Well, blimey. Never fear, though, friends. In lieu of our own words on Scream 4, we’ve gathered up a collection of views that have popped up over the channel, where there’s been no unfortunate incident with movie projectors and Swan Vestas. So, here’s what people are saying about Scream 4… “Updated for 2011 with ad nauseam cellphone app and webcam references – none of which are integrated into the narrative with any savvy – the unengaged and overlong fourth Scream plops its self-awareness on a new generation, who must endure a late-’90s flashback that has aged as well as the Nu metal songbook Moviehole The Hollywood Reporter “A scattering of amusing bits and clever twists can’t forestall the terminal self-deconstruction that dominates Scre4m. After an 11-year slumber, Ghostface returns to action, along with the principal creative team and key lead actors, and unsurprisingly goes into overdrive to make up for lost time. But the film very quickly, and tediously, becomes more of the same old and Craven thing-self-referential film buff gags accompanied by a clockwork killing spree that seriously reduces the population of a small town” Bloody Disgusting “Even though a few moments fell into Scary Movie territory, Scream 4 is a near-brilliant slasher sequel that stabs new life into the Ghostface mythology.” Hitfix UGO “Scream 4, from the pen of Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, offers up a (small) handful of decent jump scares as well as the occasional gross-out moment.” We’ll be heading off to our local fleapit in the morning to watch it ourselves, and will endeavour to bring you a review after that… Follow Den Of Geek on Twitter right here.
