1. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s tits
2. The rest of Jennifer Love Hewitt. She’s so hot it’s ridiculous.
3. All of Sarah Michelle Gellar
4. OK horror movie

It’s a so-so horror trying to capitalise on the craze started by the far superior Scream. Interestingly, its strength comes from the mystery and the guilt-ridden purgatory that the group find themselves in. As a horror it’s actually quite tame, with far less gore and menace than Scream.

Unfortunately the reveal is uninspired and muddled, nothing like the twisted revelations at the end of Scream. It was actually an earlier script from Kevin Williamson and it lacks the wit and cunning of his Screamplays, playing it much more straight.

But, the cast are a treat, and it’s nice to see a horror from that great era when the filmmakers had some respect for the intelligence of the audience and, of course, no insulting woke agenda.

Yeah, it is really just pretty girls, at least for me, I am not impressed by anything else.

Ryan Phillippe was the funniest part of this movie.. Dude had me in stitches when they hit that guy and he lost his shit over his BMW being damaged more than caring about the fishermen they just ran over.. LOL

Jennifer Love Hewitt was certainly pretty spectacular here.

Indeed. That’s the one area that I Know beats Scream - cast hotness.

I wouldn’t change the casting of Scream because it’s perfect, but between a threesome with Hewitt and Geller or Campbell and McGowan? HewGel wins every time.

5. You're the new horror fan on the block and want to see all the classics.

Well the movie kinda sucks, but it's a masterpiece compared to the sequels. The 3rd movie is so bad you should watch it because it's the perfectly example of how NOT to make a sequel.
