At last … after many years of hoping, praying, talking … then planning and waiting … Scream 4 finally opened in theaters here in the US yesterday. It seems like a lifetime ago that we first heard that the Scream film franchise was being rebooted with a new sequel and an ice age since the last film was released in theaters … but Scream 4 is out. I was able to see the film at a showing yesterday and I am very happy to reveal that I LOVED it entirely and believe it to be a very worthy sequel to the amazing Scream horror franchise.
I was very happy to see that Scream 4 manages to update the “horror movie rules” formula while still staying true to the spirit that we all know and love from the first 3 Scream films. The opening kill scene is just BRILLIANT. It’s so meta that I can’t even properly describe what happens … you’ll have to see it for yourselves. The movie is funny AND bloody. It seemed to be the bloodiest Scream movie yet … which is right on par with the way the sequels should be (tho I have to give the edge of the funniest Scream film to Scream 3, primarily because of Parker Posey‘s brilliant performance … and because of Courteney Cox‘s outrageously severe bangs). There is a nice dichotomy between the original cast and the new generation and the story twists and turns so much that you really do not know who the killer is (or killers are) until the body count whittles down the suspects … and even then, you really can’t be sure until that ghostface mask comes off. Be warned … NO ONE is safe in this film. If you have a fave character — either old or new — you better be prepared to see them skewered cuz in this film, anyone can die at any time. If I have one complaint about the film, it would be how long the ending dragged on. As you Scream fans should know, the killer always comes back for one last scare … but this time, that come back is quite long and drawn out. BUT, the movie is so good you kinda don’t want it to end so … more movie means more scares. I really had no idea how they were going to reboot the Scream franchise and make it both new AND true to the original films which came out a decade ago. I was very pleased to see that Scream 4 is a fun reboot of the franchise … and I’m DYING to see where the story will go next in Scream 5 … and Scream 6? Do yourselves a favor, go see Scream 4. If you love the original films, I think you’ll really get a kick out of and will enjoy this film a lot.
