Scream 4 Film Review

Out of all of the iconic horror franchises out there Scream is perhaps the one that alot of people still talk about to this very day. While granted that is more due to the fact that Scream's 5 and 6 where genuinely really good movies but it's also due to the fact that the development of Scream 7 was just a nightmare however alot of people seem to forget that we did get a legacy sequel in 2011 and so then join me as i review the film that brought the Scream franchise back to life with the film in question being called simply just "Scream 4" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her new book she becomes trapped in a slew of new Ghostface killings and along with Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley have to find out who this new killer is before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films plot doing a good job of catching up with the legacy characters in a way that feels natural and true to who they are as characters and yet introducing us to a whole new slew of characters as well and while this films plot could be seen as being tired as it just follows the exact same formular and general synopsis of alot of the Scream films it adds enough new thins to it that it does make it seem fresh and new again and with this films taking on horror remakes it does make sense that this film would have the general same plot as the first film only done on a much bigger budget as that ties into the fact that the killer of this film is doing a remake of the first film but with that being said this film should have a completely different plot as all it does is make this film feel pointless due to the fact that the plot of this film is strikingly similar to the plot of the first film with the plot of this film being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least

Starring in this film is Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott , David Arquette as Dewey Riley and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Also starring in this film is Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed , Emma Roberts as Jill Roberts , Anthony Anderson as Anthony Perkins , Adam Brody as Ross Hoss , Rory Culkin as Charlie Walker , Mary McDonnell as Kate Roberts , Marley Shelton as Judy Hicks , Alison Brie as Rebecca Walters , Marielle Jaffe as Olivia Morris , Nico Tortorella as Trevor Sheldon , Erik Knudsen as Robbie Mercer , Anna Paquin as Rachel , Kristen Bell as Chloe , Shenae Grimes as Trudie , Lucy Hale as Sherrie , Britt Robertson as Marnie Cooper , Aimeé Teegarden as Jenny Randall and Roger L. Jackson as The Voice Of Ghostface.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which given not only who is starring in this film but also the fact that this film is being directed by Wes Craven who really does know how to get a good performance out of his actors with it being really hard to say just who the best actor in this film is as there all just so good and while yes the original four actors Neve Campbell , David Arquette , Courteney Cox and Roger L. Jackson are all on top form in this film there acting is more then matched by the acting of the actors that are making there debut in this film as that's just how good the acting that's in this film really is with both the new and old actors turning in some truly great performances that help to make this film alot more better then what it really had any right to be with the best o the new actors being quite easily Emma Roberts who goes from innocent victim to twisted killer at the drop of a hat and she does so effortlessly and with such ease that it's really quite terrifying in it's own right with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

While it would be super easy to talk about all o the four returning characters what would be slightly more challenging is to talk about the films newer characters. As while this film new characters won't ever be as popular as say Tatum from Scream 1 or Sam and Tara from Scream's 5 and 6 this films new characters are some fairly enjoyable characters with even Kirby proving to be so popular that she would return in Scream 6 and yet here she is basically the female version of Randy as she has all of the knowledge about horror films so much so that she technically gets one of Ghostfaces questions right thus making her the first person to do so with Jill coming across as being your stereotypical teenager only for it to be revealed that there's something more darker and more sinister hiding not only within her but also Charlie as well as even tho they both have different motives they both willingly commit these crimes and while yes granted some of this films newer characters like Rebecca and to a lesser extent Judy aren't all that well developed with even Judy being played more for laughs in this film then she would be in the very next film but at the same time tho alot of this films characters just feel like lesser versions of the first films characters which granted might be the point as this film is meant to be spoofing horror remakes but that doesn't mean that you have to copy the characters of the first film as all that does is make you wish that you were watching the first film and where as the first film took the time to fully develop it's characters this film really doesn't do that.

