User Comment: MatthewKerr from United States, 27 March 2011 • SCREAM 4 (2011) I was pleasantly surprised. This was a great movie, especially for fans of the original. It makes up for the awfulness of Scream 3, and includes many very talented new actors and actresses. I was very surprised to walk into the screening theater and see a fantastic horror film. As soon as the Dimension logo appeared on screen, my heart began to race. The opening scene was brutal and hilarious, and it was great to see all of the original characters back on the screen again. I found the Wes Craven cameo, and was laughing as I spotted it out. This movie was great to watch, even though there were some things that needed to be fixed. Very minor problems though. There were some parts in the dialogue that seemed unrealistic (Ehren Kruger re-writes), but it wasn't a huge deal. Also, the ending was kinda long, but it was also very suspenseful. I would most definitely recommend this to a friend in search of a good horror movie. Summary: Very good, especially for die-hard fans. User Comment: Victoria from Australia, 13 April 2011 • I literally just came back from a midnight screening of this and I had an amazing time. Craven's managed to reclaim the franchise with a worthy instalment that's a fantastic sequel as well as a quality slasher film in its own right. Honestly speaking, there aren't too many surprises to be had in Scream 4. No matter how mordantly self-aware the movies are (and believe me, Scream 4 gets a little tediously indulgent in its postmodern cleverness), there's an inevitable predictability to some of the proceedings but anybody who's a genre-savvy horror fan will appreciate how brilliantly everything is executed. The opening sequences, for example, are one of the best parts of the movie and are a perfect reintroduction to the franchise and while the bulk of the story lags a little, it's redeemed by the ballsy ending. The acting is great with the core trio (Campbell, Arquette and Cox) delivering their usual, strong performances and the rest of the cast, however limited their respective roles, are just as entertaining. All you TV buffs there will get a kick out of seeing actors from Heroes, Veronica Mars, True Blood, Mad Men and Community share the silver screen and camp it up. More importantly, the film is hilarious and just a whole lot of ridiculous fun. Craven isn't afraid to take the story to some beautifully insane places and the ending was, to me, perfect. All in all, it's a great, irreverent slice of horror that's hilarious and true to the franchise. Highly recommended. Summary: "The first rule of remakes: don't f*** with the original". [CSW] -4- A worthy sequel not like Scream 2 and especially not likeScream 3. If you liked the original Scream you'll like Scre4m. [V5.0-A4.5] MPEG-4 AVC - No D-Box. IMDb Rating (09/26/11): 6.5/10 from 33,953 users Additional information Copyright:  2011,  Starz / Anchor Bay Features:  Scre4m doesn't feature an overload of supplements, but it does offer up most of the usual suspects, including an audio commentary, deleted and extended scenes, a gag reel, and a too-short making-of feature, all of which are, sadly, presented in standard definition. • Audio Commentary: Director Wes Craven and Stars Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts are featured, supplemented by a guest appearance from Neve Campbell on the phone. The primary trio deliver a fair commentary, discussing a little bit of this, a little bit of that. They speak on the picture's structure, scrapped and re-imagined ideas, shooting locales, and other commentary-standard elements. Neve appears around the 15-minute mark, hangs around for a good 45 minutes or so, and shares a few random thoughts along the way. This isn't the world's most engaging, insightful, or must-listen commentary, but it's a serviceable little track that die-hard fans will want to skim through. • Deleted and Extended Scenes (480p, 26:02): Alternate Opening, Extended Ending, Dewey and Gale at Home, Jill and Trevor at School (Extended), Crime Scene, Discussing the Murders, Dewey's Test, Kate Outside Olivia's House, Woodsboro Remake, Gale on the Trail, Trevor Visits Jill in the Hospital, Sidney and Gale in the Hospital, Rebecca in the Parking Lot (Alternate), Ghost Face Test Shot, Perkins Stands Guard, Kirby with the Boys, Charlie and Robbie Set Up Stabathon, Dewey Visits Gale at the Hospital (Alternate), Trevor and Jill Look for Jill's Phone, and Robbie Outside Kirby's House.
