Just when you thought it was safe to go home...

Scream 4 (2011)

After a 10 year break director Wes Craven returns with cast members Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox along with new comers Emma Roberts and Hayden Penettiere. As Sidney Prescott returns to her home town a new killing spree begins that includes a new generation.

This film does what previous entries in the series have done and shines a light on current genre trends but it does feel a little like it has to try a bit too hard to do so. Mixing returning cast with a new generation does grate a little and the film does seem a little long. What the film does well is that you don't have to have seen all the previous films for this one to make sense, but having seen the first would probably help.

3/5
