Scream 4

It is really quite something when you can sit and watch so many people being brutally butchered by some crazed knife-wielding pshycopath in a ghostface mask and feel absolutely nothing. When the first Scream film hit cinemas in 1996 it was fresh, it was exciting, and it was scary. With each subsequent movie in the franchise the body count has risen but the shocks have decreased. It has become so formulaic and predictable that it is just impossible to care about what is going on. It is also too self aware for its own good and the pop culture references, that were once cool and funny, are now just annoying.
