PAGILAS, Hollywood – Slasher film director Wes Craven brings back his Scream films to moviegoers of the new generation. The fourth installment opened in theaters worldwide in May 2011 with its original cast Courtney Cox (Gale Weathers), David Arquette (Dewey Riley) and Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott). Plus Hollywood starlets and Oscar Best Actress winner Anna Paquin.
The story brings Sidney Prescott back to her hometown Woodsboro to start life a new and to get herself out of darkness.
Scream 4 is an okay movie for a popcorn horror flick but if you review its pacing, it felt like Neve Campbell was coaching young co-stars every now and then as they try to escape the brandishing knife of Mr. Ghostface.
There is a scene that paid tribute to Drew Barrymore’s Casey Becker in the original Scream. Kirby (Hayden Panettiere) had to answer the killer’s questions over her mobile phone in order to save Charlie (Rory Culkin) who was tied up on a chair just like Steve Orth (Casey Becker’s boyfriend). However, before it happened, Sidney and Kirby ran downstairs and were looking for the latter’s friends.
Then, Kirby, who seemed to be having Sidney’s assistance in that scene, saw Charlie attacked by the killer and bleeding through the patio and got terrified. She didn’t know if she could trust him then, Sidney told her not to open the door if she can’t trust him. I thought that scene was like having Sidney as Kirby’s mentor or something.
But the rest was fun and entertaining. I love the part when Jill (Emma Roberts) got served. Best line in the movie: You forgot something about remakes, Jill. Don’t fuck with the original. Had Tatum not been killed, she would’ve told her best friend “Bam Sidney, super bitch!”
Furthermore, I was hoping Anna Paquin would have the same brutal opening kill like Drew Barrymore’s. It would’ve been kick-ass.
There should’ve been some sex scene with Emma Roberts and Nico Tortorella.
Some fans continue to discuss who is the new Drew Barrymore in Scream 4? For me, you can never replace the Drew Barrymore opening scene. Not even Julia Roberts joining the Scream gang. It’s classic.
Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu’s co-star in the movie Charlie’s Angels may had been catty to Wes Craven when she demanded to play Casey Becker instead of Sidney Prescott before filming the original Scream in 1996, but it turned out to be a cinematic shock in Hollywood. Everybody thought she was going to be in the whole film something like Drew Barrymore and Neve Campbell as Casey Becker and Sidney Prescott, best friends, running around, screaming as Mr. Ghostface attacks them both.Something like Jennifer Love-Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar in I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Pagilas Hollywood reporters confirmed that Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox signed for two more installments. Does it sound ridiculous Scream 5 and Scream 6?
Oh well. If money keeps coming in, why would the producers shut it down?
