Scream 4 (2011)
5/10
Scream Again
15 July 2011
Last year, Wes Craven returns to direct slasher flicks but his last movie(My Soul To Take) ends up pretty bad and I thought he is losing it. But the good thing is, Scream 4 is fun. Everything is back. Yes, the movie is so back there's nothing much new about this sequel. The killing scenes are repeated from the first film. The main characters still had the same old problems. It's just repetitive and it's slightly disappointing. At least it's still fun but again, there's nothing new.

Sydney Prescott is back and she is being stalked by the Ghostface killer again. But that's not all, Officer Dewey is still having trouble to look for the identity of the killer. Gale Weathers is still hated by the public. The guys are talking about the rules. Some tricky twist in the end. Aside from that, they also repeat the killing scenes from the first Scream movies since The Ghostface Killer's plan here is redoing his same stuff from the first Scream.

There is nothing about this sequel except the new atmosphere. It's new decade but it still wanted to be postmodern. The movie is still fun. The cast actually made this film. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox does their thing. The new characters are also good to watch. The only problem here is the revealed Ghostface. I won't tell you who the killer is but in recent Scream movies they are usually twisted and full of rage but the revealed Ghostface here is kinda low key.

Overall, it's fun to watch because of the characters and it's more violent but the version I saw here in the Philippines has cuts which kinda ruined the film. But again and again, it's not new, not big either, it's just another Scream movie. Wes Craven haven't lost it yet but this deserves a less repetitive story.
