My Film: 'Scream 4' 15-4-11

Ten years after Scream 3, Wes Craven returns to the franchise where the characters seem to know more about what makes a good, scary horror film than the director does.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, webcams, torture porn and phone apps are all quickly name checked to show how up to date this movie is; it's a help as the fashions, hairstyles and slang haven't changed one bit since the first film. There is even a Joshua Tree-era U2 poster on a teen's wall and Neve Campbell doesn't appear to have aged a day.

Lots of people slated this film for its high profile cast and for being a remake but I do have to admit, I loved it! Reuniting Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette was brilliant in yet another sequel! this film did, however entertain me more than Scream 2 and 3 but it lacked that tongue in cheek from the original and best Scream.

It isn't likely to scare you but it is rather entertaining, I would recommend it lovers of cheesy horror films.

My Star Rating:

7/10 *
