Scream 2 (DVD) Reviews

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The original Scream was a stellar horror film that was a great satire of the the horror genre, taking to task the staid conventions, poor characterisation, and laughable script. Whilst the third film perhaps too much adhered to the conventions it was itself spoofing, the second ...  Read the complete review

Scream 2 was released in 1997 and takes place two years after the end of the first film. Just like before, it is rated 18 due to frequent strong language and lots of horror and gore. This film is a little longer than the first at 115 minutes long. Plot Sidney and Randy are now attending Windsor College but get a bit freaked out ...  Read the complete review

---And we continue--- Having bought the box set containing all three films, I felt it was only proper and correct to watch them all. My first review has detailed the fun I had with movie one and I would suggest you have a lookie at that one before you read this one. The smart ones among you may have already figured out what I'm going to ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who knows me knows how i much i like this 90's horror film that i regard as the best horrror franchise set of films by my faviourite movie director Wes Craven. I tend to always say sequels ruin the first movie origianlly but this is a brillant exception. Watching every minute of this film is suspensful, thrilling and has you on the edge of ...  Read the complete review

So while we are talking the conventions of horror, its nearly a set-in-stone rule that sequels are never as good as their predecessors. Scream set the benchmark for 90s horror by turning the horror film on its head, whilst applying all its own rules, and kick starting a new franchise. Scream 2 kicks off with a whole host of new ...  Read the complete review

Plot Outline: Scream 2 sees the return of Characters Gale Weathers, Dewey Riley, Sydney Prescott and lets not forget movie freak Randy Meeks. This movie is set roughly 2 years after the first, the opening scenes starts with a particularly grizzly murder scene set in the cinema, which just happens to be showing the movie 'Stab' ...  Read the complete review

Everybody knows the whole deal with sequels never being as good as the first but I think this is one to rival that stereotype. Sydney, after her ordeal back in Woodsboro where the majority of her friends were murdered and where her life flashed back to when her mother was murdered, has moved away to college where she has started a new ...  Read the complete review

After absolutely loving the first in the Scream trilogy I was eagerly awaiting this instalment, and I wasn't let down! The story continues from the first movie and contains a lot of references so it's probably best to watch the Scream before watching this one. Sydney Prescott has moved onto college and away from the murderous ...  Read the complete review

It's tempting to be contraversial right away, it really is. I am talking about saying that this Scream (ie 2) is about on a par as the first. Shocking! I have been meaning to write reviews for this trilogy for a while now; it's not that I've only just seen them. So here goes.. After watching the first one and then this one ...  Read the complete review

Probably the most eagerly awaited of sequels and maybe one of the best I've ever seen. Then l never had anything against sequels in the first place, barring Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2, and Spiceworld 2 that is! It's opening night, my two best friends and I have got the last tickets and we're sitting on the front row. Arriving late, ...  Read the complete review

Second in the Scream trilogy. Sydney is now at some sort of film college and is joined by Randy. She gets prank phone calls from people pretending to kill her. Meanwhile Dewey is hanging around the college(why???) and Gail Weathers has written a book about what happened in Scream, which has been turned into a film. At the film premiere two people ...  Read the complete review

I made the mistake of watching Scream 2 without having first watching the original film – Scream. Both of our children had seen Scream and I found myself keep asking them questions on the relevance of so many things that happened in the film. This sequel certainly does not stand alone as a film, as so much of what goes on is related ...  Read the complete review

After seeing Scream a good few years back I’ve been eagerly awaiting the sequel (ok, sequels now!) to come out on TV. (You must understand that although Scream 2 has been out on video for a while…. I only rarely buy the video’s!) So, when I was looking through the Weekend TV guide and noticed Scream 2 was going to be shown on ...  Read the complete review

The sequel to the simply amazing Scream had to be funnier, sexier and gorier to please the audiences, and this is exactly what it is! Scream 2 reunites the Scream survivors at Windsor college, a small Midwestern university, two years after the first movie ends. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has grown smarter and tougher since the ...  Read the complete review

Scream 2's initial release on dvd was an underwhelming affair. If you had the R1/R2 version all you got was a widescreen print of the film, not 16x9 enhanced and devoid of any extras. Well now that situation has been redeemed with the release of a collectors edition of the film. In R1 land it's available in a bix set and is ...  Read the complete review

Yes you will be roaring after watching this , a sequel to a bloackbuster teen horror flick. COMMENTS SCREAM 2 asks the familiar question - 'Are sequels EVER better than the films they follow?' It asks it quite literally - being a sequel itself, and it ponders it in a tongue in cheek fashion as well, when characters in a ...  Read the complete review

This was such a good horror film, it was very scary, and put it one way it put ‘The Blair Witch Project’ to shame. It’s rated 18 and good job to and I don’t think some of the scenes are suitable for kids. It stars David Arquette Courtney Cox, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Neve Campbell and Jada Pinkett all the actors ...  Read the complete review

I watched this and I thought it was going to be silly and pointless! so I didn’t for a while? Then my friend brought it round and for hours I said I am not going to watch it then I said to him I am scared he said just watch it so I did I was watching it and it made me jump every 5 minutes but I didn’t hide under the covers! but really ...  Read the complete review
