Summary: The screams keep coming!
Review: Now we have Scream 3, YES!! Though it's still not as good as the original, they've added some suspense this time! It's probably because almost every scene is darker, and the climax is in a mansion. Humor doesn't play a big part this time, but that's OK, because were more interested in finding out more about Sidney's unknown life, or at least, her mother's. Overall, this installment was more fun and suspenseful, so I recommend the DVD.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Well, I'm not surprised
Review: As a fan of the SCREAM films I was very anxious to see SCREAM 3, but after my first viewing I realized Randy was right all along when he said "Sequals' suck." This was not a good or clever way to end the trilogy. SCREAM set the standard for horror films in the 90's(yes I know its 2001). SCREAM 2 continued that legacy and was as good as the original. But SCREAM 3 ultimately became the movie they mocked.

The Plot: After the success of the first two STAB films, based on the events in SCREAM 1 & 2, the studio(Sunrise Studios) is releasing STAB 3:Return To Woodsboro. But cast members begin dying in the order they die in script and production is shut down. Sidney, working as a womens crisis counselor, is living as a recluse in Monterey and goes by the name Laura (take off the 'a' and add an 'ie' and you have Laurie as in Laurie Strode, Jamie Lee Curtis in HALLOWEEN). She is eventually lured out of hiding and discovers that some secrets can't stay buried. The killer, for reasons I wont reveal, keeps leaving pictures of Sidney's mother(Maureen Prescott) at the scene of each murder. The pictures were taken over twenty years ago at the same studio STAB 3 is filming. After many unnecessary killings, we find out who's behind the mask and yet it's not much of a surprise. It's more of a disappointment. I kept waiting for another killer to pop out. If you're really paying attention you can figure out who it is.

There are some good things about the film such as, the opening scene, the cameos(Carrie Fisher, Jay & Silent Bob from MALLRATS, and legendary film maker Roger Corman). And Parker Posey is hilarious as Jennifer Jolie, the actress playing Gale in the STAB films, who's background sounds very familiar to that of Jennifer Aniston. Listen for the 'Must See TV' and Brad Pitt joke. I also liked that the film was set in Hollywood. Still, this wasn't enough to save the film.

I only recommend SCREAM 3 if you're a fan of the first two. But I warn you it's a serious let down. It lacks the originality of the previous films and frankly we've seen it all before. Also, there was very little suspense. And in the trailer for the film we're told in the end "all bets are off," to forget the rules, but there are no rules broken in the movie. Unlike so many reviewers I look forward to a SCREAM 4. Maybe Kevin Williamson, the writer of the first two, can come back and fix the damage thats been done.

Summary: A great ending (?) to a marvellous trilogy
Review: Scream 3

Score: 80/100

It was the big question, could Scream 3, the end of the highest-grossing horror franchise in history, live up to its 2 fantastical predecessors? The answer was a very convincing yes. Scream 3 is so hip, cool and watchable that you can't help but love it.

After the terrifying events that occurred around Windsor College, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is now living alone in a secluded Northern California mountainside. Still haunted by her past, frightening images of her dead mother reappear time after time in her head as she tries to get on with her life. She now gives advice, under a fictional name for safety, to women in crisis via telephone. Soon enough though, her comfort turns to fear as she receives a threatening phone call from an anonymous source who informs her on the recent murders committed around the Hollywood set of "Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro, the third and final chapter to the 'Stab' series. Sidney decides to visit the set when she finds out that with every victim, the new killer leaves behind a different photo of Sidney's deceased mother, Maureen Prescott. Eventually the cast of "Stab 3" start dying one by one and more photos of Maureen appear. Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey), an LAPD detective, is sent to investigate the strange murder and becomes friendly with Sidney. Meanwhile, Gale (Courteney Cox Arquette) visits the set of "Stab 3," after she hears of the murders. Ironically, she meets up with Dewey (David Arquette), who is now working behind the film alongside his actress/girlfriend Jennifer (Parker Posey). Gale, Dewey, and Sidney rejoin along with the actors and actresses of "Stab 3," who are all shaken up by the rest of the cast being killed off. As the secret to Sidney's past unfolds, the three discover that in the trilogy, anything can happen.

It's amazing how many bad reviews this superbly timed third chapter got. It's entertaining, it's funny, it's clever, it's got plot and it's got blood, so anything else anyone was expecting from the Scream trilogy was obviously out of their league. The new team and oldie's all co-operate to make Scream 3 successful, and the performances are great, particularly from Campbell and Posey, who light up the screen as Sid and Jennifer. David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette stay on their usual great form, and all the characters come in some use. Scream 3 is also immediately different from the first two films as it has much more cameos, including Kevin Smith creations Jay 'Phat' Buds and Silent Bob, and Carrie Fisher who actually makes a joke about her casting on Star Wars! The film also has a fun, campy feel to it and it knows exactly what it's doing and how to do it.

You may be going 'Oh, whatever!' when the killer finally takes off the mask, nevertheless this is still endlessly inventive and mercilessly entertaining, and must not be missed by all audiences who enjoyed the first two films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sensational!
Review: Scream 3 is definately a movie to remember! It's better than Scream 2. It is very well-written and Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette do outstanding performances. The whole cast is really great. I liked how they finally took it to Hollywood! I was surprised when I found out who the killer was. I'm glad they added bonus features! (Although I cannot figure out where the Creed music video is!) Don't hesitate to go ahead and get this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome trilogy
Review: This whole trilogy of Scream are by far the best ever made! I love every one. Get these movies and you will not be disapointed! They are suspensful, humorous, and action packed with scary chases and all of the endings are great. If you like horror movies than get all 3 Screams.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHATS YOUR FAVE SCARY MOVIE?
Review: What can i say this trilogy is a force to be reckoned with. I absolutely love the SCREAM movies and bringing them all together in this boxed set is the best thing they could have done. The first SCREAM is the best and most undoubtibly my fave horror movie. The other 2 movies are great as well, not many sequels are as good as these are. The dvd extras are great, these movies deserve great treatment. Seeing the SCREAM 2 dvd as a collectors Series was great. The bonus dvd is cool as well, with tons of behind the scenes footage and dvd rom features. I love the SCREAM movies and buying this box set was money well spent!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No Rules Broken
Review: This is trailered as the part in which "all bets are off" and " there no more rules". Forget it, it follows all the rules and doesn't break one. After a fantastic opening sequence, it never quite reaches the same pitch again. The first two are still great, but this has no guts at all, you are more likely to be scared eating an hot apple pie. Wait for TV, Tape it, watch the pre-credits sequence and the cameos from Carrie Fisher, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, and dump the rest. It's not scary, it's not violent and it's not funny.

Try Cherry Falls - that's far more fun

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is wack!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scream 3 Review
Review: I think Scream 3 was a great movie. It was scary, cool, and funny at some parts. I think Wes Craven did a fantastic job making a Scream 3. I also think it would be cool if he continued to make some sequels. EXCLLENT JOB WES CRAVEN!!!!!!!
