Scream 2


SCREAM 2 (1997) - Apr. 14, 2011 (Second Viewing)
Though this wasn't quite on the level of the original, this was a really effective sequel that was actually pretty close to the first one in quality.  Opening with a really effective and memorable sequence in a movie theatre (which still kind of pales in comparison to Scream's opening scene), the film follows Sidney and her cronies as they get into ghostface-related shenanigans at university.  The film has a number of effective set-pieces (including a really memorable one involving an unconscious ghostface in a car) and manages to introduce some decent new characters.  ***1/2
