Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Paul Evans People often talk about how poor sequels are in comparison to the originals, but with Scream that is far from the case, the original in my eyes is a classic, it helped redefine the Slasher movie, return it to the fore front of cinema for several years. Scream 2 in some ways is better then the first, the script is a little tighter, it's not afraid to have a cheeky laugh at its own expense, the killings are perhaps bigger and bolder, and they find a way to shut Sarah Michelle Gellar up, who could ask for more.Some of the cinematography is excellent, it's a very good looking film. I think Neve Campbell's stage dance is one of the film's best moments, it works on so many levels, menace and confusion, it is very nicely done, similar to those great moments in the opening sequences at the cinema too, we as an audience are allowed to see what's going on in the midst of the noise and distraction.It loses points for making Dewey a complete and utter idiot, every time I watch this now I can only see his character from Scary movie, but there's little difference between the two. The killer(s) certainly comes as a surprise.A very good Slasher movie.

bensonmum2 Scream 2 is set two years after the events in Scream. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has moved on and has tried to put things behind her. But her new life and her old life soon cross paths as a new killer shows his face (well, not really - he's wearing a mask). Sidney's friends are being picked-off one-by-one and she in a fight for life. For me, Scream 2 isn't as good as Scream, but for a film that was rushed into production and had the difficult task of following a modern horror phenomenon, it's really a decent film. I'll give a lot of the credit to the director, Wes Craven, and a talented group of actors. Craven was a real pro. The fact that he was able to take this bloated script and turn it into something watchable is almost a miracle. He does an excellent job creating tension and atmosphere with several of the kills. I'm probably most impressed with Randy's death scene given that it takes place in broad daylight in a crowded common area. Nicely done. As for the acting, it's a strong cast for a film like this. Campbell is joined by actors like Liev Schreiber, Timothy Olyphant, Jamie Kennedy, Courteney Cox, Jerry O'Connell, and Laurie Metcalf - all more than capable. Very nice. You know, if it weren't for an overload of self-referential nonsense, a 2+ hour runtime in desperate need of editing, and the ridiculous opening movie theater sequence, I could easily see rating Scream 2 much higher. Still, it's entertaining enough to warrant a 6/10.

lorcan-61881 Scream 2 is the awesome horror sequel sequel to Scream. The film yet again follows Sidney being stalked by the new Ghostface. Scream 2 has the same feel to Scream,the film has a great amount of deaths and intense scares,Neve Campbell,David Arquette and Courtney Cox all do awesome jobs as there usual roles Jerry O'Connell also appears in this and does an awesome job as Derek,Sidney's new boyfriend,the film has a few flaws though,some of the actors are quite boring like Elise Neal and Jada Pinkett Smith,but,Scream 2 manages to escape your usual bad sequel

bruingal-28746 The beginning scene at the sneak preview of "Stab" is too unreal. No ONE behaves like that inside a theater room; people running around with fake knives, throwing popcorn at the screen, and acting like it's a playground. Second, WHY would a horror film based on real murders allow masks and fake knives inside the theater ? It's common sense. I just find it too unrealistic and cheesy. You don't put people in danger by handing out killer's masks, making it way too easy for actual murders and/or dangerous activity to take place. Don't get me wrong, I love Wes Craven and re-watching 90s flicks, but the only thing making this film tolerable is Gale's character and Deputy Dewy.
