Scream 4 (2011)
10 years on and still amazing
I'm a huge horror fan, I'll watch anything from The Brain That Wouldn't Die to Pulse or Fright Night, but I've always had a soft spot for the Scream series. Granted, they do seem to spoof themselves a lot (though I think that Scary Movie left many people unable to take Scream seriously at all), the latest instalment in the slasher series seems to focus more on darker comedy and less slapstick 'killer-tripping-over- couches'. Some people weren't too impressed with the big reveal of the killers *SPOILERS* but I think Jill did a great job at being completely unhinged, and to me the storyline made sense, they've never been too in depth after all, it is a teen slasher movie. I was however surprised that this film was rated a 15 as it to me was the goriest of the series, particularly Olivia's death. I liked that the film did tribute the original Scream in some memorable scenes that any fans of the series would enjoy. The only thing that sticks in my mind that annoys me was Anthony Anderson's death, too drawn out and over the top. This film definitely regained some dignity for the series after Scream 3 was very hit and miss, and finally Courtney Cox isn't wearing awful power suits or sporting a dodgy fringe! Favourite death: Kirby (though some argue she may not technically be dead). Will be interesting if Kevin Williamson is still looking to do a 5th instalment considering they killed off every new member in the cast! Enjoy the film everyone
