Doesn’t feel like other Kevin Williamson movies at all


Like
The movie but it’s weird how different this is from other Williamson movies at the time like Scream and The Faculty . Not a hint of self awareness at all and barely any humor.


It’s also kind of funny to see the differences between the Sidney Prescott cha character and Julie James here. Sidney is a proactive character that has went on to the be considered one of the iconic movie female badasses while Julie spends the whole climax screaming and running. Not saying that approach is bad but very interesting that they are from the same writer

Apparently this was an earlier KW script. It’s much more rote and vanilla, and dumb. My guess is that Scream made him a hot talent and while he was writing Scream 2 studios were like ‘what else you got?’ and he tossed them this half-baked novel adaptation from his sophomore year at film school.
