Movie Review: ‘Scream 4,’ cleverly updated, works

The first 10 minutes of 1986’s “Scream,” in which (spoiler alert for those who have been living in a cave!) the movie’s supposed star, Drew Barrymore, was terrorized, sliced and diced by a masked madman known as Ghostface, instantly assured the picture’s place in slasher-film history. Never before had anyone successfully pulled off such a […]
