Scream 2

I really like 'Scream 2' (1997) and I consider it my second favorite out of the whole series. Honestly, I think it's a pretty solid sequel, maybe even better than the first one for some people. But personally, I don't feel it matches up to the original 'Scream'. That said, it still does a good job at trying to top the first one as a sequel: it adds more to the story by expanding the setting, brings in more characters, digs deeper into the lives and relationships of the ones we know from the original, and keeps moving the story along without messing things up. I'm not a fan of Randy dying, but it's a twist that shows no one's safe. I also really love that this second movie has some of the biggest moments from the whole series. Like Cici's phone call, the chase that follows, and her death. Gale running through the university A/V lab, the heart-stopping car chase that ends with Sidney climbing over an unconscious Ghostface, which was super scary, and finding out that the two Ghostface Killers are Debbie, who turns out to be Nancy Loomis, and Mickey Altieri. No one who hasn't watched it would guess Debbie was Billy's mom if they even thought she was a killer. Overall, I really liked Scream 2, wasn't as good as the first movie, but is definitely a good sequel!
