I'm an uber fan of the Scream series. Although this didn't get much love when it initially came out it's definitely built up quite a following over the years. The Brilliant and missed master of horror Wes Craven a.k.a my favorite director revives the franchise with a fresh spin that's more relevant than ever. Sidney returns to her hometown 10 years later to promote a new book and is thrown back into the mix with a whole new slew of victims and some really grotesque and brutal death setpieces. A feisty Courtney Cox and David Arquette also return with a fierce no shit taking Neve Campbell. As for the new kids a cool ass Hayden Panitierre steals all of her scenes, with a hilarious Emma Roberts, a solid Rory Culkin and sexy ass Nico Tortorella. Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Allison Brie, Marley Shelton, Anthony Anderson, cutie Adam Brody and Mary Mcdonell. Although not the best entry or sequel in the franchise it's an ambitiously entertaining horror fest. It without a doubt has the most clever opening of the series and has an intriguing and disturbing start of what could have been a new amazing trilogy. Sadly Wes Craven wasn't doing well while filming it but finally all these layers it's being resurrected by Blumhouse "Halloween" style without my idol Kevin Williamson and without Craven which I'm not too excited about. That being said this is a criminally under rated sequel that's finally getting the love it deserves.
