User Review

I’ve been looking forward to this movie ever since the studio executives gave it the green light. And today, I took watching it very seriously: a late-night screening, a friend by my side, a huge bucket of popcorn, and, of course, the right mindset.

Wes Craven obviously realized right away that he’d said more than he intended to across the three installments, that he simply wouldn’t be able to create a fully realized atmosphere, so he decided to have some fun by concocting a charming cocktail made up of several ingredients. First, there’s a collection of tropes and references to his previous works. Which is actually fitting and doesn’t spoil the experience at all—after all, he “invented” many of these techniques himself. Second, there’s the mockery of everything and everyone, mainly the slasher genre. A movie-within-a-movie, Robert Rodriguez’s name as director of the first *Knife Attack*, and so on. All of this suggests that the film was made exclusively for die-hard fans of the genre and the original trilogy. After all, ten years have passed since the release of the third ‘Scream,’ and the teenagers of that time are now fully-formed men and women whom you’re unlikely to scare anymore, but who might want to ‘revisit the old days,’ munch on popcorn, smile, and reminisce about their youth.

I was pleased that, despite the new generation, the spotlight was still left on the actors of the old guard. Of course, Sidney, Dewey, and Gale’s indestructibility goes beyond all limits, but it doesn’t bother me at all. Although they’re all in great shape, you realize that many years have passed, and it feels like you’re meeting old friends.

What else can I say: the young cast isn’t bad, though that was what I feared most after watching *Take My Soul*, since they were so mediocre in that film. Julia Roberts’ niece is cute, has potential, and is quite attractive. The narrative follows a well-trodden path, never really dragging, periodically shifting in tone and direction. The resolution isn’t bad, but it’s a bit predictable, and the killer’s motives are rather simplistic.

I won’t recommend this movie because it’s an acquired taste. Wes Craven makes that clear from the very first frames. The suspense moments are a bit shallow, though perhaps I’ve seen too many of them already—it’s hard to surprise me. The film is far from perfect, but it’s above average; for the “many years later” category, it’s more than passable. Most likely, it’s positioned simply as a reunion with old friends: Sidney, Dewey, and Gale. My rating: positive, with the comment: entertaining.
