The premise

Two years after the Woodsboro murders, Sidney Prescott acclimates to college life while someone donning the Ghostface costume begins a new string of killings.

Horror Vault's take

Sidney Prescott has traded the blood-soaked streets of Woodsboro for a fresh start at college, but the past refuses to stay buried. A new killer in the iconic Ghostface mask is carving a path through campus, and Sidney finds herself once again at the centre of a deadly game. With the rules of sequels up for debate among her film-obsessed friends, the body count climbs and no one is above suspicion. Wes Craven's sharp follow-up keeps its tongue firmly in cheek while delivering genuine scares and a mystery that rewards sharp-eyed viewers.
