Scream 4 Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the sardonic laughs are mostly gone in this wheezing cash cow and the cries don't resonate

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• the kills themselves are both bountiful and bloody, the movie references are brilliant and bloody, the funny is very frequent and very frequently bloody, but to say any more would ruin the boo

  by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times ]

• the film seems to just give in and join its slasher brethren, devolving into a string of gruesome, but unoriginal, slayings

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• The "Scream" movies have always been clever. The problem is that they never move beyond cleverness

  by Robert W. Butler [Kansas City Star ]

• Scream 4 goes about its bloody business with impersonal, impatient proficiency

  Review rate : C by Nathan Rabin [AV Club ]

• it's precisely the meta-textual aspect of the film that gives it promise, even as it fumbles the delivery

  by Todd Gilchrist [Boxoffice Magazine ]

• it's almost really cool, without quite being really cool

  by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com ]

• is an enjoyable fourquel that won't disappoint fans of the franchise, though it's never quite as scary as it should have been

  by Matthew Turner [View London ]

• for genre geeks, this can be fun - although nothing in Scream 4 is quite as clever as the filmmakers seem to think it is

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]
