The parody continues?

Rating: 6/10 (5 September 2015)

Two years after the Woodsboro murders, Sidney Prescott tries to rebuild her life and goes to college. But, amid all this, new deaths happen and soon all realize that, after all, the masked killer is back. Directed by Wes Craven, has a main cast basically similar to the first film.
If the first film was difficult to understand, this film goes in the same direction. If some people found it scary, tense and full of terrifying moments, others thought it was fun, laughed and basically "supported" the killer. Wes Craven returns to "attack" the clichés of teen and horror films, but this time more gently, giving the film an apparently more serious focus. Nevertheless, and despite the film really looks serious and keen to cause fear, its too funny for it and the victims are still too despicable for us to have empathy for them. Only Sidney (Neve Campbell) deserves sympathy, as seems to be the character psychologically more complex and mature. Interesting is also the transformation of Dewey and Gale: that ambitious and egocentric journalist falls in love with the young policeman, who looks a "good boy" who can't break a dish, but is now much more mature than in the first film.
