Yesterday, not only did we receive a new synopsis for the upcoming filmed-in-Michigan flick Scream 4, which opens April 15, 2011, but we also got feedback from the first audience of fans to see the movie. There was an early test screening held in Pittsburgh last night and some of the first impressions of the film have begun to appear online.
Scream-Trilogy reports, “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.”
Another audience member, @casketbase, tweeted, “OMG Scream 4 was awesome!! Better than 2 and 3, easily. It was surprisingly really good. My expectations weren’t that high, but the cast and the story were both really good. Under threat of being sued, I can’t talk about the plot :/ But I’ll just say they don’t disappoint. ahhhh it was awesome. Love the series, and this one ranked up with the first movie. So good. It was almost as scary as the movie…”
While @MShakeMP added, “Scream 4 was amazing!!!”
You check out more of the latest feedback at Slashfilm.com, in the meantime, here’s the official synopsis:
Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale (Courteney Cox), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) and her Aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell).
Unfortunately Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.
