2013, Rated R for bloody violence, language, and teen drinking, 103 minutes

Sidney Prescott (Campbell), the survivor of the Scream massacre, returns to her home town,
Woodsboro, as part of her self-help book tour. As soon as she arrives, the killing starts again.
This is a murder mystery with humor and self-parody of the franchise. Guys, feast your eyes on
the cheesecake in the cast during the prologue. Watch the gag reel, too. We really enjoyed this
one, as we did 1, 2, and 3.
