A scream indeed!

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 1998)

This movie has its ups and downs, I suppose. Since it's a sequel criticisms would be harsher and expectations higher. I like this movie most because of Neve Campbell's portrayal of Sidney Prescott. She's stronger here and more assertive. She didn't need any protection as she can protect herself. She has grown from the first Scream. However that's the only good thing about the movie. The villains are just not as effective as the first Scream. We don't know them, we can't identify with them and as much as they try to ooze suspense and horror, they're not frightening enough. But that's just what I think...
