10 years on and Sidney is a successful writer performing book signings, a book tour beings her back to her home town of Woodsboro. While there she reunites with Gale Weathers and Sheriff Dewy, Sidney's return to Woodsboro leads to the appearance of a Ghostface copycat killer.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie however it's actually very good. I was pleasantly surprised, it's clever, funny and mostly unpredictable, just when you think you know what is going to happen it cleverly does the opposite.
The cast is great, a combination of the original cast and a new generation works great together, creating some funny moments and lines. Scream 4 makes fun of itself and the slasher movie genre, it completely disregards the rules from previous slasher films which makes this film feel very fresh, despite being the fourth in the series.
Despite the comic elements this film provides some genuine scares making this film very entertaining and surprisingly good. The murder scenes are well thought out and they're a little more brutal than in previous films.
Overall this is much better than the previous two Screams and almost as good as the original, it keeps you guessing right to the very end. While this is not the scariest movie you'll ever watch it's highly entertaining.
6.9 out of 10
