Review of Scream 4

Pleasant surprise coming by from this. Scream 4 is the continuation of the franchise that best know how to relate to the original film through a script that manages to be creative, intelligent and fun most of the time. The opening sequence can now rival the great original film by making a joke of metalanguage in creative ways, something that the applicant in the franchise. Here the screenwriter Kevin Williamson can (de)construct a remake with new characters while giving prominence to the old characters, can play with the cliches of the genre, but can be stressful enough to function as suspense. In the collective ideas, those who work are more numerous than those who don't work so well (the character of the young man does not take off, after the sequence set in movie marathon, the film loses a bit of pace, an offer of passage in the hospital parking lot). But it's always interesting to see how the script can do can invent and reinvent themselves by recycling old ideas. Some dialogues are exquisite. The cast is good general, but the more experienced are more reliable choices. Relying once again with Wes Craven who knows very well what it does, Scream 4 works as both an homage, a parody and a reinvention of its proposal.
