2. Scream 4 — Starz, Available Now
Given the news that the upcoming Scream franchise relaunch has officially finished filming, it seems like great timing that Starz has released the fourth film in the franchise. In the world of Scream 4, it has been years since the Ghostface Killer attacked Woodsboro.
Since then, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has written a self-help book and returns to her hometown for her book tour. While there, she reconnects with old friends, but her presence also brings about the return of Ghostface. Scream 4 is a fantastic return to form for the franchise, and it has plenty of fun cameos and celebrity appearances.
