Wes Craven has revealed that his new movie Scream 4 is influenced by the rise of the internet and social network sites.
Craven is back in the director's chair with new movie Scream 4, the first film in the franchise in over a decade.
The movie sees Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell and David Arquette return to the roles of Gale, Sydney and Dewey.
Speaking to Cineworld Unlimited the filmmaker said: "It's been an extraordinary decade, and the rise of social networking and the internet in general have been a huge part of it.
"I'm fascinated by the way filmmaking and blogmaking are starting to merge. And in this film the plot is built around those kind of elements.
"Things have happened in that decade that are just unprecedented."
"I'm still 72 and I still have the occasional nightmare. When you're a veteran of life you get a little more refined in your taste for fear. And you get better at confronting it."
Scream 4 is released 15th April.
