The fourth film more or less follows the concept of the first, with a clever whodunit plot, self-aware characters, irreverent humour and plenty of references to the first film. I would've liked to see references to the other two films, but that is only a minor gripe. It isn't quite as good as the original, but is a step back in the right direction from the third film that a lot of people felt was probably a step too far when it came out. Still, a must by for any fans of the Scream Franchise.
