Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER
Review: THERE ARE NO SPOLIERS IN THIS REVIEW!

There's really only one word to describe Scream 3 and that is "wow"! I was one of the first to see this movie in Ireland. I was already a fan of the first two. Contrary to what most people say I think Scream 2 was better than the first chapter. I knew this one would be even better--and it was without a doubt for MANY reasons. Firstly, Ehren Kruger wrote the screenplay. I remember seeing Arlington Road and saying to myself "God, if Kevin was to drop off writing duties on Scream 3 then this is the man to take over" and I have to say the Weinstein Brothers couldn't have made a better choice. Kevin Williamson is my favorite screenwriter (Tarantino second and Kruger third) but I don't think that even Kevin Williamson would have brought the originality to this final chpater like Ehren did. The whole style of the movie was different yet familiar and in that way it allows the audience to remember it's watching a Scream movie without saying "Hey, I've seen that before." The whole voice distortion thing was ingenious and the opening scene was the best ever! OH MY GOD. Who would have guessed? And it was sooooo suspenseful and well done that my jaw was on the cinema floor. Everything is either scary, thrilling, controverisl or funny all the way down to the inevitable blood-sluiced-slide down to the unmasking. As Ehren Kruger said himself--it is a little like Scooby Doo (but in the fun way). The cinematography was top-notch (great colors, framing and of course those famous hint-hints to the audience where the camera favors a certain character and immediatley makes him/her a suspect.) The DP Peter Deming and Editor Patrick Lussier worked well together and I think their work is fantastic, especially on this film. The pacing was well-maintained (another Kruger touch which is evident in his films) and keeps you guessing about the identity of the killers until the very end. And it's NOT just one of those He/She/They-takes-of-the-mask-and-gives-any-ol' motive. The ending not only relates to Scream 3 but also to the first movie. When the killer(s) is/are finally revealed you say to yourself "Wow. That's smart." Craven, Kruger, Maddelena, Williamson and Co. couldn't have done a better job. The score is frightening to say the least and the characters are well cast and developed and are very very very very funny especially Jennifer's character (Parker Posey) and Tyson Fox (Deon Richmond) and Jennifer's bodyguard Steven Stone manages to raise a FEW healthy laughs every time he pops up on screen. Patrick Dempsey's character Detective Mark Kincaid (cool name) is superb as the detective who takes over the Stab 3 case and the chemistry that takes place between Campbell and him is electric (especially in a scene in his office where he talks to Sidney about her mother and both their lives). Kincaid's partner J. Wallace is like a light version of Chandler Bing who is relaxed as hell and so sarcastic he's funny. Liev Schreiber (I love this man) is a welcome addition to the cast, returning as Cotton Weary, the man who was once framed for the murder of Maureen Prescott (Sidney's mother) in Scream but was later exonerated. Cotton is now the host of the country's "No. 1 nationally syndicated talk-show" and has a beautiful girlfriend Christine (Kelly Rutherford from Melrose Place) who is never quiet sure whether she can trust Cotton or not. Parker Posey is hilarious as the actress Jennifer Jolie who portrays Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette) in STAB 3. And Dewey Riley (David Arquette) returns as the technical advisor on the set of STAB 3 and also happens to be Jennifer's boyfriend which Gale is not so happy about. This love triangle gives rise to some hilarious and unforgettable movie moments. Jenny Mc Carthy is also great (for a change) as Sarah Darling, who's just an actress in STAB 3. Sarah's scenes are like a story on its own. It's like a look into an actresses life in Hollywood and how they're typecast immediately. Luckily for McCarthy, she was able to break free of being typecast and shows that she can in fact act. Emily Mortimer is great as Angelina Tyler, the "young, sweet, ingenue" who plays Sidney in STAB 3 and Matthew Keeslar is fantastic as Tom Prinze, the actor who plays Dewey as is Scott Foley's character Roman Bridger (I'll probably change my name to this) as the director of Stab 3: Return To Woodsboro who is paranoid about his film being "killed" and his neurosis about it is funny too. When the characters who play other characters in Stab 3 meet up the result is instantaneously hilarious. This also provides extra space for Kruger to point the finger of suspicion at EVERY character (this is not an understatement). But don't be fooled by the well-meaning demeanor of most characters. You need to look beyond the facade of most characters to see the truth (Kruger is a master of this). Oh, I almost forgot, the cameos. Randy Meeks, who died in Scream 2 is back. How? His sister Martha (Heather Matarazzo) brings Sidney, Gale and Dewey a video of Randy explaining the rules of the trilogy which he made before he died. All will be revealed when you watch the movie. It's NOT predictable either--far from it. I loved the ending especially. I don't want to say much about the killer(s) motives so I'll move onto the last sequence in the movie which was so well done that I'm jealous of Craven's talent. If you don't BUY this film then you're simply a fool. Yes, a FOOL--because this is without a doubt not only the best horror film of all time but is a worthy entry into any film fan's Top Ten...or even Top Five Best Movies Of All Time. I saw it 8 times in the cinema and have it ordered from Amazon.com on DVD and will receive it next week (great service) and you can bet your bottom dollar (or pound in my case) that I will be waiting to attack the postman before he hops off his bike. Can't wait to see it again..and again..and again...and again and I'm not crazy by the way.

