Dare me to say it? ...THIS MOVIE WAS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!
Ha! There goes my "useful comment" rating!
Not many movies beat their originals, especially in the horror genre. However, Scream 2 proved them wrong.
Sidney has gone to college and moved on with her life after the events of Scream. However, the murders and famous "ghostface killer" have followed too.
Sidney, Dewey, Gale, Randy, and Cotton all return from the first film. But we also get an interesting new group of people: Hallie, Derek, Mickey, Cici, and Debbie the reporter, who is actually more annoying than Gale.
We also have a higher body count, more gore, more interesting kills, and a much better ending (in my opinion).
I recommend this to fans of the original movie. 8/10.
