Just perfect...
Great Film overall
Good movie but grossly overrated
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is much better then most horror sequels. This film has moments that "Scream" fans will get a huge kick out of. The story does go a little too crazy however at the end. It does perform as an excellent chapter in the "Scream Series". If you have never seen a "Scream" film that is okay. This film works on its own and you do not have too know anything of the previous films.In this film On the fifteenth anniversary of the original Woodsboro murders, high school students Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper are attacked and brutally murdered by a new Ghostface.The following day, Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her new book, Out of Darkness, with her publicist Rebecca Walters. After evidence is found in Sidney's rental car, Sidney becomes a suspect in the murders and must stay in town until the murders are solved. Sidney's teenage cousin Jill, who is dealing with the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Sheldon, gets a threatening phone call from Ghostface. She and her friends Olivia Morris and Kirby Reed, are questioned about their calls by Dewey Riley, who is now the sheriff of the town, while one of his deputies, Judy Hicks, assists him in the case. Meanwhile, Dewey's wife, Gale Weathers- Riley, is struggling with writer's block. She gives up the writing and decides to investigate the murder instead. This film was so good I ended up buying it. Now if your looking for something knew in this film then you will be so disappointed. If you want to see a film that will scare you then RENT THIS. I hope one day we will get a "Scream 5"
The strange thing about Scream 4 is that, viewed completely out of context, the movie isn't an abomination. However, this film brings absolutely nothing to the table in terms of originality.For a basic plot summary...oh, why even bother for this movie. If you've seen any of the first three Scream efforts, this one is no different. Hot chicks die, police are inept, dialogue is cripplingly bad, and Ghostface runs amok.Here's the trouble with Scream 4: The original Scream (in 1996) succeeded for two reasons. First, it resurrected the slasher genre that had died in the 1980s, and did so with a very respectable, legitimately spooky effort. Second, the original used the tongue-in-cheek style of humor to parody horror movies while making one. That combination produced a riveting cinema experience, which of course was ruined by two pathetic sequels that seemed to milk the franchise dry.So, director Wes Craven tries to resurrect the franchise by going back to the approach of the '96 original. The trouble, of course, is that a parody of a parody is, well, nothing at all. What worked at first doesn't translate into today, no matter how many supposed "surprises" or plot "twists" are thrown in.On a side note, the film even screws up the casting. If Hayden Panattiere is cast as a female lead, she better be "featured", if you know what I mean. I'm not even talking about nudity here, but rather just a little eye candy. Instead, there's none of it; just another area where the overall experience fails.What it comes down to, then, is that Scream 4 is not compelling in any area of its film making, whether it be plot, characters, or "scare tactics". Look elsewhere for your Halloween entertainment this year.
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. :)
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-
