As a fan, I was very impressed

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2014)

The movie starts out as the Rilato Theatre shows "Stab".
Some time after the murders in "Scream", a film has been made to much fame. A killer begins his spree by attacking two movie goers. Sidney and Randy, fellow students of the victims at Windsor College, attend a press conference that addresses the murders. Dewey arrives on campus to protect her, and Gale arrives with Cotton in the attempt to bring the two together for an interview. Both Dewey and Gale suspect the return of a killer and begin making inquiries into it. The killer continues to stalk the community, attacking a sorority, and makes threatening phone calls, but Sidney's boyfriend, Derek, helps to protect her. Dewey and Gale make progress in their investigation. Two detectives are assigned to protect Sidney. Eventually Randy is murdered, then the two detectives, and then Hallie. In the climax, Derek is murdered, the killer is revealed to be Mickey who worked with Debbie Salt. Gale, Sidney, and Dewey all survive.
There are several topics address in the film through dialog. The first is the lack of an African-American influence in horror films. The heyday of slasher films was in the 80s while Whites still had a very large strong hold. Whether or not they still do is another topic, but the slasher genre was always more concerned about gore and ticket sales; it appealed to a mass ticket going audience.
The second topic is the conversation in film class about sequels. It has to be one of the best dialogs in cinema. Film often takes a second seat to "fine art" like statues and paintings. Jaime Kennedy and Timothy Olyphant bring up topics of pop culture, like T2 and Godfather, that help the audience relate and be less cynical about the fact that this is simply another sequel to a slasher movie.
A third topic is the influence of culture on violence. It's a theme very common, as they point out. Bob Dole hit on this heavily and ran for President in '96 the year before "Scream 2" came out. These themes are what make "Scream 2" better than most horror movies. They have actual themes and topics other than just killing. It's hard to take seriously a mass murdering a movie as very legitimate, so these validate the film and the many emotions that come with it.
I'd definitely recommend this film.
