5Scream 4 (2011)
The Concept Was Running Out of Steam
After an pleasurable trilogy of ego - referential satirical horror execution mysteries , the fourth entering in Wes Craven’sScreamfranchise lacked the excitement of the previous slasher instalment .

The cast included Emma Roberts and the getting even of Neve Campbell ’s Sidney Prescott , David Arquette ’s Dewey Riley , and Courtney Cox ’s Gale Weathers who showdown against Ghostface , but much like theStabmovie - within - a - movie premiss , it felt up like this serial had been milk for all it was worth .
