Amazon.co.uk Review

Fully aware of its status as the sequel to the surprise hit thriller of 1996, this lively follow-up trades freshness for familiarity, playing on our affection for returning characters while obeying--and then subverting--the "rules" of sequels. Once again, movie references are cleverly employed to draw us into the story, which takes place two years after the events of Scream, at a small Ohio college, where the Scream survivors reunite when another series of mysterious killings begins. Capitalising on the guesswork involving a host of potential suspects, director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson have crafted a thriller that's more of a Scream clone than a genuinely inventive new story. But the shocks are just as effective, and escalating tension leads to a tautly staged climax that's simultaneously logical and giddily over the top. Background information for trivia buffs: to preserve the secrecy of plot twists, copies of the screenplay were heavily guarded during production and restricted to only the most crucial personnel. When an early draft was circulated on the Internet, screenwriter Kevin Williamson did rewrites, and subsequent drafts were printed with red ink on brown paper, eliminating the threat of photocopying. None of the cast members knew who the killer was until the final scenes were filmed. -- Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific sequel that lacks the punch of the first film, 21 Dec 2002

By	Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

As a whole, ignoring the conclusion for a moment, I judge Scream 2 to be the best film in the Scream trilogy. The opening scene is quite brilliant in design, setting the backdrop as a movie theatre premiering the movie Stab (based on Gale Weathers’ book about the killing spree documented in the original movie); basically, we watch enthusiastic audience members raucously enjoy a dramatization of the opening scene of Scream, and the first murders take place in this theatre full of masked, knife-wielding audience members—it’s a perfect backdrop (but Jada Pinckett’s death swoon is incredibly prolonged). Rather than shirk criticism about this just being another rehashed sequel, Scream 2 is built around the very idea of recreating the events of the first movie. We are on familiar ground from the very start of the action, feeling quite comfortable with the main characters from the original film: Sidney, Dewey, Randy, Gale, and—in a manner of speaking—the killer. The introduction of Cotton Weary, the man who was wrongfully sentenced to prison for the murder of Sidney’s mother, is a very effective addition that does much to increase both the suspense and mystery of the film as well as the list of possible suspects. New cast members I took special note of include Heather Graham, Sarah Michelle Gellar (in a definite non-Buffy role), Portia de Rossi, and the singular Rebecca Gayheart, and I am happy to report at least one of these most attractive women does not succumb to the killer’s knife.

The original Scream was a pretty original take on slasher films, and I was a little surprised to find the plot of this sequel equaling if not bettering that of the original film throughout the first two-thirds of the drama. To some extent, we have seen all of this before—the killer calling his victims on the phone and then jumping out of nowhere with that familiar mask and sharp knife, individuals trying to escape the killer’s grasp and usually failing to do so; Sydney facing up to her fears and trying to survive. It all works well here, though. The killings are not quite as violent or gory this time around, but the suspense is palpable throughout the entire movie. The killer even made me twinge a time or two, and that rarely happens. The only criticism I would have of Scream 2 is the ending. It is much too long and drawn-out, for one thing. It is also somewhat weakened by the fact that we know what kind of revelation to expect; it was well nigh impossible, even for as talented a script writer as Kevin Williamson, to top the power and surprise of Scream’s final moments. Even though I was unsure who the bad guys were in the first movie, in retrospect I could go back and analyze the clues to see that it made sense. While the identity of the killer(s) did surprise me somewhat in this sequel, this was largely because the evidence I needed to figure out the mystery was not there for the most part; too much of the truth is hidden from us until the climaxing moments of the movie.

Scream 2 is a remarkably good sequel, one that does not fall victim to the curse of progressively bad follow-up films the horror genre is rife with. Its additional comedic element, such as can be found in the interaction between Dewey and Gale as well as in Randy’s theories on horror sequels, does help to offset any disappointment to be found in the film’s ultimate revelations. Of course, it is all but impossible for it to achieve the same effect on the viewer as the original Scream did because, while you may not know exactly what is coming, you can be reasonably sure that you know the form in which it will appear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Screaming is GOOD!, 15 Aug 2005

By A Customer

It was delivered, quickly and was the condition that it said. The movie is billiant and if you are a Sarah Michelle Gallar fan she is in it, but not for very long, if you know what i mean. There are no words to tell you how good this film is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Betta Than The 1st, 6 Oct 2003

By	"lydy2k3" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scream 2 [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)

After finding all the flaws of the first movie this sequel over wrote most of them. The opening sequence is not as scary as the first but is on it's way, and once the movie starts long gone are the days of the high school comedy/horror flick. The movie now takes place at a collegewhen after a movie is made about the scream 1 murders, a copy cat begins the woodborough killings. Sydney is no longer a timid Plain Jane character but a lot more mature and confident than the weak lanky haired girl we grew to love in the orginal. Also it isn't half as predictable even though the body count and gore isn't as high and it more focusses on who the killer is than who's having there intestines spilled. Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a nice appearence as a Drew Barrymore 2 and Randy returns with his movie knowledge along with the limping David Arquette and short haired Courtney Cox (as evil as ever.) There are new characters as well. Sydney's love interest Derek, Cotton, Maureen Prescot's supposed killer, Sydney's new best friend Hallie, the movie obsessed Mickey and a Gale Winters fan Miss Salt. This film is a must see, a rare sequel that bettas the original.
