Scream Trilogy - Boxed Set

Summary: pretty lame....not impressed
Review: don't get me wrong the first scream movie is somehwat entertaining, but the other are pretty lame. I also blame scream for influencing a string of more bad movies like urban legend, I "still know what you did last summer series"....the list goes on... I mean who would purchase this feminine box set. The sequels are a mess, jamie kennedy is a fruit cake, and neve campbell doesn't even get naked!! Not entertaining! These type of horror movies are mostly enjoyed by the 13 year old girl genre. People giving this box set 5 stars must know nothing of good quality horror flicks.Overall pretty repetitive and boring...first one is decent..

Summary: "Showgirls. Absolutely Terrifying."
Review: The 'Scream' trilogy is a series of films that defined the 90s generation. They are also one of the most clever entries in the horror genre and continue to entertain on repeated viewings.

Scream-- The one that began an onslaught of rip-offs and bad self-referential horror movies. No one can top this, though. It was one of the most original ideas and everyone my age or so remembers how this came from out of nowhere and blew us all away. For the uninformed, it's a slasher movie that recognizes the cliches and literally lists off what you're not supposed to do in a horror movie just as the actual characters in the movie break their own rules. The opening of this film is still one of the most disturbing openings of a horror film ever.

Scream 2-- The sequel that improves over the original in terms of humor, scares, characters, everything. A new killer is copying the murders of the previous film, making his/her own real-life "sequel" to the previous events. Sidney is in college now, and she and all her friends are still targets in the mayhem. There's more action, more suspense, more gore, etc, which suit Randy's rules of a sequel, stated within the film.

Scream 3-- This one is not as good as the previous two, but still is a nice closing to the series that answers all questions. The humor is not as funny in this one, and the idea feels a little tired, but it's still enjoyable. This one tends to take itself more seriously, though it didn't need to, and because the film tries to answer everything to close up nicely, it feels "stuffed".

Horror buffs, take note! You'll have plenty to enjoy about this series. Watch them..."You're not scared, are you?"

Summary: BEST ACTION/HORROR FLICK MADE IN 2000!
Review: These three films defined the nineties. Anyone who says they were like getting hit in the balls three times, is either too young to remember when they came out or just 'shock factor' horror flicks, which seems to be the only kind now-a-days. Scream was the first horror movie I had ever watched. I was 16 when it came out and saw it three times in the cinemas. I saw Scream 2 twice and Scream 3 once. These flix had just enough suspense, gore, and mystery about them to be films one could watch repeatedly. I do believe the first two were better than the last, however, the last provided a solid and definate end to the series. I believe the Trilogy has much more class than the watered down, beaten dead horse movies like Nightmare on Elm St. and Halloween. Those movies took great stories and beat them to the point that they were completely unbelieveable. The Scream Trilogy, however was very possible because the killers were real humans. That's what made the movies great. That's what made them classics. And that's why this set deserves five stars.

Summary: It's like being kicked in the balls three times in a row
Review: If you ever were curious on how to make a bad movie worse then make THAT movie even worse then you should pick up the Scream box set. Everyone else should skip it.

Scream 1: Wes Craven, who also made the infinitely superior film Deadly Friend, decided to make a formulmatic piece of pop culture garbage, stick whichever hollywood skank was considered to be hot at the time, and then market the holy hell out of it. This movie is about Nev Campbell who plays a real prude in this movie. She won't put out for her boyfriend/mass murderer. She spouts out some garbage about having a "PG-13 relationship." If some broad tried that on me I'd try to kill her and all of her friends too. ANyway, David Arquette (AKA the posterboy for Downs Syndrome) plays a cop and for some reason he doesn't die. I mean Wes won me over by killing off that fat pig Drew Barrymore, but Arquette should have bit the dust, too. Speaking of that coke-snorting slob, drew barrymore, you want to see a REALLY scary movie? Watch Charlie's Angels 2. It's not so much the movie itself that's scary but rather the fact that it got made. Charlie's Angels 2 is and indictment against American Society. Plus it has Bernie Mac in it. Anyway, Nev finds out that her boyfriend and the guy who played Shaggy in the scooby doo movie were killing people. Nev smashes a tv in shaggy's face and kills her boyfriend, too after he has sex with her.

Scream 2: Nev Campbell is in college now and she's probably one of those girls in college who goes to femenism meetings and doesn't shave her armpits. Now her boyfriend's mom tries to kill her. Lots of people die, but David Arquette ONCE AGAIN survives. Some sassy cameraman dies too. So does Seth Green who played a wigger in the movie Can't HArdly Wait, which is one of the few movies worse than the scream trilogy. Nev kills the badguys again at the end.

Scream 3: Does anyone else notice how Courtney Cox gets uglier and uglier as the trilogy progresses? Each movie she's uglier. now we find out that Nev Campbell's mom was in porno and her brother tries to kill her. At the end we get more "girlpower" BS as Nev Campbell beats up everybody. The best thing about this one is that no more Scream movies were made after this one.

One infuriating thing that Wes Craven does is sell these stupid movies as parodies of themselves. That's why all of the horror cliches are present. So, basically it's just an excuse for the studio to crank out generic movies with tired plots under the guise of mocking other horror movies.

The plus side: these movies are better than Head of State.
