The best Scream film

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2019)

They say that sequels rarely are better than the original, but this is one case where a sequel is better than the original. I had my doubts about Scream 2. With that being said, I was surprised. But what makes this film better than the original? First of all, we have better characters. Even though we have the same characters from the original, but to see them living life after a tragic event is quite interesting. Plus, we grow emotionally attached to the old characters. Which is to say that the new characters are good but we do not become emotionally attached to them. With that being said, main characters do die and that just comes to show that this film is not scared to do big things. One thing that made the first Scream work was the self awareness. Another thing is the mystery surrounding the identity of Ghostface. The original film made me surprised but this film made me even more surprised. Typically with sequels, they are absurd, but this film has no absurdity at all. This sequel manages to be more bloody than the original while still being suspenseful and an enjoyable film. A must watch.