Summary: This movie was downhill from Scream & Scream 2
Review: I am sorry to say that I was really disappointed that this movie did not deliver. The plot could've worked well if the actors could've worked with it. Their performances were just so campy! This movie could have been much better but it just seemed like the actors were not interested in their parts. Except for maybe Parker Posey. Courtney Cox & David Arquette seemed bored. As for Neve Campbell - it doesn't look like she wanted to do this movie. I don't blame her one bit given her castmates' performances.

I really enjoyed Scream & thought that Scream 2 was pretty good as well. I was actually looking forward to seeing Scream 3. But to no avail.

The only reason this DVD gets three stars is because of all of the extras on it. Bloopers, Deleted Scenes, Lots of extras - I actually haven't had a chance to go through all of them yet. Movie rates a 2. DVD rates a 4.

Save your money - rent it - don't buy it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scream3, The weak link to a great story!
Review: Talk about weak links, Scream 3 falls short due to the absense of Kevin Williamson. The first two were incredible but S3 doesn't seem to catch the same energy the first two had. I bought this movie because it ties up all the loose ends of the story. As for the actors, I love Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox. Parker Posey needs to do more movies she is awesome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most exilirating SCREAM movie yet!
Review: The first scream: great. The second scream: good. Scream 3: FANTASTIC!

It starts almost where the first one left off: the making of a stab movie. The killer (best killer and motive yet) trying to find Sydney Prescott, who has gone into a life of seclusion. While attempting to kill off old characters (and new ones as well) a steady plot is forming with an explosive ending. No matter WHO you are you won't be able to guess the unforgettable identity of this excellent killer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Scream 3 rules!
Review: after enjoying the other 2 screams,this one topped them off!forget what happened in the first 2,this one changes them all!if your in for a good slasher flick,this is the one 2c!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A clever conclusion to a great trilogy
Review: I have seen all of the Scream films, and I must say that I am very impressed with the writing. I've always been a fan of horror movies but let's face the fact that horror movies today are trash, except for Scream. Whoa, what a great conclusion to a trilogy! Scream 3 has some surprises for the viewer. The killer (or killers) doesn't play by the rules, which is not a good thing for Sidney (Neve Campbell), Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale (Courteney Cox). Sidney hides in the woods, but then she decides to face the music. There are some phat twists and turns in the film, and it is chillingly fun. The actors were great, especially Campbell. But I enjoyed Parker Posey's portrayal of the actress who plays Gale Weathers in Stab 3; she's hilarious. Anyway, this film concludes a very impressive trilogy. To be honest, I don't like teen-slasher films, but this film is too clever to resist. I highly recommend it! Oh, by the way, if you haven't seen the first two Scream films, I suggest you watch them before this one, otherwise you'll be lost.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCARIEST AND MOST ENTERTAING SCREAM! BEST MOVIE AROUND!
Review: Scream 3 is downright PERFECT! The movie is full of suprises and humor because of Parker Posey. This is the scariest of the trilogy and well thought. The actors did an excellent job! Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette return to make the murders stop and put the terror to an end. Gory killings and non-stop suspense make this the BEST SCREAM of the ALL. The DVD is EXCELLENT with all those extra features. You better buy SCREAM 3 right now! A++++++++++++++

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Trilogy
Review: Scream 3 is the best Scream sequel. It's way better than Scream 2, but it's no better than the classic Scream. This film is frightful, scary, and non-stop fun for horror fans. Of course Scream 3 and Scream are a lot alike, and are the best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Finale to the Trilogy!
Review: Scream 3 is better than the 2nd of the three movies, and has an excellent cast. David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Patrick Dempsey, Jenny McCarthy, Lars Henrickson, just to name a few. There are a lot of twists and turns in this one. Wes Craven certainly knows how to do this type of movie the right way. If you enjoyed the first two Scream Movies, dont miss this! Its fun, its hip and its scary. Check it out!

Rating: 2 stars
