Scream 4 (2011)

My Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 80%

Here's my general question: WHY THE FRICK IS THIS A 63% RIGHT NOW? THIS WAS REALLY AWESOME MOVIE!!!!

Plot: Well now Gale and Dewey are married, Dewey is actually the Sheriff of Woodsboro, and Sidney has come back to Woodsboro during her book tour to her own book concerning the events of the series. But amidst it all, another Ghostface killer is on the loose and once again the survivors have come to try to stop the killer with a new set of characters as usual.

This was a smartly made movie. The first 15 minutes were brilliantly done. It comes back to referencing other horror movies again in just a comedic way, there are twists and times when you get tricked. Throughout the film you are just continuing to guess who is the killer. And with the ending, you think something has actually happened when it actually hasn't. Oh i just want to go on and on as to how that is the case with this film specifically. But i don't want to spoil a single bit of it for any of you guys.

Acting/Characters:
Neve Campbell/Sidney Prescott: the not to good thing about her performance is that she still has a bit of a facial expression that she seems to always use. not all of the time but it seems like most of the time. But it's actually good aside from that because that shows that she is still being the Sidney Prescott we all know and love to this day.
David Arquette/Sheriff Dewey Riley: first off, i love the beginning of the film for Dewey in the extent that he is now married to Gale and has come as far as becoming the sheriff. life is good all around for our buddy Dewey in those extents and i just love that. along with that, i liked that there was more facial expressions and movement for Dewey. I mean it makes sense in the past but he's grown up now. It was time for him for the actor to expand the character more in terms of movements and stuff. So i'm glad they did that.
Courtney Cox/Gale Riley: It was nice for her to be on a different approach this time. Her journalism days are over but she's still trying to solve the mystery in a way that shows that she's still got the moves. It was nice of Cox to keep Gale as she truly was up to this point...especially with it no longer being about her trying to get a story.
Alison Brie/Rebecca Walters: I know Brie through the tv show Community. and I liked her performance. nuff said.
Hayden Panettiere/Kirby Reed: Well she has gotten a bit of tan since Heroes. I also liked her performance and her character all around. She had her funny parts.
*Warning: DO NOT READ THE LAST ACTOR/CHARACTER UNTIL AFTER SEEING THE MOVIE*
Emma Roberts/Jill Roberts: I think she was the best part of the movie. She had a very hard, unique character. A true psycho. She truly lived up to the line: "movie don't make Psychos, movies make psychos more creative."

Screenplay: Very creative, very original. Better than we could have hope I think is what i should say.

Music: I really liked how it played songs very similar to the first one. that was really good. the music was very good all around.

Editing: there were two points in the editing that I did not like. one is when they did a cut to show on character that Sidney has disappeared while that character looked at a dead body, and that there were two point which were only a couple of seconds from each other where the screen went black. the second time made sense but I think neither of them were suppose to be there. But other than that, the editing was awesome. I especially liked how they had things set with the camera angles and the lighting on a set and things like that to set a mood for something that you think is the case but it really isn't. I'm mostly talking about when Sidney meet that one cop who was in the dark through most of their dialogue. That was clever.

Effects: their more realistic like they're suppose to be. nuff said.

and that is my review for Scream 4. It was a wonderful movie bringing Scream back to the way it should be. I hope you guys see it very soon and agree with me. until then, just remember my friends; movies don't make psychos, movies make psychos MORE CREATIVE!!!!
