Scream 4!!!!! - Part 4

[Ziggyman]

Did anyone else think that Emma's voice was a tad bit whiny...especially when screaming...

 

[Yodaman]

I noticed that, but I thought it went perfect with her post-reveal character. I mean, people who are that obsessed about fame and celebrity are bound to be shrill and annoying as hell.

Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was odd Kincaid, Randy's Sister , and Sid's dad weren't mentioned. There might be something in the deleted scenes about the father's passing.

As for Jill [BLACKOUT]shooting[/BLACKOUT] Trevor ... he was a cheater and was with another girl at Stabathon.

As much as I'd like it, I don't think any of the three are gonna be mentioned in deleted footage.
As for the spoiler,[BLACKOUT] it was clear between gunshots and her line about "I'm not the kind of girl you cheat on!" [/BLACKOUT]

Exactly, while it was shrill and annoying, I felt Emma portrayed those wannabe fame ****es just like they sound.

What family does Sidney Prescott have left ? Maybe he's throwing us off again. We all believed Scream 4 would be a passing of the torch and now we're left hoping they resurrect Kirby. I'm thinking they'll do the opposite next time. Unless this happens to her six times .. the most unlucky girl in film history that I can think of.

Well, Sidney's father can be the killer.

I give the film a 7... just saw it with my wife. It was better than Scream 3 IMO... not better than the first two. But you know, the thing about it is, it's not like films that come back after being gone for years (Terminator 3, Indy 4) that really do the originals a disservice. It stayed pretty faithful to the original 3 and really kept it minimal. I don't know if I'd like to see a Scream 5, but if they can manage to keep it new then cool

Edit- nvm

So I realized I'm never getting around to writing out a review for this movie, but I adored it. Was definitely refreshing to see a horror movie where you care for characters to the point that you root for them over the killers. Now let's see, the points I'd like to bring up; Excuse the randomness please.

Spoiler

Sid's first encounter with Ghostface was the best one I've seen with a survivor character to a killer in a sequel hands down. And not all survivors of horror movie killers need to be killed to not continue the franchise. Tommy Jarvis and Alice Johnson were never killed by Jason or Freddy and their movies continued(not gonna say that the quality was the same for them). Same goes for Laurie Strode pre-Resurrection.

Kirby, Robbie and Judy Hicks were by far my favorite new characters.
Judy honestly reminded me a bit of Maureen McCormick's character from "Return to Horror High"; a kinda bubbly weird, awkward, but still likable cop; very Scream1 Dewey-like. And I may be crazy, but for some reason I remember her name being mentioned in Scream 1 at some point, maybe as someone Tatum or another one of the friends referred to or in a role call or something, but her name just sounded so familiar to me in the Scream series.
Robbie was definitely a fave of mine, because he was a likable character, was gay(we need more gays like this in horror movies), and if anyone is still holding out their impossible hope for Kirby, I still have my hope for Robbie to be the Scream 1 Randy.
Honestly, I thought Kirby was gonna be the new Sid based on the film club scene in the high school, where while it was a small act, she showed Sid through I-Phone what Charlie and Robbie were talking about. And then you add in the Charlie at the window scene, and it just shows more. I'm kinda finding it funny that so many here hated that she was part of this movie, yet now she is clearly one of the fan favorite characters of the new blood. I loved the mixture of Kirby's death scene between Scream 1 and Kristen Bell's kill in the opening. Referencing the first movie while still keeping it in tune with this 4th one.
I would have honestly liked to have seen more of Trevor and Kate.
I honestly thought at first Kate may have been a killer with her daughter Jill, but once she was killed, she was obviously out of the running. With Trevor, I kinda got that he seemed kind of like the dumb jock, but he looked to have a bit more to him and I honestly didn't understand what he did to Jill before she took care of him with a gun.
Olivia was an alright character, clearly the first of the friends to die as no one knew who the hell the actress was. Rebecca was a funny character as well, but she was clearly no Gale.

Jill was a great Ghostface and sadly all too true motivation for today's generation. All these complaints about height and such are ridiculous and don't deserve any attention. I tried to avoid spoilers as to who the killers were, but luckily I heard spoilers from other places as well with different killers, so it wasn't too spoilerific for me, I did figure Jill out early though. I wasn't sure about Charlie only because it was too obvious.

For the negatives;
Anthony Anderson's Bruce Willis line dying just didn't belong, at all. Wasn't funny in anyway; what would have been an honestly gruesome death, became stupid because of that line. I know a lot have complained it was dragged out after a stabbing to the head, to that I say, horror movie wounds tend to be not-realistic so this one wasn't any different, it's not like he just casually left the car with a level headed mind, I was fine with him trying to hit Ghostface and failing, only to fall to his death.
Adam Brody was awesome as victim fodder, I was happy he wasn't used much.
Dewey was just about useless and unnecessarily *****ey to Gale for no reason once the murders started. I also felt Gale was a bit underused honestly.
Aimee Teegarden was horrible as usual, so it was awesome seeing her die.
Considering how many killings have happened in Woodsboro, their hospital has the worst staff ever. I mean so did the original Halloween 2, but you at least saw Michael kill all of them.


