With “Scream 4” arriving in theaters this weekend, there’s been a lot of discussion over the Web about which “Scream” movie is the worst. Though reaction to the fourth installment has been pretty mixed, the general consensus seems to be that it’s a lot better than most people expected. Even our own David Medsker gave the film an enthusiastic 3 1/2 stars, suggesting that while it may not top the 1996 original, it should still satisfy fans of the series.
That’s not bad for a horror franchise whose last film (the terrible “Scream 3”) played a big role in why it’s taken 10 years to get another installment in theaters, especially because most horror franchises only seem to get worse with each successive sequel. The guys over at ScreenCrave recently put together a list of the five worst horror sequels ever made, and it’s hard to find any fault with their choices, even if there are plenty of candidates that could have easily been substituted. Check out the full list at ScreenCrave, along with breakdowns as to why they selected each film.
