Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) comes face to face with her greatest fear after returning home to Woodsboro and getting caught in the center of another bloodbath in this sequel from director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson. Touring the country in promotion of her new self-help book, Sidney arrives in Woodsboro and quickly reconnects with her old friend Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette), who has recently gotten married to Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox). Though a much-welcomed family reunion with her aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell) and cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) goes a long way in helping Sidney lay her tragic past to rest, old fears come back with a vengeance when Ghostface reappears on a murderous mission to make up for lost time.
The Good
"A worthy sequel certain to scare the bejesus out of Scream franchise fans with a strong stomach for gratuitous gore."
"Bright, bloody and enjoyable, and completely worth seeing when you stand back and look at what the filmmakers have done to subvert a beloved but played-out genre."
The Bad
"Despite all the claims to reinvention throughout the film there is little of it actively on display. Scream 4 really is just more of the same ... which in a sense makes it the perfect, or at least a representative, horror sequel."
"It is better than Scream 3, but so are most things... I, personally, cannot recall the last time a film insisted on its own pointlessness with quite this much ferocity."
