Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

jadavix 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?

Emerenciano 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.

KaZenPhi 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.

suite92 The high school group (Jill, Kirby, Trevor, Olivia, Robbie, Charlie) will inevitably stumble over each other while dealing with the slasher. The Stab-a-thon was quite an opportunity for stumbling.The older crew (Gale, Dewey, Sidney, Judy) still have some unresolved issues after ten years. Gale's books spawned the Stab x films, which were roughly about Sidney's life. In response, Sidney has re-invented herself as an author, but the return home poses some contention. Dewey and Gale are together, but for how long, given Deputy Judy's presence?Just who is the slasher this time? Will we get a full resolution, or is another sequel in the works?How far will the screenwriters go in heightening the 'meta' experience? Apparently pretty far, considering the meeting Gale and Sydney had with the school film club. That was hardly the end of the wallowing, unfortunately.It was wonderful to see a great-looking, fine-sounding film done by professionals who chose a cast of real actors. On the other hand, there was enough meta to last a decade. The series is showing its age, all right. The same gag has been done too many times. I did like the bit with Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell, but that was the acting, not the meta.8/10
