What Parents Need to Know
About Scream 2
Parents need to know that, while the carnage isn't as extreme as it was in the first SCREAM, bloodshed and stabbings are still abundant. So is foul language, and a portrayal of a college campus environment as a place where nobody ever seems to be caught studying, just partying and pledging fraternities and sororities.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the sneaky way the script talks up the effects of violence in the media upon society (even the killer's secret game plan involves the controversy), but indulges in the same violence. Is SCREAM 2 making a serious point about the negative effects of screen terror, or just pretending to while it becomes a thrill-ride massacre itself?

A worthy follow up to the original masterpiece.
Scream 2 is a great follow up to the original masterpiece in every way. Now two years after the series of brutal crimes is back again, but this time it's happening in a different location and the kills might have a link to the previous kills committed in the first film. I have to say the sequel was really great. We had our favorite stars from the original such as Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, and Jamie Kennedy. Also, the same directors and writers are back again with Scream. It's bloodier, it's gorier, it's scarier. What more could you ask? I also appreciated that they cut down on the suggestive dialogue from the original and went straight to the point with the murders. Fans of the original Scream will not be disappointed. For sexual content, a couple is about to have an affair. You see a female taking off her coat. But they are interrupted. Some sexual references and innuendoes. For violence/gore there are numerous amounts of killings and stabbings, mostly committed by the killer. In the opening scene a man is in a bathroom stall and he gets impaled in his right cheek with a knife, from the next bathroom stall. A woman is stabbed around seven times in a theatre and you hear screaming and see gashes of blood. In another scene, a woman is shot in the head numerous times. A woman is stabbed several times in the abdomen and thrown off a balcony. A man is stabbed several times in the arm, but he survives. A man is seen slammed against a wall and you see blood coming out. A woman shoots a man and you see gashes of blood. Many other violent scenes should be noted. For profanity, there are around 20 f words and it's derivatives, there are some s words, a words, uses of blasphemy, name-calling, b words, reference to "bang", mild profanes such as damn and hell. For consumerism, a woman watches the horror movie "Nosferatu". Characters constantly make references to old horror films. Characters get the "Ghostface" costume during a premiere of a film called "Stab". For drug content, characters drink and smoke, especially at a party being held. I would recommend this film to people that can stomach some bloody violence and that can take multiple swear words. There really is no sexual content, just some innuendoes. For violence, there are multiple scenes of the killer stabbing people to death. There are really no "positive" role models and it sends a bad message. Despite that, Scream 2 is a blast.

Awesome sequel to the best Slasher/Thriller movie series in the wo-universe
The second Scream is almost as good as the first one. It has a great plot, and I would have NEVER guessed who the killer(s? O:) ) was. I recommend EVERYONE at least 12/13ish watch this. The violence is here, though not as bad as the first, it's still gruesome. A spike goes through a man's skull, a girl is stabbed then thrown off a four story building, a man is drugged, captured, tied to a pole, and shot. Many vicious stabbings, and a woman's throat is slit. They say MANY bad words, including the FBomb, + many others. Great movie, bad content for younger children

Scream 2
This is one of my favorite sequels. I love how they turn a classic horror spoof and then spoof horror sequels. I say that this movie is for 15+

I LOVED IT!
although in this movie there were twice as many killings as in the original SCREAM, the killings were way more violent in the original. the most violent death in the original was when the killer gutted his victims and when the girls neck snapped when the elevator door went up. in this movie the most violent death is accidental (kind of) when a man is impaled by a pole when a car crashes into a construction site. as i said before, the deaths are double in number in this movie. However they are not as brutal. the swearing is i think a little less than the original and the sex is almost none. just one kissing scene between Gale Weathers, the reporter, and Dewey, the cop. i loved this movie!
