Unfortunately for Scream, the Scary Movie franchise happened. The feeling of 'I can't take this seriously' hangs heavily in the air. I feel like Wes Craven made an intelligent move to wait this long to bring out Scream 4; to gather hype, anticipation and excitement and leave behind the stigma of the 'horror-comedy'.
I watched this late on a Friday evening at the O2 Sky Superscreen VIP Balcony, which was extremely delicious! Hugely recommend.
Rather than picking inevitable holes in the plot, thus completely ruining enjoyment of the film, I let it wash over me.
It is, strangely, a comfort to see all the familiar faces back to fight Ghostface. Neve Campbell hasn't lost the ability to pull her distressed face on cue and Courtney Cox has stepped straight back into Gail's shoes; the lovable bitch is certainly back with force.
Scream 4 is imperfect yet clever and entertaining, predictable, yet I did not expect the twist and suitably jumpy and far more gory than it's predecessors.
I would definitely recommend a watch, it's become a bit of an institution; sit back and enjoy!
