Scream 4 4K Blu-ray Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, June 9, 2026

Note: Lionsgate is once again employing what might be called a "two pronged" release strategy with Scream 4 in 4K, mimicking earlier releases where interested consumers could choose between a wide release in standard packaging and a Lionsgate Limited release with SteelBook packaging. Unlike Dogma 4K (and Dogma 4K), however, this time there are actual differences in the supplementary content available. This release offers all of the "legacy special features" aside from a video game promotion, while the Lionsgate Limited Scream 4 4K release has new exclusive bonus content in addition to the previously available supplements.

Scream 4 had a 1080 release courtesy of Starz / Anchor Bay in 2011, and Martin Liebman's Scream 4 Blu-ray review of that release offers plot information, a list of supplements and an analysis of the technical presentation. Those interested may also want to check out my Scream 4 4K Blu-ray review of the Lionsgate Limited version for high res photos of the SteelBook packaging and descriptions of the extra supplements.

Scream 4 4K Blu-ray, Video Quality 4K

1080p

Note: Screenshots are sourced from the 1080 disc in this package.

Scream 4 is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate with an HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. Marty gave absolutely top notch marks to the old 1080 release, but as I've mentioned with regard to presentations I've personally had to revisit when they've been rereleased in upgraded versions, when you don't have anything to compare them to, you can be "flying blind" so to speak in terms of reaction. Both the 1080 and 4K UHD presentations included in this release show some considerable differences, especially in color timing, from the old Starz / Anchor Bay offering, and I'd certainly argue for the better when compared to the old release. I've tried to come close to reproducing some of the screenshots in Marty's old review so that those interested can do side by side comparisons, but in both resolutions and dynamic ranges, yellows are significantly lessened, something that's especially noticeable in some of the outdoor material with regard to things like flesh tones. The palette has some nice highlights courtesy of the HDR / Dolby Vision grades, and kind of interestingly there's a somewhat cooler look to some of the purplish tones that introduce Courteney Cox and Neve Campbell. While both of these transfers preserve the at times highly stylized soft and effulgent appearance that Wes Craven overtly aimed for, detail levels are routinely excellent, at least in the better lit sequences, and some of the fine detail on the horrifying carnage Ghostface wreaks may be stomach churning for some. I frankly wouldn't argue that the HDR grades provide a wealth of new shadow detail, and there are some fleeting moments where Ghostface's black costume can blend in with darker backgrounds. Grain can definitely be on the chunky side against brighter backgrounds, something that's probably even more evident in the 4K presentation.

Scream 4 4K Blu-ray, Audio Quality

Along with the 4K video upgrade, there's also a new Dolby Atmos track on both discs which provides a really satisfying immersive experience. There are some really fun surround effects in the film, along with unexpected "startle" moments like the sudden burst of a telephone ringing, not to mention some of Ghostface's "shenanigans". In that latter regard a couple of the slice and dice scenes offer some good verticality, if fleetingly, along with well placed "traditional" surround effects. Marty mentioned a certain lack of "oomph" in the old disc's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 presentation, something that frankly may be more mix related, especially in terms of scoring. Dialogue and the all important near "voiceover" from Ghostface are presented without any issues. Optional English and Spanish subtitles are available.

Scream 4 4K Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras

Note: Those interested may want to check out the Scream 4 4K Blu-ray review of the Lionsgate Limited version for the supplements it offers. Also note that as with many Lionsgate Limited releases in particular (even if this isn't one), some of the so-called "legacy special features" were not offered on the original 1080 disc. More information on the supplements that were included on that release can be found in Marty's review, linked to above.

Scream 4 4K Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

Scream 4 seemed to put the lie to the perception that there is frequently a law of diminishing returns with repeated sequels, even if it might be jokingly stated that Scream, Scream VI and Scream 7 may have reinforced that very perception. Technical merits are first rate, and the supplements appealing. With an understanding that diehard fans of this film may want to opt for the Lionsgate Limited release, Highly recommended.
