***1/2 out of ****; Grade: B+

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2000)

Rare sequel that nearly matches it's predecessor, as the survivors of the first film experience more slayings and in-jokes when they go off to college. Just as witty, and almost as scary as the original, with meatier character development and a razor-sharp performance from Cox. The conclusion is purposefully overwrought, and stands as the only noticeable flaw in an otherwise surprisingly enjoyable sequel.
