Scream 2

(Dimension)

The initial murders of a pair of college students here lack the wit and the mystery of the first Scream -- but matters improve quickly in this Wes Craven effort, as a copycat killer picks up the scent of heroine Neve Campbell and her pals and the bloody circle tightens. Courtney Cox and David Arquette reprise their roles from the original, Sarah Michelle Gellar gets offed in a suitably Buffy-like manner, and the climax recalls the Grand Guignol glories of Vincent Price's American International movies.
