In Scream 4, Sidney Prescott, now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey and Gale, who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (played by Emma Roberts) and her Aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell). Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger. -- (C) Dimension

Reviews for Scream 4
CinemaDope
Let’s see if we can get this straight. “Scream 4,” the latest in the Wes Craven-Kevin Williamson horror franchise, is a post-post modern deconstruction of “Scream,” the hit 1996 slasher movie send-up.

Scream 4 is clearly better than Scream 3. There, that’s out of the way. Now we can discuss the pertinent issues that matter, such as the housing market and one’s personal safety standards. Let’s do this.

Unless you're Wes Craven, in which case it's not enough. That's the point he and screenwriter Kevin Williamson seem to be driving home with "Scream 4," the latest installment in the self-aware horror franchise that hasn't seen a new offering in 10 years.

In Scream 4, the Bruce Willis hero role is refreshingly filled by Campbell. Her more mature heroine does a lot less whimpering and a lot more ass-whooping. “I’m going to split your eyelids so you can watch me stab you,” the killer taunts.
