Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

austinmoore-61392 For all die-hard Scream fans this was a blessing from above. Just about every horror movie had their remake in the mid to late 2000's and Scream jumped onto the hype train in release Scream 4 in 2011. After the success of the original trilogy 10 years prior this film it was able to attain just about every actor that was hot at the time (and they still are). This in my opinion made the movie not as good as it could have been. Grabbing people from other film genres that don't fit into horror (in my opinion; they are still very talented) ie; Kristen Bell and Anthony Anderson. Glad that they more than likely brought a different audience to see the movie and made the movie more successful. Other that that this film is full of the perfect cliches that the Scream franchise is known for, and something I feel like they did really well in this movie was Kirby Reed (Hayden Panttiere) who was the Cinephile in the movie. In the fourth installment they showed off Kirby towards the end of the movie answering questions from ghostface on the phone and rattling off answers incredibly fast and showing off that she is the movie buff she is supposed to be. Which you didn't really get to see from Randy Meeks in the original trilogy and the TV series hosted by MTV's Noah Foster. Just like a lot of horrors today the film was genuinely fun to watch. There are not many horror movies I can watch two times in a row and not get bored easily. Great movie.

skybrick736 Once hearing that Wes Craven was going to give Scream 4 a shot it was hard not to think that it was going to be just another stab at a payday, no pun intended. To delight of many though Scream 4 was a huge surprise that brought back the feel and atmosphere of the first two. The mixture of the old guard and the new class meshed really well together allowing other people to shine besides Courtney Cox and David Arquette. Emma Roberts and Hayden Paneittiere were absolutely stunning on screen and did terrific jobs portraying strong lead females as well. The duo of Erik Knudsen and Rory Culkin also provided great comedic performances and took over the job of "meta" kings that Jamie Kennedy has held in the series. What really took me by surprise was how well Wes Craven executed his ending of his Scream franchise capitalizing on a brilliant twist.

NileFortnerBoogieBuddha954 If you wondering why I'm reviewing all the Scream movies. It's because I got all the scream movies on blu ray, at a Miami Pawn shop for a dollar each. So I decided to rewatch them for the first time in a while.In the beginning, one call stated it all. Now a new generation will meet a ghost from the past. Not Matthew Mcconaughey in Ghost of Girlfriends Past. I'm talking about that old school ghost, ghostface killah (not the one from the Wu-Tang Clan), the return of Ghostface in Scream 4. Scream is back for a new decade, new rules, a new game, a new group of people to kill.I believe Scream 4, is the second best Scream movie in the franchise. Now many people, including myself, believe that once we got to Scream 3, we were screaming, and not in a good way. This film recognizes more than just horror eliminates. It recognizes how a new generation acts, new rules, how entertainment has changed due to technology, what people are willing to do in order to achieve fame, sequels, reboots, references, etc.Kevin Williamson is back as the screenwriter, and I'm glad he came back. He brought what Scream 3 lacked. He brought originality, and a new direction. Even though we've seen the same template before. The film has the ability to stay one step ahead of the audience, and stay ahead of what you think is going to happen.So these are my final Bitchin' Buddha thoughts on Scream 4. Scream 4 doesn't pack a punch like the first film. But, it was fun, and it was like going down memory lane. I'm glad they didn't end the series with the third film. I believe Scream 4 earns a...8/10!This review is brought to you by Boogie Buddha, and remember don't just get down, but get Boogie. Thank you for reading, and viewing, and I hope you all have an amazing day as always. :)

OllieSuave-007 This is the reunion of the original characters and a new generation of screams relating to the murder mystery surrounding Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who is now a local author detailing her past experiences of the Woodboro murders. She returns to her hometown only to find out that the mysterious man behind the phone is back and is stalking Sidney's cousin, Trudie.Like the previous three films, the actors went all out in pulling another dramatic and suspenseful horror movie with some eerie calm moments and jumpy sequences. It has its corny moments, especially the overly-executed teenage vernacular moments, the nerd-acting producers of the Cinema Club and the somewhat clueless acting Dewey (David Arquette). But, the film is watchable and will give you several good scares from its creepy and jumpy scenes.Even as the third sequel featuring yet again the Ghostface character, the plot still looks fresh and is well-paced from start to finish. Like his horror films, Director Wes Craven has kept the unknown and whodunit culprits a big mystery, leaving this film unpredictable and full of surprises and twists. Overall, it's not a bad film to conclude, as of now, the Scream franchise.Grade B-
