Summary: Best Sequel Ever!!!
Review: Scream was awsome!!! Scream 2 is just as awsome if not better!!!
Think about all the horror sequels over the years, they never even came close to being as good as the original. Halloween II was ok, but it was no Halloween. Friday part 2 just sucked. The second Nightmare was also a disaster. Thats where Scream 2 is different, way different! What can I say, it is one of the best horror movies ever made!!!

Summary: Action Packed Sequel Lived Up to the First One
Review: I'm amazed at how great this movie was. We know that Billy is dead but another copycat shows up right after the premire of Stab which was about the original Scream. It introduced Cotton Weary the man who went to jail for murdering Sidney's mother. He was to eager to get his fifteen minutes of fame. Also back was Dewey, Gail, and Randy. I was suprised that Dewey didn't bring up the fact that his sister was dead. I liked Randy a lot because he knew a lot about horror movies but sadly he died. Dewey really can take a punch I thought he had died in the first one. Gail really changed and she started caring about other people for a change. This movie was great and it is a must see for all horror fans.

Summary: S C R E A M 2 (1997)
Review: In 1996, SCREAM became one of the biggest movies in the boxoffice records. Now, a year later, Wes Craven, director of the first film, comes back to bring this stunning sequel, SCREAM 2. Jada Pinkett plays MAUREEN EVANS, a similar role to what Drew Barrymore played in the first film. Omar Epps plays PHIL STEVENS, Maureen's boyfriend. The two have free passes to the movie theater. The movie is called STAB, a movie based on the events of the first film. Maureen goes to get popcorn. While she is waiting for her popcorn, she overhears a girl saying that the movie was true. She goes back inside the theater, while Phil goes to the bathroom only to bite the dust. The killer comes back, wearing Phil's brown leather jacket and then kills Maureen. Neve Campbell returns as SIDNEY PRESCOTT, our female hero from the first film. Sidney is now a college freshman. She is seeing a nice guy named DEREK (played by Jerry O'Connell). She's got a great batch of friends named MICKEY (played by TIMOTHY OLYPHANT), HALLIE (played by ELISE NEAL), and, of course, her high school friend, RANDY (played by Jamie Kennedy). David Arquette returns as DEWEY. He shows up at Sidney's school to protect her. Courteney Cox Arquette shows up again as GALE WEATHERS. She shows up because Cotton Weary was released after the first killer was revealed. She has Cotton show up at Sidney's school for a reunion between the two. Later that night, while the sorority named DELTA LAMBDA ZETA, which is the sorority Hallie is trying to get in, is throwing a little martini mixure, CICI COOPER (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the killer's third victim. Everybody at the party goes to check it out, leaving Derek and Sidney at the front porch of the DLZ house. She goes to get her jacket and then go home. While she is getting her jacket, the phone rings. She answers it. It's the killer, and Sidney again is attacked. Derek goes after the killer and end up with a cut arm. Lewis Hartely, the chief of police, has two detectives protecting Sidney. Later on, in the day, Randy bites the dust. Sidney and Hallie will be taken to a campus where they are kept in total safety. But while on the way, the two detectives and Hallie see the end of their lives, where Sidney is then confronted by the killer again. Who is it this time? Watch this one and find out.

Summary: Good but the first was Better
Review: I liked the sequel it was better than most sequels turn out however I still prefer the first but it was satisfactory to my demands. The premise of the sequel is that the survivors of the first movie all go on to college as well as three new members to the group and after the movie Stab based on what had happened to them last year came out two people were murdered and they think that they could be next so they are now wondering if it is a person trying to make a real life sequel. I would recommend this to people who have for one thing seen the first movie and liked it. Also if you are going to watch this make sure that you are thirteen or older otherwise it will be to violent for you. Second of all my advice would be for you to watch it with a friend otherwise you may be afraid to pick up the phone if they call. I hope that this review has helped you in making a decision about whether or not you will watch this movie!

Summary: WORKED OUT A LOT BETTER THAN MOST OTHER HORROR SEQUELS
Review: VERY SHORTLY AFTER ''STAB'', A MOVIE ABOUT THE KILLING SPREE THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE FIRST MOVIE, IS RELEASED IN THEATERS, A COPYCAT KILLER CONTINUES THE RAMPAGE. BETTER THAN WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT OMAR EPPS AND JADA PINKETT SMITH COULD'VE USED A LOT MORE SCREEN TIME THAN WHAT THEY GOT. CAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE KILLED. THIS MOVIE BENEFITS FROM NEVE CAMPBELL, WHO RETURNS AS SIDNEY. IT'S AN OK SEQUEL. IT SHOULD PLEASE FANS OF THE ORIGINAL, ALTHOUGH IT RUNS OUT OF STEAM TOWARD THE END.

