Leave your thoughts about Scream 4.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA worthy sequel certain to scare the bejesus out of Scream franchise fans with a strong stomach for gratuitous gore. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertRetaining all the elements introduced in the 1996 original -- gut-clenching tension, sharp whodunit plotting, self-aware humor and a sympathetic core cast -- it advances the story to a new-media era. |
| Ultra CultureCharlie LyneThe unstoppable triumvirate of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette keep the film grounded despite more BONKERS META CRAP that you ever imagined possible in 111mins |
| Filmcritic.comBill Gibronit's hard to tell if this new installment is a mere cash grab or the result of some manner of delusion |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIn many ways, Scream 4 is exactly the kind of dumb, mechanical slasher movie that Scream was talking about. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... Basically back to the same old, same old. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing in this age of endless "Saw" sequels. |
| PopMattersMichael AbernethyThe Screams have always focused on the grisly business of turning horror into entertainment, and predictable entertainment at that. |
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellThough director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson don't quite generate the lightning-in-a-bottle energy that made their first Scream movie a hit, they manage to awaken a 15-year-old slasher franchise that has been dormant for a decade. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...damned if they haven't managed to give an old saw a new twist...The film's a fun ride for those who remember the original fondly, but some of those jokes about the cutting room floor should have been taken to heart. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanDefies all rules by being a post-trilogy sequel as vividly original and resourceful as any horror film released in years. |
