How can a film be good when it has got so many clichés? Well, Scream 4 is good because of the action scenes and the many turns we see in the plot. Believe me, don't think everything is over until it is really over, meaning the credits popping up the screen.The countless clichés do not spoil the movie. It is the other way around. The dejá vu - another French term used here to disguise the word "cliché" - give Scream 4 a hilarious taste. So, that it. Scream 4 is horror, action and comedy at the same time. It is not to be taken so seriously but you should not merely think this is just another American horror production. Worth watching.

it's been a long time since I have seen the first three movies in the Scream franchise,so I can't compare this one to any of them. all I know is I thought the dialogue was well written,the acting was good and course there's the self referential aspect of the film.it was at least as bloody as its predecessors if I recall.not a bad thing,in this case.i also found it unpredictable.i wasn't sure who the killer was,even though I was sure I had it figured out.The scream series has always been a cut above most(but not all)horror films.there are a few exceptions of course.anyway I see there will be a fifth Scream movie in 2017.I,for one,am really looking forward to it.any way,for me,Scream 4 is a well deserved 8/10

If you wondering why I'm reviewing all the Scream movies. It's because I got all the scream movies on blu ray, at a Miami Pawn shop for a dollar each. So I decided to rewatch them for the first time in a while.In the beginning, one call stated it all. Now a new generation will meet a ghost from the past. Not Matthew Mcconaughey in Ghost of Girlfriends Past. I'm talking about that old school ghost, ghostface killah (not the one from the Wu-Tang Clan), the return of Ghostface in Scream 4. Scream is back for a new decade, new rules, a new game, a new group of people to kill.I believe Scream 4, is the second best Scream movie in the franchise. Now many people, including myself, believe that once we got to Scream 3, we were screaming, and not in a good way. This film recognizes more than just horror eliminates. It recognizes how a new generation acts, new rules, how entertainment has changed due to technology, what people are willing to do in order to achieve fame, sequels, reboots, references, etc.Kevin Williamson is back as the screenwriter, and I'm glad he came back. He brought what Scream 3 lacked. He brought originality, and a new direction. Even though we've seen the same template before. The film has the ability to stay one step ahead of the audience, and stay ahead of what you think is going to happen.So these are my final Bitchin' Buddha thoughts on Scream 4. Scream 4 doesn't pack a punch like the first film. But, it was fun, and it was like going down memory lane. I'm glad they didn't end the series with the third film. I believe Scream 4 earns a...8/10!This review is brought to you by Boogie Buddha, and remember don't just get down, but get Boogie. Thank you for reading, and viewing, and I hope you all have an amazing day as always. :)

This is the reunion of the original characters and a new generation of screams relating to the murder mystery surrounding Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who is now a local author detailing her past experiences of the Woodboro murders. She returns to her hometown only to find out that the mysterious man behind the phone is back and is stalking Sidney's cousin, Trudie.Like the previous three films, the actors went all out in pulling another dramatic and suspenseful horror movie with some eerie calm moments and jumpy sequences. It has its corny moments, especially the overly-executed teenage vernacular moments, the nerd-acting producers of the Cinema Club and the somewhat clueless acting Dewey (David Arquette). But, the film is watchable and will give you several good scares from its creepy and jumpy scenes.Even as the third sequel featuring yet again the Ghostface character, the plot still looks fresh and is well-paced from start to finish. Like his horror films, Director Wes Craven has kept the unknown and whodunit culprits a big mystery, leaving this film unpredictable and full of surprises and twists. Overall, it's not a bad film to conclude, as of now, the Scream franchise.Grade B-