As was mentioned earlier on in this review this film is spoofing remakes from the horror genre which is something that does make alot of sense. As these films always spoofed what was popular in the world of horror from sequels to a concluding chapter and as such since horror remakes where big in the mid to early 2010's it made sense that this film would spoof horror remakes by pretty much being a remake of the first film however what the film fails to mention is the fact that alot of those horror remakes are just flat out bad movies something that they could have done by having one of the characters bring up just how bad alot of horror remakes and then have either Charlie or Jill say that these killings are better then the ones in the first film and that's really it and heck the film really doesn't go all the way with the remake idea as it doesn't have anything that connects it back to the original film be it a familiar location or a cameo from one of the original actors something that alot of horror remakes do also do and while granted it would have been hard to work out how to get an original actor from the first film in this movie they very easily could have had something other then the school make an appearance in this movie like how fun would it have been to have Stu's house make an appearance in this movie even if it's just in the background it's something that still have connected it to the original film in a way that makes alot of sense as these characters would have known about the original killings and given that Charlie and Robbie are meant to be horror buffs with Kirby it would also make sense for them to hold their annual Stab-A-Thon in the house that the original killings took place in.

Given that these film has always built themselves as being a mystery slasher film and al of the films including Scream 3 do put alot of effort into the mystery aspect of the film. With the same thing also being true for this film as well as there's alot of thought and effort put into creating a genuinely good mystery and while Jills motives might seem dated by today's standerd back in 2011 they where oddly topical but with that being said it would have made this film alot more better if this film did give us some clues as t who the killers might be as they would then allow for repeat viewings of the film so that we could look for anything that we might have missed the first time but as the film really doesn't do that then there's no reason to go back and watch this film as your not going to find nothing new that clues in to who the killer was when if you look back at the first film they did one simple trick to try and make us guess just who the killer was and that's the fact that they had alot of the characters wear very similar boots to ones that the killer wore and even having Stu mock one of the rules of a horror movie is big clue that he's one of the killers and yet with this film there's none of that as there more focused on trying to copy what alot of remakes do instead of just doing there own thing and add in things that would make the mystery aspect alot more better then what it already as even having a character have a look just before a kill is about to take place would be more then enough to make us think that they are the killer and while yes having a person walk off screen before a kill happens works just as well it means nothing when there are no clues in the film to back it all up in the first place.

While the whole mystery of this film could have been done alot more better what also worked really for this film was the fact that one of it's killers is Sidney's cousin. This works in two ways as not only Emma Roberts an incredibly skilled actor in her own right but also because of the fact that it's something that we the audience wouldn't see coming at all as of course we'd believe that a close member of her family is a good person and yet when it's revealed that she is one of this films killers it is something that works in all of the right ways as this film has been all about not only copying what the original film did but also trying to outdo it and what better way to do that then to have a female Ghostface with even her motives making sense for someone from that time period as all she wants to do is to get famous for doing nothing much like how she's perceived Sidney got her fame and her fortune without realizing the fact that Sidney had to quite literally got though hell not one . not twice but three times just to get it and even then it wasn't something that she wanted where as Jill is alot like every teenager from around the time that this film takes place in that she must likely watches alot of reality TV shows and thinks that being famous is easy she even has a line of dialog near the end of the film that sums her character perfectly where she says that she doesn't need friends she needs fans and that one line of dialog is something that is perfect for her character is she a good character no but then again you could also argue that alot the characters in thus film aren't well done characters and while the Scream films would finally get a female Ghostface killer done right in Scream 5's Amber Freeman it's important to note that without Jill giving the makers of Scream 2022 the blueprint on how to do a female Ghostface killer then Amber might have turned out to be just another badly done character as well.

