|---|
Away at college, Sydney thought she had finally gotten over the shocking murders that shattered her life...Until a copycat killer begins a real-life sequel. Now Sydney and her friends are once again in a terrifying who-done-it mystery, where the killer can be the loving boyfriend, the freaky Tarantino film student, the nosy and cooky reporter, or even one of Sydney's closest friends.

Two years after the events of Scream guess who's back? That's right, Ghost face returns for more of the same in Scream 2.
This Sequel to the 1996 Wes Craven horror classic is actually a lot more stylish and atmospheric than the original, with deeper characters and a more psychological storyline. But sadly some of the freshness and fun of the original was lost in this one.
