After the incredible high of "Scream (1996)" a sequel was always on the cards. However Scream 2 doesn't live up to what it should have. Firstly, Scream 2 already moves us out of Woodsboro which for the franchise felt far to early to happen in what was always going to be a titan of a horror movie franchise. Woodsboro was of huge importance in the first film. So why not in the sequel establish it as horrors huge town? Like 'Haddenfield' or 'Springwood.' Secondly the killer reveal always feels odd like how the killers have a combined screen time of 16 minutes. Although the twist of having Laurie Metcalf be Billy's father was a highlight of the movie I felt Ms. Loomis was very underutilised in the film as a whole.
To conclude, I still stick with the view of this isn't a bad movie. In fact no Scream movie is bad to me however the plot and setting doesn't play out together as I had hoped following on from the first film.
4/10.