Now then his film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty minuets and forty six seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running tome for alot of these Scream movies and to this films credit it really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but where as Scream , Scream 2022 and Scream VI used their running times alot more wisely but developing there characters and locations alot more this film really doesn't do any of that with the new characters feeling like carbon copies of the original films characters and even tho Woodsboro was set up in the first film here it oddly feels lot smaller and condensed which would be fine if alot of the films new characters were interesting character but sadly there not as out of the new characters only three of them are actually memorable and they are Charlie , Jill and Kirby with the rest of them just being bland characters and while the returning characters do get off betting this is more because of the fact that we've had three other films to get to know as characters and so of course there going to come off as looking better because we've had alot more time to get to know them where as with the new characters for alot of them we only had this one film and while Judy was very vastly improved upon in the next film it still doesn't change the fact that she wasn't that well developed in this film and this is something that the makers of this film really could have done as this film was meant to be the first in a new trilogy of Scream films and yet they didn't bother to use some of this films lengthy running time to develop any of it's new characters but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a slasher that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which is something that's not really all that new as this films director and producer Wes Craven has always had some really good kills in alot of his movies and therefor it's not all that shocking that this film would not only have tons of blood and gore in it but that they would also be some really creative and inventive kills as well and while the kills in this film won't top the kills in other Scream movies that doesn't stop them from being the highlight of this movie with perhaps the best kill in this film being a tie between Olivia's kill and the final fight ill between Sidney and Jill as while Olivia's kill was alot more brutal and raw almost like it was a really violent wrestling match Jill's death scene is just as great as she does get her wish to become famous as no one outside of the hospital knows that she actually committed all of these crimes just to get her fifteen minuets of fame and while it's possible that her fame would have faded and turned into infamy the very fact that she did still end up getting exactly what she wanted just without her knowing makes her death in this film one that's really impactful and one that does stay with you long after the film has finished as that's just how good not only her kill but what alot of this films kills really are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst this film is quite easily a return to form after the terrible film that was Scream 3 this is still not the franchise at it's best either. As while it does have all of the iconography there it feels like the makers of this film forgot what it was that made the Scream films work in the first place with it being clear that some fresh blood was needed to keep this franchise alive and well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very revie and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scream fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Scream fandom wiki page simply because the official Scream fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official Scream fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Scream fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Scream 3 Film Review

The Scream franchise is one that's seen a resurgence in popularity over the last few years with there being really good sequels and a seventh one starting filming next year. However people do infact seem to forget that there was a dark time in the Scream franchises ling history one which indeed started with the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today and so then join me as I review the film that gave Courteney Cox the worst haircut in the franchises history with the film in question being called simply just "Scream 3" enjoy.

The plot of this film i when the cast of the fictional Stab 3 start being killed off in the order that there killed of in the movie it's up to Gale , Dewey and Sidney to find out who this latest killer is and put a wrap on their movie once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time the plot of this film wasn't all that good as it's quite clear as day that the Scream formular was starting to wear a bit thin at this point as the film was doing nothing new with the franchise and with it's characters either but at the same time tho when a formular that's this good works there's really no need to change it as it will always work all you need to is find ways to keep it fresh , unique and different and that's something that this films plot both does and doesn't do as by shifting the setting to Hollywood it does allow the plot of the film to really make a dig at horror movies and how they were and still are looked at in the eyes of many people but at the same time tho by shifting the setting to Hollywood the plot losses it's small town nature that was all over the first two films with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott , David Arquette as Dewey Riley and Courteney Cox Arquette as Gale Weathers. Also starring in this film is Patrick Dempsey as Mark Kincaid , Scott Foley as Roman Bridger , Lance Henriksen as John Milton , Matt Keeslar as Tom Prinze , Jenny McCarthy as Sarah Darling , Emily Mortimer as Angelina Tyler , Parker Posey as Jennifer Jolie , Deon Richmond as Tyson Fox , Liev Schreiber as Cotton Weary , Kelly Rutherford as Christine Hamilton , Patrick Warburton as Steven Stone , Lynn McRee as Maureen Prescott , Josh Pais as Wallace , Heather Matarazzo as Martha Meeks , Jamie Kennedy as Randy Meeks , Jason Mewes as Jay , Kevin Smith as Silent Bob , Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher as Bianca Burnette and Roger L. Jackson as The Voice Of Ghostface.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films actors really turning in some really good performances in this very film which for those actors that are returning actors does make alot of sense as they would know how best to perform there character in any given situation and how there character would act in any given situation but the same thing is also true for the films newer actors as well as they all more then really hold up their own when it comes to acting against the films franchise stars with this films acting not only really being helped by the fact that this actors are a bunch of really good actors in their right but it's also due to the fact that this films director Wes Craven proving to be a director that really does know how to get a really good performance out of his actors even if the script that he's given to work with really isn't all that good and up to snuff with the acting that's in this very film not really being helped by the fact that this films script really isn't all that good as it doesn't really give this films anything to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place and that really is something that really does help to lower down the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

