10 Great Movie Sequels (That Nobody Saw)

10. Scream 4

Coming eleven years after the disappointing Scream 3, fans were chomping at the bit when a new instalment in Wes Craven's meta-slasher series was announced.

Sadly however, that this excitement from fans didn't translate into huge success. Often considered to be due to a lack of interest from mainstream movie-goers at the time, Scream 4 only really appealed to those who had stuck with the franchise through its two previous sequels.

For those of us who did however, Scream 4 is an absolute treat. Taking the meta-stylings of earlier films and cranking them up to new heights, this film sought to subvert the remake trend of the time by acting as a pseudo-remake of the original Scream.

All of our favourite characters were brought back for more bloody mayhem, alongside fresh-faced newcomers like Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Kulkin. The script absolutely sparkled with writer Kevin Williamson's skill for meta-humour and an increased amount of on-screen bloodshed served to satisfy fans who'd become accustomed to the more extreme horror of the time.

Scream 4 was the final film by Wes Craven before his passing, but comfortably sits amongst the very best of his output.
