A great sequel to a great horror franchise!

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2010)

Amongst the horror genre and slasher-type movies, Scream places at the top, for me. I believe with the addition of each sequel, Jason's value went further down. It's not the same when you speak about Kevin's writing. Scream 2 nearly out shines it's predecessor. Reprisals from the main actors really helped.
There was still an incredible amount of suspense and mystery, and still gave the same vibe that Scream does about "who killed who?" I enjoyed every minute of the film and I found the character development endearing. No cheating and cheap shots involved in this sequel. It's true and loyal to it's fans.
Horror fans will still have their heart pounding and blood turned to ice as it's just as scary as the original. Hardly any comedy doesn't help with calming the mind after a big scare scene either. But, comedic relief is not necessary.
It still remains a satire film in making fun of the genre and of itself. It's fun to watch and very re-watchable. It shouldn't be assumed that sequels are always inferior. I believe Scream 2 is on equal grounds as Scream.
