Incredible sequel better than the original

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2019)

Scream 2 is an incredible sequel, a smart, thrilling and self-aware horror sequel that effectively plays with the generic conventions of horror sequels. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courtney Cox and Jamie Kennedy all give great performances once again. Liev Schreiber also gives a really good performance with his increased screen time. The music by Marco Beltrami is fantastic. Wes Craven's direction is amazing and actually fixes the problem with the last film as there are less fake jump scares, even if some are still unfortunately present. Overall, it's surprisingly better than the original.