One of the biggest things about watching any Scream film is seeing which celebrity gets killed off in the films cold open. With this films big celebrity killing being one of the weakest ones in the series just because of the fact that actor Liev Schreiber wasn't really that well known outside of starring in the Scream films where as with both Drew Barrymore and Jada Pinkett Smith were at the very least somewhat more well known when they did the first and second Scream film respectively but the one thing that this films big opening kill does have going for it is the fact that we audience have had two films to really get to know Cotton as a character and as a result of that is the fact that having him be the one that gets killed does work in that regard and is still shocking to see because of the fact that we've had alot of time to really get to know him as a character but at the same time tho these films are known for having a major name be the one that gets killed of and that's something that Liev Schreiber just wasn't at that time and as a result of that is the fact that it would have been better if the film got someone like Johnny Depp who not only was a big make at the time but had worked with Wes Craven in the past or someone who is a bigger name then Liev Schreiber be the one that gets killed off really would have worked a whole lot better.

While this film does have the one killer it was originally going to follow the tradition set by the previous films and have two killers. With it being revelled that Angelina Tyler was infact secretly working with Roman and was going to be an old classmate of Sidney's from when she was in high school but due to the columbine shooting that got scrapped right away but it is something that does leave a plot hole in the movie as now Roman apparently has the ability the teleport all over the house it was also rumoured that Detective Wallace was also going to be one the killers at one point as well but with Angelina it was going to be explained some of her odd behaviour during the film and it was going to explain why her body isn't seen by anyone in the house after she gets killed as she would have been of healing herself up and getting rid for the next kill this is also something that would also explain why Tyson couldn't find her when they both went into the bedroom as she would have been getting changed into the Ghostface costume something that Sidney openly caught her doing earlier on in the film but because of the fact that it was removed from the script she now comes across as acting odd just for the sake of acting odd it also thanks to the columbine shooting that Matthew Lillard got cut from the script as it was going to be revelled that Stu had survived the first film was either the one or one of the killers in this film as well.

This film is filled to the brim with cameos some of which are fun to see like Carrie Fisher showing up as a character who looks like Carrie Fisher is a good and funny idea. However we also have the Jay And Silent Bob cameo which does now officially place in the View Askewniverse which is a cinematic universe in which the Jay and Silent Bob characters appear in every single film with there inclusion in this film being very distracting due to the fact that they are some very well known characters and when you add in the fact that in there movie Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back we see the fictional filming of Scream 4 it does make you wonder why they bothered to include those characters in this film as there both real people and now not real people which makes it very confusing with there cameo in this film being the worst one as it feels like the film is stopping the plot to make room for them where as with all of the other cameos in this film they at least contribute something no matter how small it is to the actual plot of the film with Carrie Fisher's character being the one that gives Gale the picture of Sidney's mom from when she tried to make it as a film star and Roger Corman's character being the one to tell Roman that his film is in trouble due to the events of the film where as with Jay And Silent Bon they add nothing to the plot of the film and are only there because they were popular back when this film was being released and that's really it.

