Movie: Scream 2 There is much to enjoy about Scream 2 but Neve Campbell's performance as Cassandra isn't one of them. However, there is a lot to like about the director's filming and editing of the scene in which Cassandra and Neve Campbell quite literally go mad before our eyes. Neve Campbell sees -- or thinks she sees -- the modern incarnation of a fury: the (now) famous mask of the Screamer from Edvard Munch's painting The Scream. At the very moment in which Neve begins her hallucination (if it is a hallucination), the camera engages in a series of jump cuts and trick angles, all of which designed to invoke the reaction of, well, screaming, both from Neve and the audience. What's brilliant about this scene is that the hallucination suits both Neve and Cassandra: at the very moment Troy falls, Cassandra can foretell her own death -- and thereby goes mad. It's worth noting that the chorus here preserves some notion of how an ancient chorus might really have performed: masked, with highly stylized dance movements, and the text recited with one voice. Alas, we miss the music of an ancient production, but one can't rely on Hollywood for everything.
