[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 298864, member: 23"] I like the idea of [I]Scream[/I] as a trilogy, and would have been happy to leave it at three.

I didn't study it closely, but it looked OK as I watched it the other night. What I really disliked about this film was the way they gave some of the victims "funny" lines as they died. The police officer had the "eff Bruce Willis" line, and then you had the kid shouting "I'm gay. I'm gay" in an attempt to stop being stabbed (just ten years on and that would probably get the film cancelled today). It felt really cheap and undermined any power the scene might have had.
