Scream 2 ( film)
Scream 2 is a 1997 film, the second part of the Scream
trilogy.
As with the other films in the trilogy, Scream 2 combines straight forward scares with dialogue that satirizes conventions of slasher films, especially (in this case) slasher film sequels.

Plot
The plot is centered on a group of college friends, an ex-cop and a news reporter as they deal with some mysterious killings that take place after the release of the horror movie Stab, which was inspired by the events of the original film. Many of the survivors from the first movie return to reprise their original roles in this film.
Sidney (Neve Campbell) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) attend Windsor College now. They see on the news that a couple (Jada Pinkett Smith and Omar Epps) were murdered in a movie theatre at the preview of Stab, a movie based on a book by Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) about the Woodsboro murders. They realize that it's starting all over again. Dewey (David Arquette) is hanging around the campus to make sure Sidney's alright. Randy and Dewey talk to each other and explain to each other that anyone could be the killer (known as Ghostface), including themselves.
The killer attempts to kill Sidney, while setting up a copycat ploy. Casey "Cici" Cooper, a sorority girl (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), is the next victim. Randy is the next victim when the killer calls and Gale and Dewey search for where the call is coming from when the killer says he can see them. Randy looks around and is outside of Joel's van when he is unexpectedly pulled into the van in broad daylight and stabbed to death. Officer Andrews and Officer Richards, the detectives who were assigned to protect Sidney, are also killed. Gale and Dewey are caught up in a game of cat and mouse with the killer, resulting in Dewey being stabbed. After being trapped in a cop car that has crashed and narrowly escaping a "tight" squeeze, Hallie (Elise Neal), Sid's roommate, is killed and Sidney heads for the campus theatre.
While in the school theatre, Sidney witnesses the death of her boyfriend Derek. In the final confrontation, the killers are revealed to be Sidney's new boyfriend's best friend, Mickey (Timothy Olyphant), and Mrs. Loomis (Laurie Metcalf), the mother of Sidney's previous boyfriend, Billy, who was one of the two killers in the first film. Mrs. Loomis wanted to kill Sidney as a revenge of killing her son, yet Sidney pointed out to her that if she didn't abandon Billy in the first place he wouldn't have been on his killing spree with Stu. Mrs. Loomis shoots Mickey, removing her accomplice and a potential threat, stating that his motive was completely absurd and that no one would believe it. (Mickey wanted to blame it on the craze that the-film-within-a-film, Stab, had created.)
Before he collapses, Mickey shoots Gale as she is running towards him, causing her to fall off the stage. Sidney is cornered by Mrs. Loomis and tricks her by saying, "Isn't Mickey supposed to be dead?", and when Mrs. Loomis looks, Sidney hits Mrs. Loomis in the face with a prop jar. Sidney then causes the stage to collapse on Mrs. Loomis. Mrs. Loomis survives, and gets Sidney in an arm-lock, and Cotton (played by Liev Schreiber, the man framed for killing Sid's mother) shows up, and picks up Mickey's gun.
Mrs. Loomis tries to convince Cotton to kill Sidney, but Cotton shoots Mrs. Loomis instead. Gale is alive, as the bullet had bounced off one of her ribs. Then Mickey suddenly jumps up and Gale and Sidney shoot him multiple times. Then, Sidney turns around and shoots Mrs. Loomis in the head, killing her outright, "Just in case". It is then revealed that Dewey was alive after, quite literally, being stabbed in the back (while a horrified Gale watched while in a sound studio, unable to hear him cry for help because of sound-proof glass). Gale is overjoyed that he was found alive, and the movie ends with Sidney looking up into the sky and walking away from the scene of the carnage.
