Scream 4 (2011)

Eleven years after the release of Scream 3, producers were ready to try again. Though the difference is this time, they didn’t have too many schedules to work around. Everyone from Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette, not to mention director Wes Craven, had nothing else going on and were ready to play in the Scream sandbox again. Though Craven did have some some standards. If he was coming back, Kevin Williamson had to return to write it and the script had to be as good as the first film. So Williamson waited until a break in The Vampire Diaries TV show to churn out a script full of things Scream fans come to see. Yet, the fans didn’t show up. Once Scream 4 was finally released in April of 2011, even with the inclusion of Heroes’ Hayden Panetierre and the returning cast, the film landed with a thud. Is it warranted? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review the last film of the series that Garrett has seen. Be sure to return next week as they review Scream (2022), a film of which only Matt has seen. Remember, all this is a lead up to a review of the just released Scream 7!
