I finally had the chance to see Scream 4, and I must say.....I personally loved it. I love the original Scream, and the franchise in general, and I felt that this sequal was just the thing that the franchise needed to come back from the grave, 11 years after the last one was released.
Now, I realize that so many other horror blogs, sites, and places have already reviewed this movie, and honestly, there's not much more to say that hasn't already been said by those sites. So, instead of a traditional review, I'm just going to focus on certain things that I observed in the film.
- Okay, so it isn't really in the film, but on all the posters and trailers, Scream is written as Scre4m. Am I the only one really tired of the whole 'numbers as letters' thing? Couldn't it have just been written as Scream 4?
- Rory Culkin. Didn't love his character, but that isn't what I want to talk about. Look at that boy's eyes. Is it just me, but don't his eyes look....well, evil?
- Gale Weathers...I've never been a huge fan of the character. I didn't like her that much in Scream, just because she was a freaking bitch. In this movie, at least her and Sidney got along, but I have to say....she's gotten somewhat idiotic over the years. I mean, why would you go looking for Ghostface all alone? That's practically a death wish. Though, I must say....I loved when she told the weird policewoman that her lemon squares tasted like ass.
-Neve Campbell hasn't changed a bit.
- Lemon Squares: Tasting like ass since 2011
-Hayden Panettiere....her character, Kirby, was interesting. A true horror movie buff. Because of that fact, I must wonder.....why was she stupid enough to fall for Ghostface's trap?
-The Twist ending. There is no picture, of course. But, the twist ending.....I easily figured it out, but that didn't make it any less surprising and effective. It was interesting, awesome, and I enjoyed it.
