    Maybe there will be an oversaturation of ''Scream''-inspired horror films someday soon, but this one feels fresh.

    It's no worse than any number of other cookie-cutter slasher flicks geared for the slightly post-pubescent market.

    The film is competently made, and the attractive cast emotes and screams energetically.

    Saying that, I did get the killer wrong.    … Expand
