As expected, the first sequel to 1996's Scream was disappointing. Instead of trying something new, they followed the exact same template as the original, right down to the "multiple killers" reveal at the end.
Where the original gave us clever twists on old tropes, Scream 2 brought us a tired rerun of the its predecessor. The early scene in the movie theater was silly, and the "logic" behind the victim selection was pretty thin.
I'll give the next one in the series a go, but I don't have high hopes. I'll give Scream 2 a C. Streaming on MAX.
