Sidney Prescott, now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour.
Unfortunately, Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger. New decade.
Now, kids just want to be famous for doing nothing because so many of them have been able to do just that. So many of the juiciest bits probably got a little forgotten or under-analyzed. She decides teaming up with Charlie for a series of murders resembling the murders from the first film would do just that. The hero.
The Sidney. Scream 4 takes things up a notch after that. A layered, devious little ending that stands apart not just from many mainstream film endings, but horror film endings especially. Scream 4 did OK at the box office but was not nearly the hit of the first three. It all but killed the franchise theatrically though it did find life again on TV partially because, in the 10 years between movies, all kinds of unattainable expectations were built.
It was difficult, at least for me personally, to judge Scream 4 both just on its own and as a part of the larger franchise. The point was to subvert the horror genre by making them a whodunit as well as use tropes from other horror films against the audience— Scream 4 does all of that beautifully. She mirrors her "death pose" exactly. Dewey, Judy and the rest of the police arrive shortly after and stumble upon the carnage.
At the hospital, Jill is hailed as a hero and she jokingly says that she and Gale could write a book together due to their matching shoulder wounds. Dewey tells Jill that she might not be the sole survivor: Sidney is in the I.
After Dewey leaves, Jill sneaks out of her room and goes to the I. U determined to kill Sidney. Jill proceeds to attack Sidney as she awakens, choking her and throwing her against the glass door of a nearby medicine cabinet. Dewey and Gale quickly realize the truth when they remember that Dewey never told Jill about Gale's attack, or about her wounds.
Dewey rushes off to find Sidney, calling Hicks for back-up. Jill hides in the supply closet when she hears Dewey arriving and attacks him with a bedpan when he bursts in, only to be interrupted by Sidney. Jill regains the upper hand and pushes her knee into Sidney's stitches, causing them to become undone.
Gale intervenes but is nearly shot by Jill, who has stolen Dewey's Glock Hicks jumps into the room, throwing herself and Gale over the nearby bed. Jill orders them to come out, on the threat of shooting Dewey. Hicks slowly comes up and gets down her gun as instructed. However, when she tells Jill not to do anything stupid, Jill gets annoyed and is apparently shot dead.
Gale gets up, too, and sees Sidney moving. Stalling for time, Gale fumbles over words in a poor attempt to stop Jill as Sidney silently reaches for the shock paddles.
Begging for one last word, Gale says, "Clear. Sidney told her she forgot the first rule of remakes: "Don't fuck with the original. Gale and Sidney see, that Dewey's alive. Behind them, a shadow moves and Jill jumps up, pouncing at Sidney with a glass shard, only to be shot in the chest by a knowing Sidney. Sidney, in all the action, her injuries, and exhaustion lies back down next to her cousin's body and whispers, "I don't know about you but I feel a lot better.
Outside, loads of reporters are praising Jill for having single-handedly ended the Woodsboro killings, finally giving her the fame she so desired. The final shot is of Jill's dead eyes, as the whole town is about to realize that their supposed "savior" is actually the mastermind behind it all. Sidney, Gale, Judy, and Dewey told everyone the truth, they all believed them, realized that Jill Roberts tricked everybody, was one of the killers, framed Trevor, and her "fame" was replaced with infamy.
In March , it was confirmed that he would indeed direct and stated that, "I am delighted to accept Bob Weinstein's offer to take the reins on a whole new chapter in Scream history. Working with Courteney, David, and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again. And I can't wait to find the talent that will bring new blood to the screen as well. Kevin is right on his game with the new script — the characters and story crackle with energy and originality — to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since Let me at it".
Cathy Konrad, producer of the Scream Trilogy sued The Weinstein Company for allegedly developing Scream 4 behind her back and defended the move on false pretenses.
Her company, Cat Entertainment Inc. Konrad said, "[that argument] was merely a scheme to force her out of the project without payment so The Weinstein Company could produce the project on the cheap — through Scream 4 director Wes Craven's wife, no less". Craven stated that within the ten years that have passed between Scream 3 and Scream 4 and there have been no "real life" Ghostface murders but have been numerous sequels to the movie-within-a-movie Stab. Craven also stated on the life status of Sidney Prescott, "She's done her best to move on from the events that occurred in the previous films, even releasing a successful book".
Craven said that endless sequels, the modern spew of remakes, film studios, and directors are the butts of parodies in the film. The main characters have to figure out where the horror genre is in current days to figure out the modern events happening to and around them.
It was reported that the actors were not given the script past page 75 in order to protect the identity of the Ghostface killer. Despite the character being killed off in Scream 2 , Kennedy said, "I actually had a conversation with somebody very big in the organization, and there's a way.
I don't know what's going to happen, but they have plans for a lot of things. You can see new faces you wouldn't expect and you can see old faces that you wouldn't believe. There's a way to bring a lot of things around. He's kinda dead" and referencing the white horse in Halloween II , which was ridden by a character that died in the previous film, the remake of Halloween.
However to have Randy in the film, it sort of just takes it… I mean Scream 2 was a lie, you know? It's a false move. So I just won't do it. I can't do that. I just won't do it". At the 67th Golden Globe Awards, the Arquettes discussed the possibility of their return and also that of Neve Campbell and Craven; stating that Dimension Films hoped to get all of them back.
The story of Sid, Gale, and Dewey is very much a part of the movie. About the Author - Heather Wixson. Read Heather's Articles Follow on Twitter. Daily Dead's Official Podcast!
