It has been ten years since the last Scream film and finally Wes Craven has taken another 'stab' at the greatest horror franchise of this generation. From the opening sequence you are glued to the screen as the film does not miss a beat. Reminiscent of the original film from 1996, Scream 4 finds Sydney returning to her hometown of Woodsboro on the anniversary of the original murders and only one thing can happen when Sydney is in town... Ghostface returns to butcher a new generation of teens, this time in bloodier ways than ever before! Everything that has always been so great about this series shines through, brighter than ever, in this fourth installment. The film is smart while delivering the laughs as it pokes fun at awful horror clichés while also building up a brooding suspense that really unnerves you. To top it all off, throughout the entire film you are in a wild guessing game of who the killer is and the ending is the most unpredictable of the series, yet! The writing is so swift and smart, only enhanced by the film's wonderful alumni and young cast! It truly is a new decade with new rules and it is one fun time at the movies!
