Movie Review: Scream 4

This sequel hopes to outsmart the audience by turning the tropes upside down, but it’s more posing that payoff. It’s the tenth anniversary of the original massacre and the town’s teens are celebrating, even the original trio is back (Campbell, Cox & Arquette). Naturally, Ghost Face starts stabbing and provides plenty of bloody blows. There are a few mild jumps, but updating it to the social media slant isn’t really that original.
GAY ANGLE: The nerds who’ve studied the genre proclaim that the only character who can’t be killed is the gay one, a theory which may or may not be “cut.”

Jerry Williams reviewed movies for WTVR-TV for 14 years and for Style Weekly for 10 years. When he launched his own website in 1998 at TVJerry.com, he took his reviews to the Internet. Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.
