Scream 2 update feed

A decent and scary enough sequel.

“Having loved Scream and that the story had been told, personally I thought that a sequel wasn't really needed, but that is what we have got. Expectations were neither high nor low, and there was bound to be something new in this one that we hadn't discovered in the predecessor. Did Scream 2 reach up to the masterful standard of the first film? Definitely not! Like most sequels that don't have a follow-up story to its predecessor, Scream 2 is like the first one all over again with the same openings and endings but with different yet slightly weaker plot twists and turns. The Hangover: Part II and Home Alone: Lost In New York are examples.

The best bit of credit that can be given to this sequel is that after the few plot twists and turns, there were a few questions that were asked ” read more

"14.7.2011, PC Hmmm, ihan hyvä jatko-osa tämä on suoraan sanottuna. Odotin jotain kamalempaa mutta kyllähän meno on samaa kuin ekassa. Jatko-osien kustannuksella pelleillään mukavasti, tosin huumoriosuus ei ehkä toimi ihan niin hyvin kuin ensimmäisessä osassa. Leffan ongelmiksi koituu lähinnä ykkösen kierrätys ja ylipäätänsä osa elokuvasta on hitusen pitkäveteistä. Etenkin viimeiset 20 minuuttia on semipuuduttavaa tavaraa. Perushyvä jatko-osa kuitenkin on kyseessä."

" And Wes still got it. A great sequel. All the aspects from the first movie are still here. "

One of the better horror sequels in history

“"There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful sequel. Number one: the body count is always bigger. Number two: the death scenes are always much more elaborate - more blood, more gore - carnage candy."

Grossing in excess of 15 times its production budget at the box office, 1996's Scream proved that life still remained in the ailing slasher genre. Naturally, a sequel was swiftly green-lit, and Scream 2 hit multiplexes in December of 1997, barely a year after its predecessor. Yet, despite such a quick turnover time, Scream 2 does not feel like a shoddy rush-job. The only movies more ripe for satire and ridicule than mindless slasher films are the endless sequels to mindless slasher movies, and the filmmakers behind Scream 2 were able to capitalise i” read more
