This one is right up there with the original for me. Clever, funny, memorable dialogue and several twists and turns I didn’t see coming despite knowing who one of the killers would be.

So excited for tomorrow and the moment when I realize how greatly my memory failed me.

I skipped out on this one at the time, since it looked so much like a pitiful name recognition cash grab after the rut Craven had sunk into after the third one. I finally checked it out when the fifth movie was coming out, and now I really regret going that long without it, because it now stands as my pick for the best of the series. Of course, the biggest asset it has is that Kevin Williamson is back doing the script, and I like to think he got at least some of the ideas he was forced to scrap for 2 and 3 into here. This was the period where I started really getting into horror, and I distinctly remember how disheartening it was that all the movies in the genre currently coming out were either simplistic torture porn or inferior remakes of the classics, so seeing an old school master like Wes Craven taking the piss out of that was fantastic (and we probably don't want to know how many takes Hayden Panettiere needed to rattle off every single horror remake of the past few years like that, but the result is well worth it). He even manages to top the iconic opening sequence of the first film with the nested Stab fakeouts, knowing full well we'd be expecting the first by now, so he just keeps the gag going until you legit have no idea when you're finally watching the real movie (and Aimee Teegarden, pretty beloved at the time for Friday Night Lights, absolutely makes a great substitute for Drew Barrymore). Sadly, it seems a lot more people thought the same way I inititally did, because the movie bombed hard and Williamson and Craven's hopes for doing more went down the drain, and ultimately Craven didn't make a single other movie before his death four years later. He died of a brain tumor, so that was all the time he was going to get no matter what, but seeing just one more would have really been something.

I love Scream 4. And you could easily skip Scream 3 and go from Scream 2 to 4 (which I generally do) and not miss a beat. Nothing that happens in 3 has any real bearing on the rest of the film series.

Randy's sister makes an appearance in 5, and Sidney is mentioned as being married to Kincaid, but you still don't have to see the movie for either of those to make sense.

Aww, I had no idea the film bombed. It's a wonder that any more were ever greenly afterwards, even if it was many years later. It might be a shame we never got any Wes Craven follow ups to this film specifically, but who knows what would have happened if we had. How one feels about may be completely dependent on how they feel about what's happened since.
