Scream 2

In a chilling sequel to the original slasher phenomenon, “Scream 2” plunges viewers back into the heart of Woodsboro, where the horrors of the past loom larger than ever. Following the shocking events of the first film, survivors Sidney Prescott, her best friend Gale Weathers, and hapless yet lovable Dewey Riley are trying to resume their lives, only to realize that the nightmares they faced were only the beginning.

Set against the backdrop of a local college campus hosting a film festival celebrating the very franchise inspired by their ordeal, the trio must navigate sinister echoes of their past as a new killer emerges, mirroring the grisly murders reflected in the film within the film.
