When two college students are murdered at a sneak preview of "Stab," a movie based on the events from the first film, it's clear a copycat killer is on the loose. Sydney and Gail, as well as fellow survivors Deputy Dewey (David Arquette) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) have to find out who is behind this new murder spree, before they all end up dead.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      As with the first film, Scream 2 is a gleeful takedown of scary movie conventions that manages to poke fun at terrible horror sequels without falling victim to the same fate.

      Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Its self-awareness has a brashness that can be enlivening. Rated: B May 20, 2011 Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly The rest of the cast of disposable archetypes deadpanned about why ''sequels suck'' -- a particularly funny joke, since this one didn't. Rated: B Mar 24, 2011 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety Visceral, witty and appropriately redundant... Jul 28, 2008 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review If Scream (1996) opens with one of horror’s most iconic scenes, the sequel features a pre-credits sequence that, like its predecessor, is better than the film that follows it. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) This sequel to the highly successful original is wittier and just as scary. Rated: B+ Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Superior to the overrated original. A couple of set-pieces attempt to accentuate suspense rather than slaughter. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      First name L A sequel that maintains the tone and momentum of the first. Not sure where all the hate is coming from? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Amanda S Hands down the best Scream movie. We haven't had a good chase scene like Gale on the college campus since this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Jaylen S Perfect fellow-up to part 1 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Lucas S A única coisa boa desse filme é a abertura.
