I'm pretty sure this was one of the very first scary movies I ever saw. My ex-best friend loved scary movies and she and her neighbors had rented this. I actually enjoyed it, though I hid my eyes with a blanket some of the time. :P

MCT:July 17, 2008Scream 2 was way more predictable and not as exciting as the first one, it still was quite a good movie but nothing like the original.

Might not have been as good as the first but still a very good sequel with a great plot and good characters.

Far superior to the first, and the film students in this picture can add Scream 2 to their list of better sequels.
Unlike the first, Scream 2 tones it down a notch on overused allusions to previous horror movies. This installment is much less satirical than the first, and I appreciated it much more. The violence is still borderline offensive, but that's part of the appeal to this franchise.
I'll always consider Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer to be rivals, and I found that Scream has something that the other doesn't, which is a better sequel. I really enjoyed this movie. -

Decent sequel to the hit slasher flick adding more talent to the cast in Timothy Olyphant and more involvement for Liev Schreiber. Their is a copycat on the loose and has targeted Sidney and the 'gang' again, the script is more Ironic, the death scenes are more elaborate but i didn't need to be 2 hours long but it's well acted enough to keep you going especially from Courteney Cox and David Arquette. Nice horror film and this is where the series should have ended.

Okay I have never seen Scream, but i could guess pretty well what was going on. It was an intresting movie, sort of sappy, a bit confusing at some times. I really liked the layout of the credits I thought they were pretty cool. Portia de Rossi was scary with the blonde hair and brown eyebrows (what was with that????). I was surprised Jamie Kennedy was in the movie. Laurie Metcalf did a good job playing a pyscho, I was surprised. What was wrong with Dewey, why was he all limping and what was with the sudden burst of love between Dewey and Gail that was weird. I thought Gail should have died instead of magically walking up the stairs after being shot. Sidney was cool I liked her the best, the end of the movie was the best part!

Un bon film (malgré les multiples ressemblances avec le 1er volet) si on laisse de côté la scène de fin, peu intéressante et interminable...

Not as good as the first, but sequels rarely are. Despite this, the film still maintainned it's own means of terror and horror, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt the ending was a bit rushed though. Plus, I don't understand why Sidney didn't grab the gun off the boot of the car and shoot the killer when she had the chance?! I guess that would have ruined things slightly...

If ever a film cried out for a sequel, it was "Scream". The first instalment of what is currently a trilogy, was as unique and sharp as a slasher horror can get. Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson (writer of "I Know What You Did Last Summer") put together a film that successfully poked fun at itself and the genre it represented. Even though the humour came from basically telegraphing what was coming next, it worked effectively thanks to expert direction from Craven. Even I found the first movie enthralling to the point where it made me jump.
"Scream 2" continues from where the prequel ended. Reporter, Gale Weathers has penned the true story of "The Woodsboro Murders" (ie "Scream") and a movie called "Stab" which is based on the book, has hit the theatres. When two college students are murdered while watching the movie, it seems that a copycat killer has begun a new spree. It eventually becomes clear that Sidney (Neve Campbell) and her friends are in danger again. Bumbling but honest cop, Dewey (David Arquette) flies out to visit Sidney when he hears and all the remaining characters from "Scream" are re-united.
If you didn't know what to expect in "Scream 2", don't worry. Movie buff Randy (the excellent Jamie Kennedy) quickly fills us in on what is likely to happen in a horror sequel - higher body count, more suspects etc. And so "Scream 2" mimics the original in it's use of irony and 'in-jokes'.
And that's not a bad thing. It is much of the same, but it's done with a great deal of style as before. There may be more violence, and less humour but the combination is such that it still manages to entertain. There are too many flat characters - Sidney for a start, and I'm no fan of Dewey or Gale. But thankfully the young, relatively unknown cast members, Randy, Mickey (Timothy Olyphant), Cotton (Liev Schreiber) and Derek (Jerry O'Connell) all bring individual and different talents to the script.
Derek is the intriguing boyfriend of Sidney - can we trust him? Cotton is the man that Sidney wrongly accused of the murders in the original movie. He did a year in prison because of it. Is he out for revenge? You'll ask yourself these questions throughout the movie as you search for the person who 'done it'. As it turns out, the climax is disappointing and kind of felt forced and illogical.
But overall there were enough scares, tension and humour to make this a very respectable and entertaining sequel. However, having just watched the third installment (review elsewhere on the site), I wish they would have quit at this point. -
MCT:April 14, 2008Pretty ridiculous movie compared to the first, and I still think it was a mistake to kill the Randy character off in order to scare the audience that anyone they'd become attached to could die. The death on the cross also was a bit overboard. Still, the Craven/Williamson team still makes the cut for a decent sequel.

Cotton Weary is o...( read more )ut of prison, and is trying to cash in on his unfortunate incarceration. Gale Weathers has written a bestseller, "The Woodsboro Murders," which has been turned into the film, "Stab," starring Tori Spelling as Sidney. As the film's play date approaches, the cycle of death begins anew. Dewey Riley immediately flies out of Woodsboro to try to protect Sidney, his "surrogate sister." But in this sequel to the 1996 horror film, the number of suspects only goes down as the body count slowly goes up! THIS IS a great movie.

I got scared. I really did. It made me afraid of the people I would meet in college. Turns out? Untrue.

I don't care what anyone says about this film. It may not be quite as good as the first one but alone it really is a great film that has just as many thrills as the first. I think they had to make the second and third one after the first beause of all the mentions of sequals in the first. I love that Craven sets out the rules to a sequal as well. They even state right at the beginning that they are inferioir films compared to the originals. This is the case here but that doesn't mean that it isn't a seriously enjoyable film. The acting is brilliant as always. It's great to see Neve Campbell's character back for more mass murdering excitement. This time Sydney is a few years older and this time the body count is higher. Ten compared to the seven of the first. Not only does it follow it's own rules of sequals but it also puts its own twist them. The movie references are as high as last time which really is why I love these movies so much. I think once you've watched all the major horror films and then watch these films you see all the sutble references which appear in just about every scene in the film. A must see.

The movie worked well as a sequel and didn't take itself too seriously at all. All the cast that survived comes back for this one which I liked. The story was good and the scares worked for me.
There was a bit of a bummer when my favorite character died but that is to be expected in a horror movie. -
MCT:March 9, 2008
Very good, not sure about the boyfriend though. I guess sequels can't always live up to their ancestors. This is still incredible, mind.
