"Hello Sidney!"
YEA FIVE STARS. WUHT?
I actually really enjoyed this one, besides Emma Roberts, she gotta go. She's dating Evan Peters from American Horror Story YEA LUCKY BITCH! STAB STAB STAB. Okay sorry, lost mah cool. BUT C'MON HE'S BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole film is exciting, bloody, unexpected and a MAJOR twist at the end, that even got me! There's a scene with Hayden Panettiere that I find to be unforgettably perfect.
I'm not even going to lie but I wish back in highschool, that my school had a movie club, that would have been so much fun and maybe I could even have a cute boyfriend that liked the same films as me...OH WAIT I WENT TO…

Oh my god, they like totally reinvented and modernised the franchise 'cause they added webcams and blogs and stuff!
Totally wicked!

Aw man I don't know why this film is getting slated, it's a whole lot of fun! After Scream 3 I was all "I hope they never make another one" because I thought it was done to death, but actually Scream 4 was REALLY GOOD, better than 3, possibly better than 2 (I know a bunch of people are really into 2 but I don't get it?)!
This basically had everything I wanted from a Scream film, and I fucking love Sidney. She's like a goddamn superhero.

Not awful, just ordinary... those in-jokes and meta-references that once seemed so clever and fresh now just feel tired, and it's way too drawn-out and repetitive. Still, Craven delivers a few suspenseful sequences and the 'teen' cast provide some youthful energy even if the old-timers (Campbell, Cox, Arquette) clearly just turned up for the pay cheque.

The first time I saw Scre4m, I really liked it. Looking back, I’m not sure what I was thinking but I’m pretty sure I can take a good guess. It was the film’s opening week and I had two friends down to stay with me. We were bored and, well, there was fuck all of any interest on at the cinema. So, preparing for the worst, we poured ourselves a hipflask full of Southern Comfort and made our way down to the nearest Odeon. For a film in its opening week, the screening was pretty dead; at most, there were seven or eight people in there. Nevertheless, we’d paid for our tickets so we had no choice but to…

The SCREAM franchise ran out of things to say a decade ago, with unmitigated fiasco Scream 3, coming off the decent sequel to the inspired original. The only reason a fourth instalment exists is because it might resuscitate multiple careers (director Wes Craven, stars Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Neve Campbell) and Dimension Films don't have many other franchises to cash-in with. To be fair, enough time's passed for SCRE4M to have fresh ammo to fire (the '00s being notorious for remakes, quick sequels, unnecessary prequels, and "torture porn"), but it becomes clear that writer Kevin Williamson isn't overly interested in satirizing that stuff. Or, more accurately, can't find a way for modern horror fashions to merge with his SCREAM universe,…

I am a huge fan of the Scream franchise and loved the previous three films.
That being said, Scream 4 is not scary or suspenseful and completely unnecessary. The film is not even fun in the slightest.
The new characters are unlikeable and just didn't work for me. Even the returning characters feel out of place. In the end I just didn't care what would happen to any of these people.
Wes Craven should have left the franchise as a trilogy instead of disappointing us. -

New Decade. New Rules, zo staat het koeiengroot opgetekend boven de poster van de vierde aflevering in de 'Scream'-saga. Nogal wiedes dat horrormaestro Wes Craven stevig aan het roer van zijn franchise moest draaien: het voorbije decennium werd immers gekenmerkt door een onophoudelijke regen van lauwe horrorremakes en comateuze torture porn. Craven kon dus moeilijk komen aandraven met een -tigste variant van het slashergenre. Wie dacht dat Cravens metaspielereien niet meer zouden aanslaan heeft het duidelijk bij het verkeerde eind, want 'Scream 4' is een bijzonder geestige en slim geschreven horrorthriller geworden die feilloos inhaakt bij de horrortendenzen van vandaag.
De eerste 'Scream'-film gold destijds als een frisse bries binnenin het slasher-genre: de slachtoffers waren geen weerloze barbiepoppen, maar personages…

An intelligent update to the franchise.

Yo crecí con Scream. Si mal no recuerdo, fue el primer slasher que vi en mi vida. Scream 4 tuvo un excelente humor, no esperé reírme tanto de los meta-chistes y a pesar de todas las referencias hacia lo cliché, logró sorprenderme bastante en el último acto.

Pretty clever and funny, reminded me of the original.

I really like Wes Craven and the Scream films have always been enjoyable, this is no exception. It built a lot on the originals and just had more to offer.

Finally watched the "final" installment of this sometimes good horror "series". It was on my DVR for over a year. Pretty much what I expected. Not great, but if you enjoy the Scream films, it won't disappoint.
