Halloween Movie Month [Scream 4]

So I felt like watching Scream 4. Mostly cause Scream spurred me into it. They're two of my favorite "modern" horror flicks. I think it's the self awareness, Ghostface itself, the quick/sudden kills and the humor and writing. 10 years later Sidney has moved on from all the Ghostface shenanigans and is ending a book tour for her bestseller about the original Woodsboro massacre. Of all places, it ends in Woodboro. But like fifteen years ago this murder cycle reboots, like in the Stab series, with the death of two high-school girls. Now a copycat, or perhaps a person who wants to tribute the anniversary, is on the loose and terrorizing Woodsboro again. Now, save for THE VERY LAST LIKE 3 MINUTES OF THIS MOVIE (my only gripe about this), this was epic to me. The kills were "updated" after a huge bloody horror movie generation happened. It doesn't take away from the film with senseless blood and gore either. There is a ton of blood, huge amounts compared to the first three, but kills work quite well. Did I mention I love the kills? Cause I do. The writing and twist at the "before-end" had me gasping. The "new rules" for horror movies were great and the dialogue throughout were very interesting. At least to me. Also, with most Wes Craven films the humor is subtle, punny, and never fails to make me smile or laugh. The abundance of awesome actresses in this (Alison Brie, Hayden Panettire, Emma Roberts, Courteny Cox, Neve Campbell, Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin) made this a very eye-candy movie to boot. All in all I skipped reviewing 2 and 3 cause I thought they weren't as good as 1 and 4. If you want the full Scream experience of course watch the whole series. I still love it as a whole, but I wanted to do the first and the last cause they're my two favorites and in my humble opinion the two best. "What's your favorite scary movie?"
