Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her new memoir and a new series of murders start up in her honor as the police begin to suspect someone is trying to remake the events of the original murder spree.
Scream 4 lacks the suspenseful bite of the first two films and isn't funny enough to work as a camp comedy/live action Scooby Doo episode like the third film which leaves it in a strange place, tonally. Performances are mostly strong with Campbell, Cox, and Arquette as charming as ever and Roberts sinking her teeth into her character and not letting go. The film's attempts at being clever don't feel as sharp as the previous films, but there are a few inspired moments.
