++ This isn't a comedy, it's a horror film. ++
People live, people die and you'd better start running.
The fourth installation of the horror franchise, Scream 4 hits the cinemas the previous weekend, but do expect new twists for new rules come with a new decade. Despite being in a series of movies, Scream 4 is perfect as a stand-alone movie, for I didn't watch the previous ones.
Fans rave about this movie, I read reviews about how the "Scream 2 is average and Scream 3 is a disaster, and this makes up for the awefulness", again I didn't watch those 2, so I wouldn't comment as much, but more of Scream 4, as an individual (movie).
It sucks.
Some scenes were enough to make you jump off your seat, but most of the film time it is pure "lame". The storyline lacked real conviction, character development was so-so, it felt like some were just included as fillers, or as potential candidates as the Ghostface, or as the brutally murdered victims. The gore was overused - I don't see how killing a single person, would result in a room, literally painted with blood. There are more F-Bombs than I could count and *mild spoiler alert* the choice of killers are ridiculous and unbelievable. The whole movie seems like a eff-ed up High School Musical horror version, which fails to find a good balance between humour and horror, instead mixing and creating one huge, miserable mess.
The title of this post was cited by the killer aka "Ghostface", but truly, this movie is utterly terrible, it is better well-off as a comedy. I would rather watch Justin Bieber's movie.
