Lacks Something Vital

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2008)

Director Wes Craven continued where he left off with this sequel which attempts to take the mickey out of just that; sequels. Unfortunately, while he provides some clever insights into the secrets of the sequel, "Scream 2" lacks something vital; a plot. Kevin Williamson was unable to provide any sort of story line.
The survivors of the first film - Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette - return for more as they are again terrorised by a knife-wielding nutter. Jamie Kennedy, Laurie Metcalf and Sarah Michelle Gellar also join in the fun. Such a shame Craven's "movie" movie is aloof, confused and derivative.
