The general rule of thumb in any form of art is if one product is lackluster, than the one following it should at least be a little better. Thankfully Scream 4 improved because if not, we'd be talking about the good ole days of Scream & Scream 2. After taking a ten year break, the filmmakers gave themselves a whole new decade of different horror films to satirize. Specifically reboots & remakes. 

Grabbing the writer of the first two Screams and dumping the writer of Scream 3 (although he came on to do slight rewrites), Scream 4 (or Scre4m) was poised to be much better than its predecessor. And boy it was; Scream 4 successfully spoofed horror movie reboots and remakes, while delivering fans with more humor and arguably the best cast in the series. And unlike Scream 3, Its twist is much better. Full review below:
