Revisiting the 1997 sequel was a treat, as it clearly defines horror and creates a well crafted thriller at the same time.
Scream 2' is a memorable horror film from Wes Craven, it's rough around the edges but worth the watch.

The best part of the movie was trying to guess the killer.
Neve Campbell seemed to be flat in her performance.

Scream , as I noted in my review of it, was a clever and effective satire of the then-moribund slasher subgenre.....it should've had more fun with the idea of sequels --.... ... Full Review

Scream 2 is a good movie that does a real good job like the first one of analyzing the horror genre and poking fun at those movies while it delivers a darn good slasher movie in the process.
The big news in this DVD review is not the movie, but how lame the DVD is.

The original Scream boasted an opening sequence that was one of the most intense Ive ever seenand established that in this film, anyone could die.
In the end, Scream 2 is a contemptible affair that highlights nearly everything I hate about '90s style teen horror.

The movie overall was fun.
The ending also pissed me off.

Having more to feed off (the OJ Simpson trial, the original movie, college frat-house films) doesn't automatically guarantee Scream 2's success.
But we're looking at a slasher flick where all the characters arecine-literate slasher fans being terrorised by a copycat, whose reign of terror is based on the movie-within-a-movie remake of the original Scream.

he's just as knowledgeable about horror films as ever.....Scream 2 isn't quite as clever as its predecessor....Some of the smartest dialogue comes during this sequence as Pinkett bemoans the lack of African American participation in horror films (it's surely no coincidence that, in addition to Pinkett and Epps, Scream 2 features two black characters).....It would have been a little more fun, I think, had Craven used Joe Dante's approach from Matinee.... ...
