SCREAM 4 Test Screening Results Are In! Better Than The Original?
There is little doubt that the upcoming SCREAM 4 sequel that hits April 15th is one of the most talked about horror films of 2011. It has been 10 years since we've had any "scream-da-monium" and since the announcement of the fourth film the suspense of "will it live up to the hype?" has been the hot topic of Bidites everywhere...

That has all changed as a recent test screening in Pittsburgh on January 6th took place and today we find out the results. Please keep in mind that this is a just a "test screening" and "test screeing" only. That means the film will change based on the reaction of the test audience. However in the early stages things are looking very good according to the reaction and that will have genre fans everywhere "screaming" with glee.

According to our friends at /Film this is what the early screener results had to say. "This “work-in-progress” screening was said to be missing a few effects shots, and was somewhere between an hour and forty five minutes and two hours long. The crowd was reportedly heavily recruited with minorities. Here are excerpts from some of the early reviews:
DanielleRocks from Scream-Trilogy: It was phenomenal! What can I say. This outshines the 3rd one easily. Definitely the bloodiest of all of them, but I feel like they’ll edit some of it down. An unrated DVD would be nice to have though. All the acting was superb. Not one flaw. The opening scene was hilarious and brutal. Definitely a lot of great Williamson writing. The characters all felt very genuine. Gale was back to her bitchy self, and had a bunch of great one-liners. The ending was insanity. Easily the best of all the series, in my opinion, anyways. The crowd experience was great, and everybody was totally into it. Cannot WAIT to see this in theaters come April. Hopefully they don’t change anything. Loved it loved it loved it.”
From the comments at Scream-trilogy.net: “By far the best opening in the series. Smart, hilarious and absolutely brutal. The movie is a lot like the first in the series in a lot of ways, something that is commented on with plenty of self-awareness throughout the script. This is a very, very good thing. I disagree about the gore….I felt that was the one thing that felt unfinished about what they called a “work-in-progress”. Some of the effects shots seemed toned down or incomplete, but it didn’t detract from the experience at all. Acting was great, with one major exception. I definitely think they seriously miscast one of the roles. No more detail about that, but still, it wasn’t that big of a deal for me.
cowherpower_2006 on IMDB: “The movie starts off very good like a typical Scream movie. The movie has a very good flow up until the we get towards the end of the movie. The killer(who I won’t say) is just stupid and takes away from an other wise good buildup in the movie. Also the ending had to have been at least 20 minutes or longer and just kept going on and on and on. Finally when it does end you are bored out of you mind and it really kills what was otherwise a very good movie. Remember an ending to a movie is very important and can make or break it.”

I hope I'm wrong though. I like being surprised.
