My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Scream 4 (2011)

Why make another Scream film?  The trilogy is already fine.  Yet to my surprise Wes Craven and crew give us a good reason: play off the remake, reboot trend affecting Hollywood.  The result is a thriller/comedy that's as effective as the originals.   The cameos are fun, the suspense high and the mystery constantly ambiguous.   It was a joy to see the primary cast return and the new additions seem to fit just right.  Not really a horror film (a trend this month for sure) but an exciting horror-movie themed entertainment.  Grade: B+.
