Good movie, less spooks (Ultra-super-mega-spoilers.)

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2004)

What? Another Scream? I gotta prep up...
1. Lock all doors. 2. Cut off all phone lines 3. Wear kelvar jacket and that mythril stuff in LOTR
That should do it.
OK, this movie was good, but if people are looking for more of a freaky time than the first, don't get your hopes up. Scream 2 starts off with the traditional great first scene, centering around a couple who go to see the premier of Gale Weathers' movie "Stab." And of course, they are both done in by a teen slasher wearing the same mask...it was y, but not as y as our good friend Casey Becker...
This is how I saw the movie: It was placed into two separate movie plots, all jointing together in the end. One plot followed Gale, Dewey and Randy, three survivors of the Woodsboro massacre. The other follows, of course, Sydney, her new boyfriend, Derek, Derek's friend Mickey, and one of her friends Hallie. (Yea, I know, Syd, Billy, Stu, and Tatum, haha). One scene starts with Gale, Dewey, and randy discussing the s and, of course, Randy receives a cell call, and who is it? The killer. And as Randy keeps the killer talking, Gale and Dewey interrogate everyone in the park talking on a cell phone. And it ends in Randy's and the killer's escape. Yes, Randy was killed, everyone. I bet you wish you got to stab Jamie Kennedy like he did.
The plot then thickens. Gale and Dewey are then attacked in the school by the killer and Dewey is killed (?). As Sydney begins to evacuate the town, the killer attacks her as well She escapes into the school, and Hallie is killed. (Like Scream 1, yea...) Sydney is chased to the play stage where she finds Derek tied to a cross (!) and is chased by the masked killer. The killer turns out to be Mickey, and he soon accuses Derek of being his partner in crime, and kills him before he can free himself.
Sydney then engages Mickey and evades him long enough for Mickey to introduce Sydney his real accomplice, and its the MOTHER of all surprises. No, its not Mickey's mother, and its not Sydney's mother, its BILLY'S MOTHER! How could you guess that? Gale is shot and so is Mickey and the old accused killer, Cotton Weary, comes to the rescue and kills Mrs. Loomis. Dewey is then found to be alive barely to end the movie.
This is a very good movie, but the fact that the killer is unguessable is stupid. Both killers were not good choices, it would be cool to see something unexpected, like another "fake " thing that might include Randy, maybe, but I guess I have no say. Also, many of the characters could be compared to the characters in Scream 1:
Derek - Billy (sorta) Mickey - Stu Hallie - Tatum
which is not something I liked. Also, they did not do the greatest of jobs with the phone scenes with Cici and Randy. Not too spooky. Fear-seekers should look elsewhere.
7.5/10