As for the new characters in this film they are the ones that really do suffer from this films bad script as all of them are written as one dimensional characters. With there not really being anything that makes them stand out from the previous supporting characters in the previous films which might be the point as this is something that the film does comment on with Tyson's Stab 3 character being called Ricky as they called of Randy in the previous film but at the same time just because you comment on something doesn't give you the right to do the very thing that your criticizing the fictional film for doing as Jennifer is quite literally a more lazy version of Gale who even has her own version of Dewey in Steven Stone and even Angelina could be seen as being a more odd version of Sidney and all this does is make us the audience forget about the newer character as all they do is make you remember of the main characters from the previous two films who do come off really well but this is due to the fact that there personalities were all really set in stone in the previous two films with the newly created characters having nothing to them that makes them standout and that makes you want to see them make it out of the film with this not really being helped by the fact that alot of this films newer characters are also really forgettable as well with the two exceptions for this being Jennifer and  Mark Kincaid and that's really it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty six minuets and thirty three seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running tie for these films to have and to this films credit this film really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that really large amount of running time but at the same time none of this films running time is spent of giving us clues so that we can actually work out who the killer is something that the previous two films did really well nor is spent in developing it's characters t the point where you want to see them come out of the film alive with the film instead spending alot of time in showing us how a film is made and by giving us some backstory Maureen Prescott and while we don;t need to see how a film is made and the politics that are involved in the day to day making of a film the stuff surrounding Maureen's backstory is the stuff that really should have been in the film with the stuff showing us how a film is made being either cut down to the point where the film can include clues as to who the killer of this film is or cut out all together as it is some really pointless stuff that adds nothing to the overall plot of the film and thus feels alot like padding when the film really doesn't need padding out at all but I really will admit that this film really does gave some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in actually not that bad. However at the same time tho the kills that are in this film aren't that good either as the film did have to toned alot thanks to columbine shooting but at the same time tho alot of this films kills just aren't that creative to look at with alot of them just coming across as being lame and boring to watch but when the film does indeed to a really good kill like for example Sarah's kill which is a really tense scene to watch then it is a really good kill with the same thing also being said for Cotton's kill at the start of the film his kill being all the more impactful because of the fact that we've had two films to get to know him as a characters but the very fact that this films has more bad kills then it does good kills really tell you that the makers of this film should have come up with some really fun , fresh and creative to kills to send this franchise of on a high note as this film was intended to be the final film in the franchise and yet it's clear as day that next to no effort was out into giving the films that kind of kills that it really should have had and that is something that really does let this film down in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it's not hard to see why this film is the worst film in the franchise as it's clear to see that none of the key creative people involved with making this film new how to make the films script come across as being passable at best with this film being bad but bad in an entertaining kind of way as well but this film is still a really bad film and a really Scream film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i;'ve talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scream fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Scream fandom wiki page really simply because the official Scream fandom wiki page actually really has images from this film really are up and on the official Scream fandom wiki page and really plus pretty much all of the images that I personally found on the official Scream fandom wiki page really were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we really do end this review as we really always do with really our one and really true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Scream 1996 Film Review

 

In the nineties the slasher genre was pretty much dead after seeing it's heyday back the eighties when a lot of slasher films where being made yearly. Yet it's thanks to the film that i'm about to review for all you today that the slasher genre not only survive the nineties but was brought back to life really by actually giving us good characters that we like and by giving us a good plot and so the join me as I review the film that introduced us to Ghostface with the film in question being called simply just "Scream" enjoy.

The plot of the film is on the one year anniversary of her mothers death teenager Sidney Prescott finds herself and other teenagers being targeted by a mysterious killer. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this film plot not only really holding up really well all of these years later with the films plot also being just as fresh and just as new and different as it was back in 1996 with this films plot being just as entertaining and just as engaging as it was back in 1996 as well with the plot of the film still being one of the best plots in nineties horror film history in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is David Arquette as Dewey Riley , Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Also starring in this film is Rose McGowan as Tatum Riley , Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher , Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis , Jamie Kennedy as Randy Meeks , W. Earl Brown as Kenny , Joseph Whipp as Burke , Liev Schreiber as Cotton Weary , Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker , Henry Winkler as Principal Arthur Himbry and Roger L. Jackson as The Voice Of Ghostface.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films cast really nailing down there characters perfectly and giving us some truly iconic characters with all of this films actors being perfectly cast so well in fact that it's now hard to imagine anyone else playing these characters as all of this films characters just fit there characters perfectly so much so that they basically just are those characters with the acting in this film really being helped by the fact that not only is the film directed by the late and great Wes Craven who knows how to get a good performance out of his cast but also due to the fact that the films script is just so good that all the cast have to do is just say lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

