Scream 2 (1997)

Another killer in a mask is after Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and the other survivors (David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Jamie Kennedy) from the first Scream film, but this time, it is the rules of a sequel that are being followed.

Quick Review: The strength of Scream was that it did something different; outside of that, it was nothing special, but "different" means a lot in horror.  Well, this is a sequel, so it's no surprise that what was different is now a repeat.  It starts off well, with the events in the first film having been made into the movie "Stab."  That joke and some bits about sequels are good for a few laughs, but that's it.  There was enough material for an excellent 15 minute short.  Unfortunately, they dragged it out into a feature.
