Scream 4
You can tell a lot about a movie by the opening scene. The are great ones like the beginning of Jaws and bad ones like the beginning of Batman and Robin. Well this beginning of this one definitely falls with the latter. When you start a movie inside a movie you know its gonna be bad. What was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy for new generation it fails big time. The survivor of the original trilogy returns to her hometown and the killings start happening again. All the new people die and all the old people survive. Since this is the fourth they have to reinvent the horror movie trilogy rules. That has always been the biggest problem with this series, you don't need to acknowledge horror movie rules without taking something away from your movie. Since i've spoiled the ending for one person i'll do it for everyone else. The killer was the cousin. She wanted to be famous and instead of making a sex tape like everyone else does she decides to kill everyone and make herself look like the lone survivor. Maybe i'm just being biased because i don't like horror movies usually and i thought it was stupid to make a fourth movie ten years after the last. Due to all the talk of the rules of horror movies and that the rules from the previous movies are no longer valid, it feels like they were breaking the fourth wall. What once had the potential to be a promising movie series has just fallen to cliche and shows why its best just to make one great horror movie and stop there. If you want a good horror movie watch something old school, not this piece of #%$! Score rating of 3/10.
