When Scream was released in 1996, I was very impressed by the satirical and self-referential style of the film. However I was sceptical when the sequel, Scream 2 was released in 1997, as I thought it was straining the idea to make additional films.
Scream 2 follows on two years after the events in Scream and sees Sidney (Neve Campbell) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) trying to lead a normal life after their traumatic experiences in Woodsboro. While attending College, two college students are killed while watching the film, Stab, which is based on Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) best selling book about the Woodsboro murders. It is obvious that there is a new murderer on the loose copying the original crimes. Dewey Riley (David Arquette), attempts to protect his friend from the killer, as Gale uses the events to further her career, as does Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber), who has been released from jail, after being cleared of killing Sidney’s mother. Sidney must once again struggle to survive a killer out for her blood.
This is a decent sequel film by Wes Craven, who has managed to retain some of the quality from Scream. It is good at looking at the conventions of horror films, especially sequels, which is well described by Jamie Kennedy’s character, Randy Meeks. Neve Campbell is good in the lead role, which she is now used to playing. It is interesting seeing stars who are big names now, playing small roles in this film, such as Heather Graham and Sarah Michelle Gellar. It is a nice idea having a film within a film and things don’t get complicated, which is good. Fans of Scream will be pleasantly pleased with this film.
