Wes Craven doesn’t miss. His meta-horror sequel to his meta-horror hits all the notes you want. Scream 2 once again subverts your expectations to keep you guessing however the twists don’t hit with the same impact as the first one
Scream 2 brings back our key players and gets Meta with the release of a new movie based on the events of the first movie. It’s a fantastic idea that is right in line with Wes Craven’s directions.
I remember at the time (and forever) there was the feverish debates of media making people violent and of course Wes is going to chime in with this brilliant commentary (spoiler alert he calls it bullshit)
Scream 2 hits all the right notes for the fans of the franchise and genre and is a good follow up to the brilliant original. It falls just short of the first, but the second offering is worth the watch
Thank you to my dear friend Soup @cavalierremedy for forcing me to watch the scream franchise this week
