	Scream 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scream 2 (1997 released in 1998 in the UK) is the second part of the Scream trilogy, which was concluded by Scream 3.
		A signature device, started in Scream and continued in Scream 2 and Scream 3, was the typical "rules" for that type of horror movie being stated by the characters.
		Loomis' motivation for the killings was to avenge the murder of her son, Billy, one of the killers in Scream.

	scream 2
		Scream, as I noted in my review of it last year, was a clever and effective satire of the then-moribund slasher subgenre.
		Scream 2 isn't quite as witty as I'd hoped -- it should've had more fun with the idea of sequels -- but it's twistier, gorier, and, at times, more shocking.
		Scream 2 is as clever and nerve-wracking as the original; on its own self-referential, crowd-pleasing terms, it's a success.

	Scream (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scream is a 1996 horror/dark comedy film directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson.
		The film revitalized the slasher film genre in the mid 1990s by using a standard concept (teens being brutally killed off being one example) with a tongue-in-cheek approach that successfully combined straightforward scares with dialogue that satirized slasher film conventions, (for example, the final girl).
		Also, the victims in Scream are quite self-aware: they each make clear their familiarity with, and poke fun at, teen slasher and horror flicks, which sets up their fairly ironic responses to the film's situations.

	DVDFILE.COM: Scream 2 review
		The performances are all dead-on, but whereas the first film cruised along nicely and almost felt breezy, Scream 2 seems a bit clunkier and forced, especially the overtly dramatic situations and bloated, 2-hour plus runtime.
		Scream 2 definitely delivers some truly scary moments, is ten times better than most crappy horror sequels, and is just plain a lot of fun.
		Scream 2's track, though, is interesting because of the very fast and pressure-filled production schedule, so the behind-the-scenes antecedents are particularly interesting on this one.

	Scream 2 . Tucson Weekly . 12-22-97
		Scream 2 is full of stilted dialogue and embarrassing romantic situations (between people who just look wrong together), and every 20 minutes, a character gets separated from the fold and perforated until dead.
		Scream 2 also playfully references its own predecessor: The opening scene occurs in a movie theater showing a film called Stab (actually, the original Scream).
		In Scream 2, the killer is omnipotent as long as he wears a mask and remains a monster.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Scream 2"
		In Scream 2, there's a scene involving a cop car that had me gripping my chair and the person next to me because the tension and anticipation were killing me. This movie is a must-see and as far as sequels go, this is the best I've seen.
		Scream 2 pounds into us that sequels suck and are never as good as the original, so I guess they were simply making a point when they purposely made this sequel suck.
		In the first Scream, the horror affected everyone and you could tell, the town was emptying out and kids were frightened, and everything that happened with the characters and around them was a natural extension of the killings going on.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Scream 2
		Scream 2 is an even more satiric film than its predecessor, and this tone is established quickly with the opening scene.
		As smart and fun as Scream was, it certainly had its share of cheesy aspects, and it is refreshing--not to mention surprising and brave--to see Williamson and Craven poke fun at their original film to such mercilessly hilarious effect.
		I would not be surprised if in Scream 3 (which is all but a foregone conclusion at this point), we hear the fresh, funny, and frightening Scream 2 mentioned as proof in the positive.

	Scream 2
		Scream worked well enough within its own frames of reference as a parody of slashers with a knowing wink to the postmodern audience.
		Scream 2 is closer in spirit to Wes Craven's New Nightmare (though still not as genuinely disturbing), operating outside the frames of reference even of the film itself, this time to embrace its own predecessor and engage in a less than subtle debate about the representation of violence.
		Scream 2 is Scream apotheosized, and the latter is as integral to the former as The Godfather was to The Godfather Part II (agreed by the film students in the movie to be the greatest sequel ever made...).

	Still Screaming - Scream Trilogy - SCREAM 2
		Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Scream phenomenon was the feeding frenzy the sequel had sparked among Hollywood agents, all of whom were itching to get their rising stars the same hip exposure the youthful teens in Scream garnered.
		Scream 2 became so secretive that scenes were distributed in installments and filmed out of order.
		While the original Scream was a send-up of slasher conventions, Scream 2 was a takeoff on the follow-up efforts of other horror films, which spawned horrible and numerous installments.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- SCREAM 2
		SCREAM 2, ($30) like its predecessor is a cool and hip reinvention of the tired and "done to death" psycho-killer horror sub-genre.
		Where the original SCREAM was a self referential homage to the important and original films of the genre, SCREAM 2, being a sequel takes a "stab" at doing the same for the inevitable horror sequel.
		With SCREAM 2, Courteney Cox proves that her first outing as Gale Weathers was no fluke- she really is an actress with a full emotional range who is wasted in sitcom roles.

	DVD Times - Scream 2: Collector's Edition
		Scream 2 followed extremely hot on the heels of the phenomenal box office success of its predecessor, released less than a year later.
		Scream 2 was originally released as a bare-bones package with a non-anamorphic transfer.
		Scream 2 is a relatively watchable film provided you overlook the massive regression it is when compared to the original.

