Top Box Office. Jester McGree. What's the Tomatometer? Follow Us. Everything We Know. Scream 4 did OK at the box office but was not nearly the hit of the first three. It all but killed the franchise theatrically though it did find life again on TV partially because, in the 10 years between movies, all kinds of unattainable expectations were built. It was difficult, at least for me personally, to judge Scream 4 both just on its own and as a part of the larger franchise.
The point was to subvert the horror genre by making them a whodunit as well as use tropes from other horror films against the audience— Scream 4 does all of that beautifully. Maybe too much so. It starts by giving you not one, but two, fake-outs of traditional Scream intros before getting to the actual one, which is largely a commentary on the first two. Making Jill, the main character, the primary killer is also a new twist—though admittedly, that you need to account for her whereabouts makes suspension of disbelief a little more crucial in this sequel.
In addition, more so than the previous two films, Scream 4 gives indications throughout that almost every single person could be the killer. You may also have forgotten just how impressive and massive the cast is. One of the openings features Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell. Adam Brody and Anthony Anderson play two of the cops.
Allison Brie is a slimy publicist. Of course, the main three characters come back Cox especially is really great in the movie and the kids throughout are wonderful, especially Hayden Panettiere—who spent many years post- Heroes and Scream in the very un-genre series Nashville. It would be nice to see her show back up in this realm again. None of the blood smudges or goes onto her hand. If the murder had just happened the blood would have went onto her hand, and smeared down the door frame.
Quotes Sidney Prescott : You forgot the first rule of remakes, Jill. Both cuts are identical in terms of visual content, but there are approximately 30 aural differences between the two. User reviews Review. Top review. I'm 23 years old. It was a landmark in the puberty years of many movie-buffs-to-be who grew up in the late 's good times! So, eleven years later, a new SCREAM movie comes out, reuniting the original director, writer and the three survivors of the franchise, heroine Sidney Prescott my first movie crush, Neve Campbell, still naturally beautiful and always a competent actress , Dewey David Arquette and Gale Courteney Cox.
Die hard fans, like me, have been waiting for this for a decade, and it paid off. Actually, it works so well because it was made 11 years after the last installment. The movie is far from perfect, obviously, but stands as the best of the sequels; "Scream 2" was above the average but came way too soon, and the third one was a wasted opportunity.
The tongue-in-cheek humor works for the most part, and Williamson knows how to parody a trend that he re created himself, including the ridiculousness of torture porn from the likes of SAW and its annual sequels - "movies with no character development, in which you don't care who lives or dies". That said, it was a nostalgic flick that made me feel like I'm a preteen again. Bravo, Sidney! FAQ 9. Is 'Scream 4' based on a book?
