Scream 4

Just don’t answer the phone, ladies. It’s that simple. Don’t answer the phone, and the killer can’t play out his evil script. But I guess the people that reside in Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven’s Scream 4 world don’t have voice mail. If they did, would there be a movie? The hapless residents also don’t seem to have any peripheral vision, either, because the killer almost always comes from the side. It seems like if there was killer this omnipotent and prolific, Dewey the sheriff would have a hotline to either the FBI or the National Guard. Dewey is well-meaning, but he can only do so much -- especially with a series of killers who can all disguise their voices in the exact same way. If there’s a different killer in each movie, shouldn’t their evil phone voices sound slightly different? Maybe I just miss Jamie Kennedy too much. No one could explain the rules of horror movies better than he could. I certainly can’t.
