Scream 2 Movie Review

Tori Spelling will not be playing Marjorie in the Now Playing Podcast movie adaptation Ghostface is back, and this time the body count is rising at Windsor College. Following the smash success of the original, Scream 2 doubles down on meta commentary, skewering horror sequels while trying to outdo its predecessor. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, joined by Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and a fresh crop of college classmates who quickly learn that surviving one massacre doesn’t mean you’re safe from the next. In the script, Kevin Williamson famously claims that "by definition alone, sequels are inferior films." Does Scream 2 prove him wrong with sharper kills and bigger twists, or does it fall into the very traps it mocks? Join Arnie, Stuart, and Marjorie as they revisit the 1997 follow-up to see if this franchise still has something to say or if the rules start to unravel the second time around.
