Classic Friday : Scream 2 (1997) 8/10

Starring : Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Jamie Kennedy, Jerry O'Connell, Liev Schreiber, Laurie Metcalf, Jada Pinkett
Director : Wes Craven
Running Time : 116 mins

It's been two years since the infamous Woodsboro Murders were caught and, now that she's in college, Sidney Prescott (Campbell) thought that all the terrible events were behind her, that is until the release of the movie Stab, based on the true life book by Gail Weathers (Cox). Now there's a copycat killer on the loose, and once again Sidney and everyone around her is in danger of being the next victim.

This is almost as good as the first movie, with some subtle nods to horror classics such as Friday The 13th. Campbell is just as effective in this sequel, and still portrays a strong female lead without being over the top and unrealistic. Cox and Arquette bring some much needed comic relief in their reprised roles, with Kennedy expanding on his role in the first movie and this time playing a more integral part to the story.
