LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Scream 2 (1997) in Movies
May 9, 2020
It's still very self aware, it's gory, and retains the comedic edge nicely.
Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Jamie Kennedy all return for another round, and are just as likable as they were before. This cast clearly enjoyed their time making these films, and they are joined by the like of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Jerry O'Connell. A pretty solid cast all in all.
Ghostface continues to be a bizzarre icon in the horror genre, managing to be unsettling, and subtly ludicrous at the same time. The way that he stumbles and crashes into things whilst chasing people lends a pretty psychotic edge to his potentially goofy asthethic.
The plot predictably becomes rather silly towards the climax, but honestly, I can't really complain. Scream 2 is really fun follow up to a horror classic and deserves the praise it gets.

Cruel ( Savannah Heirs 1)
By Raven Kennedy & Coralee June
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve got a secret.
Savannah, Georgia is full of debutantes and greed. The Heirs own this town. They own me, too.
I don’t know what I did to ruin what we had. But their kindness turned cruel almost a year ago. I was prepared to leave it all behind and start over at a new school. But Rogue Kelly, the king of the Heirs, ruined that.
He doesn’t want me anymore but doesn’t want anyone else to have me either. I know too much to be set free, but not enough to stay.
The Heirs aren’t through with me yet. And I crave their cruelty too much to give up now.
When I first started reading this I honestly thought it would be a DNF but I was pleasantly surprised I actually liked it. I liked the story it had some bite reminded me a little of Penelope Douglas books. Not a bad read.
