A Bloody Good Time!

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2010)

Scream 2 is probably one of the most successful horror sequels to ever come out. It has the same tone, the same tongue-in-cheek attitude, and the same love for movies as the first does. It has some great direction from Craven, and again he makes it a bloody good time to tune in to the blood and the killings, and the who-done-it mystery. Neve Campbell is again very good as the protagonist, as is David Arquette. Courtney Cox delivers once again in giving us an unlikeable yet ultimately loving character as the film progresses, and her Gail Weathers is a very complicated persona. Sarah Michelle Gellar has the best chase scene in the film, and probably the best chase scene in any Scream film (together in the same year with what I consider the best chase sequence of all time in I Know What You Did Last Summer). Overall, this is a more than satisfying horror sequel, and stands equally in the same bar as Scream, if not higher.
