Scream 4

If you are a fan of the series, Scream 4 does not disappoint.  True to fashion, there are celebrity cameos and Ghostface makes his triumphant return to screen.  However, this time it is different, ten plus years have past and technology is mainstream and plays a prominent part in the film.


The movie reintroduces Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) to new generations of horror fans, this time Sidney is not the helpless and pathetic heroine that she has typically been in the previous three films.  Sidney is stronger and ready to move on with her life.  She has written a book about her experiences moving from the role of victim to that of survivor.  She decides to launch her book in her beloved hometown of Woodsboro, when suddenly murders begin to occur.  Sidney has once again become a target of the infamous Ghostface killer and involving beloved characters of Dewey Riley (David Arquette) and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), along with new faces of Sidney's aunt Kate Roberts (Mary McDonnell) and her cousin Jill Roberts (Emma Roberts). Ghostface has targeted the current  high school generation and their sophisticated way of looking at movies.  In the age of constant remakes and sequels, they have a vast knowledge of the horror genre that would make Jamie Kennedy's character of Randy proud.


Who will survive, who will die according to the classic horror film rules, and who is the new Ghostface?  All answered in this hilarious chapter of the Scream series.

I give it a 7 out of 10.

Next up is "Water For Elephants"
