pretty good follow up but falls short slightly

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2000)

Scream 2 was a solid sequel to the original. It equals the first movie in scariness and thrills. The acting falls short of the first film and it lacks originality. But the main problem with Scream 2 is that while it is a pretty good scary movie, it is ultimately forgettable and cannot stand on its own as a horror film.
