SCREAM 4

Watchable. The makers of the fourth instalment do their best to send up slasher movie sequels and the eponymous celebrity victim webcasting murders makes fun of how you become famous nowadays and how no one reads books any more. I couldn't guess the killers' identities till the end and the red herring was misleading indeed. Still, the subject is treated so lightly that the whole story washes off quickly. It lacks the thrill, the creepiness and the physical attractiveness of the characters of the original "Scream". Of course most sequels are doomed by definition.
