Mildly amusing

Rating: 6/10 (28 February 1999)

The humor was enough to carry the movie... barely. It's really just another plot-lacking slasher flick. The only difference is this one doesn't take itself too seriously. If you really want to rent a horror movie, go rent something like Carrie, the Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, or even the original Hellraiser. If you just want a mindless slasher movie so you can laugh with your buddies, then sure, rent Scream 2. There are a lot of inside jokes, so it helps if you've seen the original.
