Let's be realistic.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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?

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"

How can a film be good when it has got so many clichés? Well, Scream 4 is good because of the action scenes and the many turns we see in the plot. Believe me, don't think everything is over until it is really over, meaning the credits popping up the screen.The countless clichés do not spoil the movie. It is the other way around. The dejá vu - another French term used here to disguise the word "cliché" - give Scream 4 a hilarious taste. So, that it. Scream 4 is horror, action and comedy at the same time. It is not to be taken so seriously but you should not merely think this is just another American horror production. Worth watching.

Scream was a series of progressively ridiculous meta-horror movies that thought they were being clever by pointing out the most surface- level, obvious horror-movie tropes and by following them exactly ironically turned out more and more dull and tiring with each sequel. Granted the first one though did a much better job than Wes Craven's previous attempt new nightmare, did reinvigorate the snoozing horror genre and inspired other horror comedies. It's a bit too on the nose for my taste but it's still watchable and an interesting relic of its time.Enter Scream 4 or SCRE4M as it is spelled in the title (oh lord...), basically a soft reboot of the original with the surviving cast members reunited once more. It's got everything you know from the other scream movies: a barrage of fake scares, jump scares, false leads, the invincible slasher bad guy who keeps disappearing at convenient moments, ineffective protagonists, a constant drone of witty meta commentary and amid senseless violence inflicted upon disposable stock characters there's of course the BS double-cross twist ending (which I won't give away) where the bad guy explains everything like a classic Bond villain. I think I loved it. Every tired trope mentioned above and fittingly done to death in the other scream movies is back but turned up to 11 in such a way that the whole movie crosses over from ineptly bad to absolutely hilarious, especially with some of the performances that came straight out of a Zucker brothers movie. I don't think Wes Craven was aware that he was creating total schlock - with all the less than subtle commentary about the modern "torture porn" era of horror movies I must assume this was an honest attempt to show them young ones how it's done. Instead we got a great Scary Movie sequel, an accidental masterpiece and a fitting swan song to a ridiculous series and a very creative director who will be missed.
