3½ stars out of 4

Sydney ( NEVE CAMPBELL) and her friends are once again stalked by some
prick in a Mr. Ghostface costume; only this time the rules of survival
are to avoid doing what victims normally find themselves doing in movie
sequels. Writer KEVIN WILLIAMSON and director WES CRAVEN once again mix
suspense and dark humour to maximum effect; producing a sequel that is
thoroughly satisfying from start to finish. A standout scene is one where
Sydney and her friend are helplessly trapped in the backseat of a crashed
police car; with the stalker unconscious in the driver's seat. Watching
them trying to get of out that jam has got to rank as one of the most
tension-filled moments in recent film history. Although I have to admit
the ending was pretty uninspiring; the movie more than makes up for it
with its combination of pretty faces (including series newcomers JADA
PINKETT, SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR and REBECCA GAYHEART), first-rate suspense
and witty, Generation-X-tailored dialogue.
