Scream 4
Hardcore fan of Scream 4 till I die, I can’t repeat it enough but this is the most meaningful film of the franchise after the original.
Wes Craven’s Classic is untouchable but this one comes right after in matter of what it has to say. The metatextuality of the franchise peaked with Scream 4, it’s a generational commentary directly rooted in horror history and pop culture but also deeply related to how the youths consume media.
The way they discuss remakes, the way this is way more violent, directly mimicking the gore obsession of the 2000s is just so smart. The motive works perfectly, echoing on an era that is even more relatable nowadays. Emma Roberts is one of the best Ghostface of the franchise, Jill Roberts is the heroine of the film, she’s the only Ghostface that is approached differently, literally filmed like a hero and that is so unique. Kirby’s phone call remains brilliant.
Love it love it.
