Brief Description: Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro on the ten year anniversary of the original murders. People suddenly start dying gruesome deaths at the hands of a new Ghostface killer.
My Rating: 3 out of 5

If you've seen any of the previous Scream movies, then you've seen this one. There's really not much to review in terms of the meat of the movie. The choice of killer is slightly different, but not surprising (and their reasoning behind the murders isn't a shock either). Nobody dies in any new or interesting ways. You don't really care that any of the characters get the ax.

What I loved about it was the intro. Or intro's. False beginnings really. Those were fun. The second false start had Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell, and I must say that that was the most entertaining portion of the movie. It had the best dialogue and the most fun characters. The second most entertaining part of the movie would be Hayden Panettiere's haircut. I spent the entire movie starring at it, wondering if it'd look good on me, how traumatic it might have been to cut it, and how badass it made her look. Out of all the characters in the actual movie, her's was my favorite. She had some good lines (at least better than the others) and had more of an attitude than the vanilla personalities of the other characters. I bet it was a fun character to play.

At any rate, this wasn't an original. Nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing interesting except the false starts and an interesting haircut. All in all, it's skippable, unless you grew up with the franchise (like me) and want to see it for old times sake.

For anyone that's curious about the haircut:
