CHARLIE WALKER (Rory Culkin), Scream 4
“Well, if you want to be the new, new version, the killer should be filming the murders…making your art as immortal as you.”
While he’s not very high on the list, I have to give Charlie some points for his big reveal. After Kirby (Hayden Panettiere) “saves his life” by answering the killer’s horror movie trivia, Charlie brutally stabs her for not noticing him over the years. It’s a great twist; the scene is set up just like when Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) attempted to save her boyfriend Steve in the infamous first scene of Scream. Charlie makes a decent Ghostface, but his obsession with the past knocks him down a few pegs and ultimately leads to his downfall. Sorry Charlie—we give points for originality here.
