	Author	Review
United Kingdom	David Hughes Empire	"A desire to Know What You Did Last Instalment is likely to be the biggest draw for Scream number four, but if this proves to be the last in the series, it’s a bloody shame it ended not with a Scream but a whimper. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Between a diabolically funny start and a surprise climax, 'Scream 4' offers nothing more than a series of gory deaths that grow tiresome with repetition. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Wes Craven is a good director, and the film is done with some wit and style (...) 'Scre4m' provides exactly what its audience will expect (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"Relying on obvious clichés doesn't seem ironic anymore, just easy. And though there are several genuine jolts, poor pacing leaves too much time between the silliness and scares (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Scream 4 may not be the scariest film this year, but it's certainly the most self-referential (...) The movie works better in its wink-wink mockery of the franchise than in its satire of teens (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Overblown, overlong and overstuffed with genre self-referentialism (...) it's not the razor-sharp reboot fans were hoping for"	NEG
