directed by Wes Craven
Welcome to part 2! As you might be guessing, there might be some spoilers in this post, so if you haven’t seen the first part, don’t get angry with me. The main character is still alive! So are our irreplaceable Gale Weathers and sheriff Dewey. I really liked how this part began, because it starts with some random couple going to see “Stab” film in the cinema. “Stab” is a film inside our film, which is basically about what happened in the first part of “Scream”. Genius! Anyway, during the projection, everyone’s wearing the costume and mask of the famous killer called Ghostface. When the man from that couple goes to the restroom, he gets murdered by the real Ghostface, who gets back to the projection room instead of him. At first, the woman thinks her boyfriend is just fooling around, but when she gets attacked. And what do people do? They think it’s all just an additional performance to entertain them all, so they also start running around and stabbing people with their plastic knives. If this part doesn’t present what a weird species we, humans, are, then I don’t know what does. Anyway, Sydney, the heroine from the first part, is still alive and this time we can find her studying at a college. She soon finds out about the situation in the cinema and it’s clear that the new killer is not going to stop after that one murder. What I absolutely love about “Scream” sequels is that they are full of jokes about sequels in general. And I think the fact that the filmmakers decided to make this series so mocking is the reason why it got so popular and why every year in October we can see a bunch of people running around in the Ghostface maks. By the way, is wearing his mask considered as covering your mouth and nose? Because if so, perhaps I could get myself one and use it in public places. Imagine how many people I’d freak out. At least there would be no wasting time in the queue, right?
My rating: 6/10
