Scream 4
Director: Wes Craven
Actors: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette
PlotSidney Prescott returns to her hometown of Woodsboro after a decade as part of her book tour. She reunites with familiar faces including Sheriff Dewey Riley and his wife, Gale Weathers-Riley, who is struggling with writer's block. Sidney's arrival coincides with the anniversary of the original killings, and it isn't long before a new Ghostface emerges, targeting Sidney and a new generation of teenagers. Among the potential victims are her young cousin, Jill Roberts, and Jill’s group of friends, who find themselves in the killer's crosshairs. As the body count rises, Dewey, Gale, and Sidney must once again confront the terror that haunts them all, and navigate a twisted series of events to uncover the identity of the new Ghostface.
The new wave of murders introduces a meta-commentary on the evolution of horror films and their tropes, with the killers seemingly fixated on remaking the original massacre under the guise of a "reboot." Evidence begins to suggest that those closest to Sidney may have hidden motives, raising questions about loyalty and trust within her circle. Tensions rise as Sydney, with the help of Dewey and Gale, races against time to prevent history from repeating itself, and to understand how the rules of survival have changed in this new nightmare. This harrowing journey forces everyone involved to delve into their past traumas while facing the lethal present.
