Scream 2 good but not good enough

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2005)

Recently channel four in the UK has been showing the Scream trilogy and after two years of not seeing the films it was nice to get to watch them again.
Scream 2 picks up a few years after the events of Scream. Scream 2 tries to do what the original did which was to come up with a fantastic and shocking opening, now while i like the idea of the killer sat amongst people wearing the same outfit i did not think the opening was quite as good as the originals.
The death scenes are a bit more gorier but very predictable. Something i don't always like in the script is that the killer always seems to fall down or seems to be clumsy, which is something i don't like because i think it becomes stupid and predictable.
Kevin Williams script offers new characters, new settings but nothing much more than that. Having seen the first you know or you can best guess that there will be two killers, one you may probably expect the other was a shock for me but a super ending and a better one to what Williams had originally written.
Wes Craven shows just why he's the master of suspense and horror by giving a good second helping of the Scream pie.
Worth the watch but don't be surprised by the predictable deaths.
