SCREAM 4 - MOVIE REVIEW

Still from Scream 4

You’ll laugh, you’ll scream. Although many were satisfied with Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) emancipating herself from the deadly Ghostface Killer in Scream 3, Director Wes Craven goes above and beyond for Fans in this latest installment of his wildly-successful Horror Franchise, Scream 4 (stylized as Scre4m).

Sidney returns as the celebrated Heroine of Woodsboro, in-town promoting her Memoir. Reuniting with good Friends Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette), Gale (Courteney Cox) and her distant Cousin Jill (Emma Roberts), she soon realizes that Ghostface Killer is still in her wake after receiving a bloody warning. And not only does he want to hurt those around her. This time he really, really, really, really wants Sidney dead.

Anyone familiar with the Scream Franchise should come to expect a certain level of camp and implausibility. Craven clearly is out to cater to the un-weak hearts of Fans. Filled to the brim with appearances from Girl-Next-Door cameos from the likes of Lucy Hale, Aimee Teegarden, Shenae Grimes, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell and more, it’s clear which demographic is being targeted with Scream 4.
