With the hotly anticipated release of Scream 4 next Friday, Dimension will be kicking marketing up a notch despite the fact that it’s already on everyone’s minds. A new TV spot has cropped up online and shows off just what to expect from this movie--more of the same.

I get why the first Scream was so popular. It was a fresh look and satire of the horror genre and managed to be both funny and scary at the same time. But how many times can someone in a ghost face mask come after the same people and have it still be scary? The Scream sequels have both been bad, like really bad, so what is it about Scream 4 that’s got people so excited?

The two main draws for me, Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell, presumably get offed in the first 15 minutes following Drew Barrymore’s lead in the original (we don't know that for sure, it's just speculation). And that will be followed by about an hour of them wondering who the killer is as their friends get picked off one by one, followed by a frantic 15 minutes where those left think they know who the killer is and try to find him, and that will conclude with a shocking reveal that it was someone else all along and one of their friends was in on it--just like the others.

Maybe you folks could enlighten me as to why people care about these sequels.
