SCREAM 2

Two years after the first series of murders, as Sidney acclimates to college life, someone donning the Ghostface costume begins a new string of killings.

While it starts out with a surprisingly good prologue, the film quickly falls into all the clichés it makes fun of, proving that even they have to follow these "rules".

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Paramount Pictures have released Wes Craven's film on 4K UHD physical disc. It features a good 2.35:1 Dolby Vision and HDR10 transfer using a H.265 codec at about 59 Mbps. Its nothing exceptional as the film never looked great to start with anyway but this is the best version ever for home viewing. The main English audio track is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48kHz, 24-bit), which sounds good. Multiples other audio tracks in French, Spanish, German are available. There's also English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Korean, Norwegian and Swedish subtitles options.

This is a two discs edition that comes with a digital code. Both the 4K UHD and Blu-ray disc feature a commentary track with Director Wes Craven, Producer Marianne Maddalena and Editor Patrick Lussier. The Blu-ray disc features Deleted Scenes (with optional commentary by Director Wes Craven, Producer Marianne Maddalena and Editor Patrick Lussier), Outtakes, Featurette, two music videos, Theatrical trailer and TV spots. It comes in a beautiful steelbook case with a slipcover for the original pressing only that completes this must own edition for fans of the film.