To many people the most iconic side character in this film is Randy and that's fair enough however a case could be argued for Tatum being a truly iconic character in this film as well as Randy. With the character having alot of the humor that the films are really known for on top of that her lines are instantly quotable and while her death scene could have been avoided as she was more then halfway out of that cat flap before she died anyway it doesn't take away from the fact that her death was truly brutal and while yes Randy does give us the rules for not only this film but for the next two films it's Tatum that manages to keep Sidney grounded when everything else is spiraling out of control but I will admit that her character could have been better as she does come across as being the stereotypical snarky best friend type of character and really nothing more then that she is still a rather fun and entertaining character.  

As a mystery this film does really well in telling it's actual mystery as the film does give you very subtle clues. Alot of which you only notice upon repeat viewings of the film like the fact that when Stu is about to say that will give away that he and Billy are the killers Billy will just shut him down right there and then something that he wouldn't do if they weren't the killers and on top of that is the fact that the very idea of just straight up hinting that Billy is the killer all throughout the film almost to the point where we the audience start to believe that he's not the killer was a smart move as it then gives us a reason to check the film out again to see if there's something that we missed the first time around but going back to the clues the fact that alot of the people apart from Sidney and a few others are seen wearing the exact same footwear as Ghostface does make it seem like anybody could be the killer and the fact that Billy and Stu do spend alot of time together in this film is a great subtle way to show us that there this films killers.

There's one thing that's slightly confusing when we get to this films climax tho and that's the fact that when see Billy get "killed" there's no way to see how he could applied the blood to himself. As don't forget we've just seen him completely shirtless which means that he couldn't have hidden what he needed to hide in order to pull of this effect off as one of the intended victims would have been right there in the room with him thus she would have known that Billy was at the very least the killer behind these killings this is something that could have been fixed with just one quick shot showing how Billy and Stu managed to hide the make up that they quite clearly planned to use and yet because they don't do it it makes all the more confusing when it comes to the final film and that one very quick shot could have fixed that and it would have gone along way to showing us that these two kids really did think of everything and of every single part of this plan.

As great as this film is there are some things that I really didn't like about the film like the fact that alot of the side characters felt rather undercooked which does make sense as there not the main characters but at the same time it does make it hard for us the audience to make any of connection to them. The other thing that I didn't like about this film is the fact that it really doesn't take advantage of the fact that anybody could be a suspect like how cool would it be if instead of capturing Billy not long after the first kill, of the film we see alot more people being blamed for the killing whilst none of them actually are the killer and we get to see the fact that some people could be blaming others for either petty revenge or just to prank there friends all the meanwhile the real killers are still free this is something that would have taken full advantage of the fact that anybody could be the killer and it would make us the audience not thing that Billy and Stu are the killers thus making there big reveal near the end of the film all the more surprising and shocking at the exact same time.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember what ever this films grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and forty six minuets. Which was a tad bit on the  long side for this film to have but at the same time there's not really anything left in this film that you can really cut out of the film without seriously harming the plot of the film as the film really does have more then enough there interms of plot to cover that large of running time and cutting anything from the film would mean that clues to working out who the killer or even killers are in this film which would make the big reveal at the ed of the film not really make sense in the slightest but i will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As this films kills are all just stabbings which would normally be a huge downside for me as that can get boring after a while but here it does oddly make sense as this films killers are just teenagers who are using whatever they can get a hold of to commit there crimes which means that it does make sense that alot of there kills would be stabbings and while we do get some different kills in this film the overall majority of this films kills are stabbings with all of this films kills looking really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall even after all these years this film is still so good and is quite easily a must watch for not only any horror fan worth there salt but also for any slasher fan worth there salt as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and a swell as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scream fandom wiki page , Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Scream fandom wiki page simply because the official Scream fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on the official Scream fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Scream fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