Summary: Almost Better than the origional
Review: Wes Craven hits it big again with this amazing sequal! NO one was really expecting this to be better than the origional, ( most sequals SUCK ) but this was a much anticipated movie and hit hard hwen it came out. This very closely came to surpassing the origional. Sydney still believes that there is a killer waiting to get her, and she's right, with a movie about her life coming out, more muders start to occur. And she soon again finds herself in the middle of vicious murders. And she finds out that it is again a tag team duo, Micky, the freaky film student, and Billy's mother, who also, like her son, seeks good old fashion revenge.... What made this movie so populare was that it took Scream to a new level, bringing in other stars, and having movies inside a movie, and it mixed comedy with horror. Tastefuly, in one of hte first secens, we meet a college class discussing how sequals suck. This all thrown into one makes for a fun movie that is packed with it's share of thrills.

Summary: Actually better than the first film
Review: More violent and character driven than the first film, Scream 2 manages to improve on most of the first film's short comings, but is still only an average horror/thriller. Picking up where the first film left off, a familiar ghost faced killer is stalking Sidney (Neve Campbell) once again, and the film also features returning cast members Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Liev Schrieber. Scream 2 is full of tense moments and plot twists galore, but a majority of the film has a "I've seen this before and I've seen this done better" feel to it. Released only a year after the first film, Scream 2 was a smash hit like the original, and like the original, helped spawn a never ending wave of trendy teeniebopper horror films that just about all failed to impress. The rest of the cast includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jada Pinkett, Jerry o' Connell, Laurie Metcalf, and Timothy Olyphant; most of whom give memorable performances.

Summary: The sequel surpasses the original
Review: When Scream was released back in 1996 it provided a much-needed stab of life into the horror genre. It became the most talked-about slasher flick in years, so a sequel was inevitable. It arrived in 1997, and was appropriately called Scream 2. It grossed $33 million in its opening weekend and received rave reviews from both critics and fans alike. My personal opinion is that Scream is probably the best in the series, but Scream 2 features a lot more memorable scenes of terror in terms of nail-biting and seat-gripping suspense. In Scream we saw Sidney stalked by a serial killer, who slashed his way through her friends and relatives before tormenting her. The reasons go back to Sidney's mother who was murdered a year previously. The whole town was shocked by these events, and in the opening sequences of Scream 2, we see that Sidney's events (that us as the viewer saw in the original Scream) have been made into a Hollywood blockbuster called Stab. The opening scene of Scream 2 is particularly memorable. A foxy lady played by Jada Pinkett goes to see Stab at the cinemas with her boyfriend. The scene they see is of a young girl alone in her house. Anyone who has seen Scream will know that this sequence in Stab is taken from the original film where Drew Barrymore is murdered brutally. Easy to understand if you've seen the Scream trilogy, not so much if you haven't! Anyway, the outcome of this woman and her boyfriend is history as they are murdered simultaneously in the toilets and theatre. As a sequel Scream 2 is based around the idea of recreating ideas from the original film. It works incredibly well. From the start of the film we are rather comfortable with our characters who reprise their roles from the first movie; Sidney, Dewey, Randy, Gale, and our killer - to put it sharply. New character members appear in the form of Heather Graham, Rebecca Gayheart and Portia de Rossi. However, the one that stands out the most is Sarah Michelle Gellar. Definitely not in her Buffy role for this movie, she appears as a kind of tribute to Drew Barrymore's ten minute opening sequence in the original film. Gellar has a short role, but it comes off as perhaps the most memorable scene of the entire film. When I first saw Scream 2 a few years back, I was somewhat surprised to see that the first three quarters of the film are infact better than the original. The only thing that lets it down slightly is a bit of a crummy ending, but the classic scenes in the middle of the film hold it up. The cinema/toilet murder scenes, Sarah Michelle Gellar's awesome portrayal of the girl in her house on her own, the trapped-in-the-car scenes, the University studio. They're all fantastic and draw out the suspense incredibly. After facing her fears to a certain extent at the end of Scream, Sidney seems afraid to go back and be the brave heroine in most of Scream 2, but her change in character towards the end is rather uplifting and inspiring. The film score is incredibly suspenseful and works well by sticking in your mind many hours after you've watched the film. The final moments of Scream 2 are what lets the film down slightly. After the incredible events of Scream's ending, it was almost impossible for director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson to come up with something to top it. OVERALL GRADE: 10/10 All in all Scream 2 is a very worthy sequel which surpasses many of the scenes from the original film. The humour that infused the first film and made it so witty with its popular culture references is maintained in Scream 2 wonderfully. With the original Scream it was unlike anything that anyone had seen before, so anything could happen. Scream 2 is disappointing in the fact that, even though you may not know what will happen precisely, you have an idea of the form that it will take. However, don't get me wrong, this is one of the best horror films you will ever see with so many classic scenes that will go down in motion picture history.
