The slasher sequel screams its way to the Ultra HD campus with a generally satisfying and overall excellent HEVC H.265 encode, offering a nice step-up from its Blu-ray predecessor but is not the sort of night-and-day difference expected.

For a number of reasons Scream has become ingrained in our popular culture and, for better or worse, has endured as a horror classic. Scream 2 adheres to the same formula as its predecessor, leapfrogging from the events that transpired, in a new setting and involving the central character of Sidney Prescott, now again, being stalked by Ghost Face.

I’ll go on the assumption that the original has been seen, but on the off chance it hasn’t – I won’t ruin anything in this introductory paragraph. thrilled, and there are few UHDs that prove so drastically better than their Blu-ray counterparts as this. Sadly, that speaks to the bad state in which
