Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has a lot on her plate. Its hard enough to be a teenager coming of age in todays world, let alone have a boyfriend (Skeet Ulrich) with raging hormones, a father whos life is one business trip after another - and still feel healthy when your mother was brutally murdered one year ago. Just when things start to be getting back to normal for Sidney and her friends, the small town of Woodsboro is once again plagued by a killer. Someone who is taking their love of scary movies one step too far. To survive they must follow the golden movie rules - don't answer the phone, don't leave the house, but most of all don't SCREAM.
