If they never made another Scream movie then this would have been a very fitting ending. Underwater ballet dancer putting on Ghostface mask!Ĭurious, too, that they chose a far more triumphant song choice to accompany the big end credits crane camera move, as opposed to the original which used a much darker track. The video is so deliciously '90s though that I have to love it. Using images of Neve Campbell's Sidney as they sing lyrics about "time isn't fair to a woman her age" and "she's seen better days" and you'll see how much they misread the lyrics. Anyone care to explain? Watch the video below, which features clips from Scream 2 interspersed. Now, what I don't understand is what a song about an aging lush is doing as the big triumphant end scene. I know ranking Collective Soul alongside The Eels is considered sacrilege by many, but I just like it, okay? Reminds me of that great alt-rock period of the 1990s. Along with D'Angelo's "She's Always In My Hair" from the opening scene, and "Your Lucky Day in Hell" by The Eels, Collective Soul's "She Said" is definitely a keeper. Randomly, this song that plays over the beginning of the end credits is, much like in the original, one of my favourite songs from the whole soundtrack. It's not until the climactic scene in the college auditorium that we know who wants to kill Sidney and why.In this project I attempt to review the entire Scream trilogy scene by scene in chronological order. She has a boyfriend and a tight circle of friends - all of whom become suspects when someone starts copycat killing in the style of "Scream 1" killers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Sidney (played by Neve Campbell) is going through one such crisis of trust in "Scream 2." Having moved away from Woodsboro, Sid is attending college.
We've all had our trust betrayed at one point or another, but (especially in the wake of #MeToo) women really vibe with Sidney's constant fear that her boyfriend is secretly planning to murder her. It's always someone Sidney Prescott knows, someone she's been close to while also abusing her trust It's part of what makes the films so resonant. Part of what makes "Scream" so scary as a franchise is that the killer isn't a supernatural being or even a stranger. But not enough credit is given to the mystery of who's hiding behind Ghostface each time. The series has been praised for its meta-commentary, talking about the horror genre while existing within it. What makes the "Scream" series so compelling, in part, is the films' whodunnit element.
