot takes - the kind that either look genius in six months or get us dragged online by tomorrow.
