This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The "Scream" movies basically exist to show a-list stars getting cut up in trashy horror movie fare. Roger Ebert said that horror is the one genre of film that does not require big stars to fill seats. People will go to see them anyway because they want blood and guts.Thus, most horror movies - even the ones that receive wide release - don't have recognizable stars.The "Scream" series is different, and indeed, all the fourth movie in the franchise really has to offer is its stars: Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, and cameos from Anna Paquin, Adam Brody and Kristen Bell.These, of course, in addition to the three main stars who are in every movie.Unfortunately, other than these starring roles and walk-ons, the rest of the movie is pretty light on the ground. At almost two hours it's also fairly padded.I confess I was unable to guess correctly the identity of the killers. I couldn't say I was that surprised though - not because it wasn't a well kept secret, but because I wasn't really paying attention by the end. The movie's just too long and boring.It's also in dire need of some comic relief that Jamie Kennedy would have brought to it. What's the bet that the producers regret ever having killed off his character?

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.

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"

Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer. Scream 4 is once more directed by Wes Craven and stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Emma Roberts and honestly i gotta say this is easily the best one next to the original they basically almost "killed" Sidney and Gale the killer is once more 2 people and it's one big twist that i absolutely loved, there's even more gore but there's also a lot of clever humor and it's just a tone of fun sequel also this film unlike the previous 3 entries it starts with again a murder inside a house but instead of the real world it happens inside a movie which is inside another film which is inside another film and it was pretty weird but it totally worked for me it basically took 12 years for another Scream film and damn it doesn't disappoint not even for a bit. I always wanted to see another one a Scream 5 or even a 6 but since Wes Craven passed away i beg Hollywood not to go on with this just look what they did to Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street every sequel after Halloween 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and New Nghtmare was awful including 2 it self if you want to make another sequel bring back the original cast and find a director who knows how to make a proper sequel for example James Wan but anyways Scre4m is a must see!!
