Scream 1,2,3,4

Wes Craven, another of my favorite horror directors. Scream was ingenious. It was so clever - the whole movie the main characters are going through the keys to surviving a horror movie. For example, when you hear a noise; don't go see what it is especially not alone! The killers are unexpected - unless you have already heard because it was released in 1996. Campbell (The Craft) did an excellent job. Cox (Friends) and Arquette (Never Been Kissed) added some of the comic relief. Barrymore (Never Been Kissed) has a cameo which really set up the movie well. It was an original beginning - the audience is stuck to their seats from the first second. Ulrich (The Craft) was popular at the time, as was Lillard (She's All That). McGowan (Charmed) has a small part in this, too. All in all, I say: SEE IT - my goodness but you are behind the times when it comes to horror.

IMDB writes, "Two years after the events of the first film, a new psychopath dons the "Ghost face" costume and a new string of murders begin." Our main character is still being tormented. Schreiber (Salt), Graham (Twin Peaks), and Smith (Tales From the Crypt), and Epps (Juice) join the caste. But will they last? Who will live by the end of this slasher? Characters run through the rules that apply to sequels. Mainly, there are few rules. All in all, I say: SEE IT 0 it was just as good as the first, although, no longer as original. Also, filmed partly in Georgia!
So, the murder from Scream has been made into a movie based on the reporter's book. Now none of our main characters are safe and they are all targets because they are famous. IMDb writes, "Ghostface pays Sidney and her friends a third visit while they visit the set of "Stab 3", the third movie based upon the Woodsboro murders." Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy), Foley (Scandal), and Henriksen (Alien) join the cast. Who will survive - a main character has to go - right? All in all, I say: SEE IT if you liked the second. If not, then just stop. The first can stand alone just fine.

The main characters are getting better and better at surviving and fighting. They aren't as scared as they use to be because they realize things like this are going to keep happened. IMDb writes, "Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer." Paquin (True Blood), Bell (Veronica Mars), Roberts (Nancy Drew), and Panettiere (Heroes) are added to the cast. There have to be some people to kill, right? All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you feel like the circle isn't complete until you finish a series.
