Critics Consensus

The franchise is showing its age, but Scream 4 is undeniably an improvement over its predecessor, with just enough meta humor and clever kills.

Its gimmicks haven't grown up, although its older fan base has.

3.5/4

[They've] taken the ideas of the first film and twisted them in on themselves, using the technological advances of the last decade and society's celebrity-obsessed culture to give the series an invigorating kick.

There is such a thing as too much meta and, contrary to popular belief, irony is not always good for the bloodshed.

Overall, the film isn’t as strong as the prior three entries and its commentary is not as sharp, but, in its attempt to do something different, it nevertheless feels exciting and unpredictable in a way that we haven’t felt since "2" (1997).

While not without its flaws and predictable reveals, this is the freshest the Scream franchise has felt since the original movie.

the best ghostface! The only flaws in this movie were Jill's death and the bad opening; otherwise, the movie is simply the best.

Filme é muito bem injustiçado. As cenas de tesão são todas bem diferentes e legais, o filme é muito atual quase como uma previsão, tem os personagens antigos e tem novos legais, a meta linguagem e sátira sobre remakes de filmes de terror é incrível porque está atrelada ao roteiro, a cena inicial é muito legal, a revelação e motivação é incrível. Para mim o único ponto negativo no filme que tem uns personagens que são mal ultilizados como a polícial Jude e o Trevor poderiam ser melhor ultilizados. Mas isso não diminui tanto o filme e para mim a nota é 8,5 tão bom quando o primeiro. E para mim tem pessoas que diminuem muito o filme por coisas bobas que mal atrapalham a experiência.

This is one of the absolute worst movies I have seen I strongly hate this movie with a passion my biggest problem with it is the characters all of them are forgettable and this movie’s ghost face is just borderline forgettable like i genuinely can’t remember there motives 1/10
