With Scream being such a big hit it was bound to
spark a sequel, and of course it did. As with most sequels it is
inevitable that it will not compare to the original by a long shot, but it
is a pretty good movie. The movie starts out at the premier of Stab,
a movie that is based on the events of the first
Scream. It appears that the movie has inspired a copycat killer.
Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, once again seems to be the prime
target of the murders. Neve once again gives a convincing
performance. She sticks with the always on guard tactics that made
her character so convincing in the original.
Courteney Cox returns as the bitchy Gale Weathers. Courteney
seems to have cranked the bitch knob way past PMS for her part in the
sequel. I liked how eventually the tables turn on her character and
she ends up on the other side of the media.
Along with Neve and Courteney, David Arquette returns to his role as
Dewy. But this time he makes Dewy come across as a kind of creepy
person. I didn't really care much for that.
So with good acting, and a good story line, I would say that Scream 2
is a decent sequel to an amazing movie, and is worth checking out. |