Unlike a good amount of people, I didn't find the self-mutilation or the hospital finale to be cartoonish silly or dragged out.

As for future movies, I'll say make Randy's sister and Sidney's dad the killers; even if it's for a Stab movie. If not, kill them off already.

And where the f*** was Detective Kincaid(Dempsey)?! Or at least a mention of him?

I'm sure there's more I haven't referred to, but yea, that's all I got for now.

Tommy Jarvis ended up being the killer is part 5.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ He turned into the killer at the end, but he wasn't killer through the film.

Spoiler

The paramedic was the actual killer. The one who's son got hacked to bit with an axe.

The ending was similar to part 4.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Scream 5 needs to reveal that Dad's a ****ed up individual too. I mean just have it run in the damn family. Maureen? ****e Jill? Psychopath. Roman? Out of nowhere stupid reveal Psychopath.

But have the killers not be related to Sidney in a familial way. They can't top Jill.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed.

 

[DACrowe]

I thought think they should have just left a line about him moving out of Woodsboro. I doubt he'd want to stay, especially after all the Stab movies and his daughter's undeserved infamy grew (like the scene where people attacked her outside Olivia's house). Just a comment that he moved would have been nice. Otherwise, it's a big plot hole that she wouldn't visit her father when she finally came home after 15 years. I am intrigued to see more of Sid's own home life. Where does she live now? Does she have friends? It was 11 years after Scream 3, I'd like to think she's moved on from living like a hermit in that film.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ She didnt....I remembered something about her still living in isolation. But I could've been mistaken.

Also, a Scream 5 is a terrible idea. There is no logical place for this series to go.

You shouldn't jumpt to conclusions that quick. They can have her father be the killer or

Spoiler

perhaps bring Kirby back or maybe an obsessed fan could be involved.

 

[CelticPredator]

Tired. Lame. Boring.

I like this series. I really do. But they need to stop. They've done every single "I killed because" angle, that I feel anything past this is jumping the shark. So to speak.

The reason this series works is, it's a commentary on the horror genre. You cant really make another commentary when you already described this generation. It would not make sense, and wouldnt be the same kind of movie. Just a boring ass slasher flick.

Well, that's your opinion, not fact. The odds of a Scream 5 happening are pretty high.

There are motives left, just not as many.

 

[DACrowe]

Alison Brie said she doesn't get laid or drunk. But that doesn't mean she's a hermit. AT least, I hope not. And I'd be opposed to the father being the killer. Too obvious and a cliché after Roman and Jill. Besides, she's had enough of that kind of familial tragedy, in my opinion.

 

[CelticPredator]

No, it's a fact. I have no idea why you guys want another one.

Ghostface is not a "killer"...he's a persona. He's not the same character under that mask. So when Ghostface is back, it's someone else. Again...and again...and Sid has to do the same thing...again...and again.

This movie ended on a high note. Why tarnish it with another one?

 

[Doctor Jones]

I could agree with that. It's a perfect end if this is it.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Nothing's fact until it's proven. Persona, Killer, same thing in terms of this. It's a different person under the mask.

Who says it would be tarnished? What may have to happen is Scream 5 and 6 may have to leap beyond the past 4 films and feel even more different.

I'll admit ,Scream 4 is the perfect ending if we don't get 5 & 6. It would still feel complete, but the fact is, it's a strong possibility.

 

[CelticPredator]

But why? I dont get what needs to be said....they said everything about the horror genre...and the whole social network famous thing....

If you can tell me, what they can comment on, then maybe the movie could work...but I dont see it.

 

[Yodaman]

I agree that Scream 4 is perfect end, but there is more about this generation they could talk about in Scream 5. I mean, after the first movie was done dissecting horror cliches, the second went on to talk about the connection (or lack of) between media violence and real violence. There is something else they could tackle in a possible 5th movie, I'm just not sure what it could be yet, but I'm sure Williamson has thought about it.

There's something. Like I said, people may have to accept an "out of the elemnt" type of story here.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Sidney wasn't a hermit. She mentioned to Jill that she likes to focus on the people she cares about instead of herself. Okay. So Dewey, Gale, her dad? Is that all? Surely in 11 years she's met some new friends. I'm kinda gonna be mad when we meet these friends in 5 if it happens and they start dying.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

"Hey Sid, remember me? We became best friends back after the incident with Stab 3!".
