    I always enjoyed this sequel, it was a decent follow up. I liked the way they were able to poke fun of themselves through "Stab", and the soundtrack was great.

  • @seventhkeyomegasghost8233

    Randy's Death was one of the greatest deaths in slasher movie history. It was tragic, unexpected at the moment, shocking. Also, him dying the way he would have died in the first movie (not watching his back and letting himself get separated) wearing similar colors involving a news van.

      At first I saw this and agreed that it wasn’t underrated, and that most people DO think it’s as great as it is, but I’ve been seeing ALOT of people rank it low, and I’m BAFFLED. Like I genuinely don’t understand how this isn’t either Tied with the first or ranked number 1. There’s sooo many layers to this movie that none of them have. And if you don’t want your Scream Film to be layered, fine, but some of the takes from these people are just down right crazy. Like I heard someone say with a STRAIGHT FACE that the bathroom kill was the most unrealistic kill in the entire series…as if there wasn’t someone killed in a garage door!

    Love Scream 2. Remember going opening night, and the theatre went nuts during the opening scene. I'd Micky as the killer pretty early on but didn't see the Mrs Loomis reveal coming at all. It's easily one of the greatest sequels ever and the best Scream behind the original.

    Great video and observations about Scream 2! It’s always been my favorite of the sequels. I can’t help but hold some nostalgia for seeing it on opening night and having a sense of boiling over excitement for it…I still feel it every time I watch it, almost 26(?!) years later! I always thought it got an unfair bad rap amongst the sequels as well. One other thing it introduces is Dewey’s seemingly indestructible nature throughout (most) of the sequels. That definitely works and feels fresh here, whereas, it’s almost expected in 3 and 4.

    Scream 2 isn’t just my favorite scream, but it’s one of my favorite movies ever and I love the attention and respect it’s been getting as of late- it’s an unsung masterpiece that stands shoulder to shoulder with the first scream easily! Kevin Williamson is one of my favorite screenwriters and Wes Craven was a masterful storyteller and I think radio silence carried his torch beautifully in scream v- that whole 3rd act was For Wes! Got my tickets for 6 on Thursday, I better see like 50 ghostfaces otherwise what’s the point of it being in NY! LET’S GO!!!

    As a teenager i thought scream 2 was way better than scream. Better jump scares plus the theatrical experience. Still to this day i remember the sold out audience and it was one of the best experiences i ever had and as good as i felt partv3 was it was just not the same. Scream 4 was more of the woke movie and the smarter sequal. But all in all scream 2 teigns supreme and to think not that much blood i am sure this could have passed a pg 13 rating after a few edits.
    I can honestly say the same magic didn't happen til scream 5 but still scream 2 was soo great.

    Scream 2 is one of my favorite films of all-time!❤❤. I prefer it to the original movie. It took all the elements that made the original so great and made them bigger and better😊😊. The cast is better, the cinematography is better, the music compositions are more memorable and polished, the meta-slasher and social commentary still feels very relevant today and makes Scream 2 age very well. This is the movie where Courtney Cox was had the best hair😊😊. I love how Scream 2 has a distinct identity out of the entire franchise; it has its own unique aesthetic and feels the most like the 90s. I love talking about Scream 2. Wayyy better to Scream 4😊😊😊😊😊

Also, I hate that the movie had horror expert Randy had an iconic Aliens line wrong

    I'm convinced that Dewey and not Randy was the one who was suppose to die, but because he and Courtney Cox were dating they demanded they both survive for future films and instead they killed of Randy. Randy's death feels so out of place. Daytime in the middle of a park whereas Dewey's is perfect death scene, which he by some miracle survives.

    My strange theory for Scream 6: The killer this time is Sidney. Don't know if they could write it in a way that actually makes sense, but it would be the ultimate surprise, especially since Neve Campbell is officially not in the movie. The whole "she's not in the movie because we didn't want to pay her enough" kinda sounds like the elaborate lie they told us for the last Spidey movie, you know the "Andrew Garfield and Toby McGuire won't be returning as Spidey in this movie" lie.

    Roman had the strongest* motive. Richie and Amber had the weakest motive.

    I like the idea of there being a "cult" behind the killings in a future movie, but it needs some work. When people go to jail, it's public record. There is no way you could have a secretly alive former killer. Also, the new movies risk losing relevancy if they only ever keep referencing the first movie. I think going through the killers, the one who could develop a cult of personality around her would be Jill just for how unhinged she was in her quest for fame. I can picture like toxic twitter stan culture doing a whole #JusticeforJill routine.

    I think this movie gets lost in the universe. All the sequels talk about The Orginal, my only issue is Mickey would have been a terrible Ghostface if it was anyone other than Timothy Olyphant. He nailed and made Mickey be more interesting. He's the most mysterious of them all.
