About this movie

The original star-studded cast reunites a decade later in this spine-chilling fourth installment of the $300M-grossing Scream franchise. Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell of THE CRAFT), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette of NEVER BEEN KISSED) and Gale (Courtney Cox of TV's FRIENDS), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts of VALENTINE'S DAY) and her Aunt Kate. Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends (including Hayden Panettiere of TV's HEROES), and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger. Legendary director Wes Craven (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) "guides us expertly down a series of blind, bloody alleys" (Slate Magazine).

As a #1 Scream fan eye am obligated to review this movie, eye am also obligated to like it which eye have learnt to do, eye feel like theres some plot holes towards the end at Kirbys house, even the actors look a little confused with the cell phones and the texts and the calls, the cops nvr get there Dewey literally spent the last parts of the movie driving back and foward, good concept and good story and eye am glad to see the trio back but you could tell something was off, eye think they rushed into it.

Most "reboots" arn't good like for example Prom Night the movie wasn't suspenseful at all. The why killing spree was a crapy reason why it occur *Spoilers don't read if you didn't watch the movie* the reason why the killing spree happen because they want to be famous like Sidney but the killing spree in Scream 1-3 have a real reason why they want sidney dead *Spoilers are over* if they make Scream 5 I hope they did better then Scream 4

Scream 4 is an excellent sequel to the original trilogy. Beginning roughly a decade after Scream 3, Scream 4 features Sidney's return to Woodsboro. The series tongue in cheek humor is preserved with characters in the movie mocking modern day cliches, for example "Facebook Killers". Like every scream movies, the rules of a horror movie are debated by characters which is entertaining even by itself. Overall I have it 5 stars because of the originality, unique plot, and effective character development.
