Especially when she discovers that Wes Craven is writing another 'Nightmare' film.

In the dozens upon dozens of mixed reviews of " Scream 4 " (or "Scre4m," rather, although I'm pretty certain that won't affect the way you think it), I find it surprising that hardly any have mentioned "Wes Craven's New Nightmare ," a sly work to which the new movie is unquestionably in tune. In Craven's 1994 riff on the "Nightmare On Elm Street" franchise, which at that point was six movies long, the director and cast members from the movies played versions of themselves evading attacks from their own murderous creation, as Freddy Krueger inexplicably found his way into the real world.…
