The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Scream 4 (2011)

Starring: Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Mary Shelton, Hayden Panettiere, Alison Brie, Rory Culkin, Andy Anderson
Director: Wes Craven

Synopsis:
Sydney Prescott kicks off her book tour in home town of Woodsboro. Upon her arrival, the Ghostface murders starts up once again.

My Take:
While it's nice to revisit the "Scream" universe and enough time has passed so to make the it worth wild, there is still something missing for this fourth installment. The movie is cleverly written, mostly, as it keeps a lot people as possible suspects until near the end and has a nice commentary on the new style of fame. But you have to endure stupid kids doing stupid things, as in most slasher. For fans of the series, give it a go.

Rating:
So Good (but barely and probably for only nostalgic purposes)
