Scream 4

New decade. New rules.

Hollywood remakes the same story again. With a cast stuffed full of pretty young things just waiting to expire, we pick up the storyline ten years after the events of Scream 3. Sidney returns home to promote her book about the murders, and immediately dead bodies start turning up. The journalist who documented and profited from the original crimes is thrilled, especially now that her husband is chief of police. Meanwhile Sidney's young niece and her friends take it upon themselves to track down the killer. Yes, teens can solve anything... if they manage to stay alive long enough ...

108 minutes.
No persons under 16 (Language, Violence).
Detective/Mystery, Horror, Thriller.

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

I just don't get the point of these movies.
