Buzz:Scream 4
Director:Wes Craven
Writers:Kevin Williamson
Cast:Neve Campbell,Courtney Cox,David Arquette,Emma Robrets,Hayden Panettierre
Acting:B+
Entertainment:B+
Rewatchabilty:B+
Overall:B+
After an 11 year hiatus,Ghostface is back on the screen hacking and stabbing people while having an all to good time.Scream 4 is much more violent and much more witty and clever than 2000's Scream 3 and I would say it's even a tad better than Scream 2 in that its brings the action back to Woodsboro,where it all began in the first place.
The Plot:Sidney Prescott has written a book called "Out of the darkness" on her surviving the murders and how she dealt with all and eventually overcame her struggles, and is back in town to promote it and do a signing.Of course as soon as she returns murders occur and Ghostface comes out to play,this time going after Sid's cousin Jill's(Emma Roberts) friends.Of course Gale Weathers and Dewey are there as well..and married now. So the Big three are once again brought together to inevitably solve another mystery.Is this finally the movie where one of the big 3 isn't so lucky???go see it and find out.
The Movie takes stabs at everything from reboots to Saw,torture-porn document yourself flicks to the social media nowsdays ala facebook twitter,text messaging and unearned fame.It works well for the most part and Williamson,who wrote most of this balances the idea's well with no going to overboard stuffing down on throat like some films do.
The film also ratchets up the gore and Ghostface himself leaves a lot more carnage.With her insides on the outside.The humor is also back to the original's form.
With the Big three kind of having there own story,before everything connects we learn a little about the new characters.Jill reminds Sid of Sid when she was younger,she's also having problems with her ex-boyfriend Trevor(Hellllo Billy Loomis maybe).Of course there are her friends Kirby(Hayden Panettierre) Olivia(Marielle Jaffe) and film geeks Robbie(Erik Knudsen) and Charlie(Rory Culkin) who seem a little bit too obsessed with horror movies,in particular the Stabs movies.Could it be one of them responsible for the murders?All these characters come across as pretty likable with Kirby being the most memorable,yet they still didn't live up to the originals characters.
Besides that we get to meet another new interesting character,Deputy Judy Hicks(Mary Shelton) who seems a bit off and a bit obsessed with Dewey and even a bit obsessed with Sidney.
As per typical scream fashion,there are a bunch of red herrings yet I think Craven and Williamson still were able to shock us with the reveal and the motive.I thought it worked really well, and the reveal was the best since the original.
So Scream 4 is highly entertaining,clever and pretty violent,and it brings everything we love about the Scream franchise back to the lime-light.Its easily the best sequel of the franchise and hopefully this gains some new followers from this next generation

Scream 4 killer(s) prediction
This is pretty much spoiler free and is just my prediction based on trailers,pics and a couple other facts.
The Scream franchise has always been a favorite of mine,with the first Scream being among my favorite horror movies of all time,I think it's almost a perfect slasher whodone it film with great scares,tension and characters.The opening scene is just classic as well.Scream 2 was good but couldn't come close to the original and 3 was just not my cup of tea.I only killer I guessed right was Micky from the second film so maybe Im not the best to make guesses but here goes.
Obviously neither Sid,Gale or Dewey are going to be the killers,it would make no sense.
Kirby is played by Hayden Pannetierre and from the looks of it will be a newer styled Tatum.Then of course there is the geeky film student..a new Randy,but Micky already was a film student although not a geek and turned out to be the killer so i dount they'd go that road again.Marielle Jaffe plays Olivia and from the looks of it..won't make it to far in the film so that brings me to
JILL(Played by Emma Roberts)
who of course is Sid's cousin and imo the perfect and most unexpected character to be a killer and thats why it makes so much sense.Think Emma Roberts is a well known Nickelodeon child star,very friendly and very pretty,people associate her with the bright side of life.So what better to person to make the killer than her??People would not see it coming,most wouldn't.Not to mention from one trailer where she conveniently gets cut on the wrist and another where she watches from a window as her friend is terrorized by ghost-face aka her companion who could be her boyfriend.
Think also a female killer would be perfect in todays world,yes Scream 2 had Mrs Loomis but this would take it to a whole nother level in that it's Sidney's own blood responsible for all this carnage,not some stupid half brother.
take a look at this picture as well..does she not look a little off
just me making some predictions..time we tell!
