Trivia

For the first time in the series, a CGI-added knife was used because Wes Craven wanted to avoid using prop knives that are rubber, cardboard and collapsible.

User Reviews

Best one since the first.

Now, I went into this movie very excited. I am a very big Scream fan and was expecting to be shocked and surprised. I was. Scream 4 is quite different to the other Scream movies, but of course, 'new decade new rules', right? I don't want to give away any of the plot, murders or of course the killer because this is definitely a movie which you have to see to believe. What I can say is that the reveal of the killer in this movie was personally the most shocking since the first one. The scenes involving the stabbings are a lot more graphic and long than the other movies which I think that definitely adds to it, but there is also plenty of story and character development which makes this movie non gore-based. Prepare to guess, hide but most of all SCREAM.