	INKPOT MOVIE REVIEWS: SCREAM 2 (Wen-Qing)
		Sorry to say, SCREAM 2 stinks, and it's a pathetic sequel to something as inventive and entertaining as the first SCREAM (this is arguable of course).
		At least in SCREAM the finale was in a house watching a horror film fest, but in SCREAM 2 we watch the climax in a theatre in college where a Greek Tragedy is being staged...
		Scream 2 was pretty good but it lost a little flavor without Randy and there's no way he can come back.

	The Cold Spot -- Scream 2
		It's a year or so after the events in the first Scream movie, and Sidney Prescott, now a college student, is terrorized by a killer wearing the same ghost-faced costume that terrorized her before.
		Scream 2, as a sequel, adds an extra level of postmodernism to the mix--call it a meta-satire.
		--- Scream 2 is much more a horror film than Scream, and the cell phone scene is just great, so is the scene in which Sidney freaks out on stage while rehearsing her role as Cassandra.

	Eye Weekly - Scream 2 - 12.11.97
		Scream 2, luckily for all of us, rules.
		Just as Scream derived much of its postmodern bite from the gleeful way in which it dissected traditional horror-movie cliches, Scream 2 is all about how to make sequels that don't suck, allowing the characters full rein to riff on the potential pitfalls of franchising.
		Well, Scream 2 delivers all this and more, holding its own admirably without deviating from the template -- and never, never retroactively violating the integrity of the original.

		Scream 2 was good it's but things to a scary movie that was never notice in watching a horror sequel.
		That's why I believe there was a different writer for Scream 3, Scream 2 was just ridiculous, another thing that pissed me off was killing off Jamie Kennedy's character, Randy, he was the comedic brilliance behind the entire franchise.
		Scream 2 was not as exciting as scream one or two but it was an amazing move.

		In addition, the best music from the movie is not included, especially from Scream 2 when Sidney and her roomate are trapped inside the car with the killer just laying there.
		Scream's prologue has been left out too, which is weird, considering everyone immediately remembers Drew Barrymore's scene, which is basically the essence of Scream.
		Much of the music from the Scream 2 tracks on the album is unused, or not heard in the movie, which is not what I wanted to hear.

	Scream 2
		Scream was at least an interesting film with a sort of twist on the very much-maligned slasher film genre, although a lot of the script had a somewhat hackneyed and sophomoric feel to it.
		Scream 2, on the other hand, contains a very hackneyed and sophomoric lot of expansive dialogue about the rules of making a sequel to a slasher movie written by none other than Wes Craven, who then forgets to follow his own rules.
		One day, she wakes up to find that two seniors at the same educational institution have been murdered at the premiere of a film based on those murders, which is a stressful enough event to begin with, except for the added annoyance of constant hounding from the press.

	"Scream 2" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Like its predecessor, Scream, the second installment of this Wes Craven franchise focuses on the life of Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell), a survivor of the Woodsboro murders.
		Scream 2 is as good, or even better, than the first as far as film quality is concerned.
		I found "Scream 2" to be predictable, and that the characters suffered from the 'I am stupid and don't realize the killer is behind me' syndrome.

	FireBlade DVD Review: Scream 2
		This second of the Screams takes us to the movie beyond the movie, with the characters in ‘real life’ running from killers at the same time as a movie is shown about their life in Scream.
		Scream 2 continued the writing/directing duo of Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven.
		Their helplessness in the face of a masked killer is less believable in Scream 2 than it was in Scream (where it also had problems).

		The original Scream was a pretty original take on slasher films, and I was a little surprised to find the plot of this sequel equaling if not bettering that of the original film throughout the first two-thirds of the drama.
		Scream 2 is a remarkably good sequel, one that does not fall victim to the curse of progressively bad follow-up films the horror genre is rife with.
		Scream 2 is full of tense moments and plot twists galore, but a majority of the film has a "I've seen this before and I've seen this done better" feel to it.

		But Scream 3 is not really a sequel, but much more of a finale in a trilogy, which is exactly what Scream and Scream 2 writer Kevin Williamson had envisioned.
		Scream 3 does, however, pick up with the characters where we last saw them, even if it does not give a damn what they went through earlier.
		The set of Stab 3, a Hollywood sequel to what happened in Stab and Stab 2, which told of Scream and Scream 2 (have I lost you yet?), is being attacked by a ghost masked killer, who is killing members of the cast.

		No, Scream 2 is a much less ambitious film than Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho or Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, but it does exactly what it sets out to do--deliver a non-stop stream of pulse-pounding suspense.
		Craven slyly acknowledges that Scream 2 is indeed a sequel and that the odds are against him delivering the goods twice in a row.
		But unlike Scream, where the in-joke references were just icing on the cake, in Scream 2, Craven even stages scenes to emphasize sequel-ness.
