Scream 4

Although it is a slight improvement over the terrible Scream 3, the fourth installment in Wes Craven’s oh-so-clever horror series is still a drag. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) returns home on the anniversary of the Woodsboro murders for what winds up being another Scooby-Doo-like mystery. This is a routine horror slog that brings nothing new to the party, and by the time the killer is revealed, the film is just laughable. There is lots of stabbing, lots of puking blood, and very little to involve your mind. This one did not do well at the box office during the opening weekend, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last time we have to watch one of these things.
