It's been eleven years, but Scream is back and better than ever. Honestly out of all the horror franchises, I never suspected of this one making a come back. I'm glad Wes Craven came back and decided to do this otherwise it would've been bad.
For the cast, the original trio Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette return and deliver great performances, along with new faces that also did a great job too. The overall film itself is witty, suspenseful, and as always completely unpredictable.
If there's one thing I like Scream for, is that it points out all the cliches in horror movies. For this latest installment, the film pointed out that all modern horror cliches have inadvertently replaced the old ones. The fact that there's no creativity in the horror genre anymore, that every horror movie that comes out is a lackluster re-make, a senseless gore fest with no substance, or just a plain old bad sequel.
The film also delivered an underlying message, that to me really got right. The film pointed out how people are obsessed with social networking sites and cell phones, and how self exploitation can be a way of living your life. Because honestly, all these to me are what's wrong with our generation, and it's the reason why no one takes us seriously.
Overall, Scream 4 is a good movie that in the end shows that old-school horror is still the best. 8)
