Editorial Review

By FindEdition Cinema Desk

6.4 /10

Sidney returns

Neve Campbell gives the sequel emotional weight by placing Sidney's family at the center of the danger.

Ghostface formula

The film delivers familiar chases and franchise callbacks, though the mystery is less inventive than the strongest entries.

Pros

  • Neve Campbell's return
  • Strong franchise nostalgia
  • Effective chase sequences

Cons

  • Predictable mystery
  • Uneven screenplay
Verdict A commercially successful but uneven return to Sidney Prescott's story.
