The fourth "Scream" was looking forward to many: and fans of the franchise, hoping to get the next portion of the drive, and critics who posted the nines and third, and eager for the feast to continue to please them both was Cravino had to create something out of the ordinary.
And Wes has created. How well he succeeded is debatable, to solve it will be long after the premiere, there's a lot of heated debate about this, arguments "for" and "against" attempts to prove that the latest "Scream" is not inferior to the first.
However, to give or not to give the first he simply can't - it's different. And well, that other one, the first and classic, already hopelessly out of date. What, incidentally, is mentioned in the film. However, first things first.
The plot will again unfold around a group of teenagers and a mysterious killer in a mask (which is after the "scary movie" is pretty hard to watch without a smile, that the creators of the film - well done! - took into account, but more on that later). In addition to teenagers, some very faceless and identical, the film will be present and familiar faces: Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) and journalist Gail (Courtney Cox). Why have entered the last two, it is not entirely clear. Apparently, because of the recognizable faces and the actors are good in General - to dilute the facelessness mass obscure adolescents.
Sidney arrives in his native town of Woodsboro with his new bestseller "From the darkness". Immediately after her arrival in the city appears psychopath in the mask, cutting people with a knife right and left. Immediately activates Gail, anything which, strictly speaking, does not, except as yells, "I know what to do, I am a journalist until gets stabbed in the shoulder and is in the hospital. And, of course, Dewey, which makes a lot of... pointless desperately frame, for example, or turn on the siren with flashing lights, riding on the place where found another corpse.
In fact, from the very beginning, the viewer is vaguely aware that if anyone will be able to catch the killer, only Sidney. And after she famously bounces from him on the stairs and turns to flee, then there is no guesswork becomes clear again will survive and win. But who is the killer, it is not clear until the very moment when the killer decides to reveal himself, that certainly is better than the rest of the film.
Second, in General the last, but very oily its advantage may be called a Comedy element in the "Scream 4" so much that the genre of film you want to define as a "black Comedy". Screenwriter Kevin Williamson for a couple with the Director begin to mock wastemobile standards from the very beginning of the picture, showing the audience a multilayer film horror in a horror movie, created seem by all the canons of the genre, but calling laughter.
After the movie starts really (if you write with a times it happens, it can ruin the whole buzz of layering, because it is a mystery), he continues to stay in the tone that was set by this original prologue. The creators of "Scream 4" frankly sebotsa over horror movies in General, the canons of the genre, satunini stamps, illogical actions of the heroes and all the rest.
In this case, all that is spoken in the film by the mouths of the heroes immediately by them and shows. That looks pretty dumb, if you try to watch a movie seriously, but it is quite funny, if you treat this as a global setting. However, it seems that as such, the film and thought. In addition to the irony in the course of the picture will encounter references to other horror movies and " trash": "Saw", "Halloween" and other representatives of the classics, and respectful (as it seemed) quoting frankly hilarious "Zombie by the name of Sean".
By the way, with the latest in "Scream 4" quite a lot in common: both - Comedy, both in one and in another is quite interesting and often unpredictable plot, both films are quite atmospheric. The only thing that distinguishes "Sean" from "Scream 4", "Sean" funny all the time, "Cry" moments. During the film often want to smile, but rarely laugh.
Despite the fact that the genre of black Comedy gives creators the opportunity to hit the jackpot, Craven failed. The idea was good, but the execution... not that pumped up, just fell short. Apparently, too Wes was tied to the franchise, could not completely caricatural" heroes, to spit on the genre of Thriller and create a real parody.
The result is something that is already not terrible, but still not funny. Almost almost black Comedy, in which terribly serious Sidney Prescott is trying to deal with a maniac until he cuts faceless teenagers, and the audience laughs at the stupidity and jokes, to distinguish which here is not possible.
