Summary: A great end for an amazing trilogy!
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The horror, the chills, the laughs, the mystery, all these things make this movie what it is. The acting is very good, and it gets you. Parker Posey is extremely funny in her performance! She made me laugh a lot during the film. Neve Campbell is very good as Sidney Prescott, along David Arquette as the-unforgetable Dewey Riley. Courteney Cox Arquette is great also, she makes a fantastic duo with Parker Posey!(The Gale-Gale Duo). Then we have the "Stab 3 cast" by Jenny McCarthy(as Candy, the bitchy unhappy actress), Matt Kesslar(as Tom Prinze, the teen-idol), Deon Richmond(as Ricky, a Randy-like-alike character) and Emily Mortimer(as Angelina Tyler, the new actress who wants to shine). The scenes are very good planned, Wes Craven did a great job directing the script that Ehren Kruger wrote. If you buy this movie you will not be dissapointed, its fun and entertaining to see. Some will see it again and again. I recommend it to every SCREAM and horror fan, but if you aren't one of those you'll spent a very good time seeing this amazing film!

Summary: WE ALL GO A LITTLE MAD SOMETIMES
Review: The first SCREAM was a sensational, inspired, brilliant hit that was sooo frightening because it was so true to life. The acting was exquisite, and especially tense in the beginning scene with Drew Barrymore. Neve Campbell is excellent as Sidney Prescott, and Skeet Ulrich portrays Billy very well. Jamie Kennedy is great as Randy; Matthew Lillard is a good comedic relief as Stu; David Arquette is excellent as Dewey; Courtney Cox is relishing in her rudeness as Gale; and Rose McGowan is the perfect actress for Tatum. Everything about the first film is basically the definition of perfection in the horror/thriller genre. Then, in part two, the acting is exquisite again, and the horror is so real and terrifying. Not as good as part one, but one of the best sequels I have seen. "Scream 3" has some of the cliched horror movie flaws that make it less believable, but still, very frightening. Good job, Wes Craven. What a brilliant director! Kevin Williamson is an exceptional writer, and everyone involved has done wonderfully. I highly recommend this box set for fans of "SCREAM" and of movies similar to "SCREAM". It has great extra features. There's a whole disc of extra features, including the Making Of all three Screams.

Summary: The pre-cursor for the cheesy teen-horror movies we love!
Review: I loved this movie and not because of the great acting. It sets the standards for the cheesy horror movies we have grown to love as Americans! Before you see any horror movie, you must see these!

Summary: The Ultimate Scream
Review: Scream 3 was extremely breath-taking. This edge-of-your-seat thriller, box-office hit was one of the best horror films ever made. Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street) shines again in this exceptionally, brilliantly directed film. Beautifully scripted, and excellent acting. While Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell: TV's Party Of five, Wild Things, The Craft) lives in safely guarded seclusion, bodies begin to pile up around the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the latest sequel based on the Woodsboro murders. And when the electrifying terror finally brings her out of hiding, Sidney and the other Woodsboro survivors, Deputy Dewey Riley, (David Arquette: Beautiful Girls, Scream) Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette: TV's Friends) join forces against the masked ghostface killer. Featuring newcomers Parker Posey (The House OF Yes, You've Got Mail) who gives us an oscar-worthy performance as Jennifer Jolie, and featuring, great actor, Scott Foley (TV's Felicity) in his film debut as Roman Bridger. Jenny McCarthy gives an awesome, well-acted cameo. I totally recommend this movie to all horror fans, and also to comedy fans. Scream is a slam-bang finish to this exceptionally clever trilogy. It's suspenseful, clever and very entertaining. The most terrifying scream is always the last. Be sure to buy or rent this movie, it's the year's best. This is the film to beat come oscar time.

Summary: Alot better then the 2nd one
Review: Scream 3 is the final chapter of the Scream series, and it finally concludes one of the greatest Horror movie series' ever in my oppinion. This Scream includes the survivors of the last Scream which include Sidney (Neve Campbell), Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox)and old Cotton Weary. At this point in the series' Sidney is out of school and lives with her father, isolated from civilization. She has taken on a new name and works as a person who gives advice to people in need of it. Dewey has become an electrical technician and is now working on the set of Stab 3 (which is based on the first 2 movies but is completely fictional to what really happened). Gale is now a talk show host, and Cotton is also a talk show host for a show called 100% Cotton. After one of these people die (trying to make this spoiler free) Sidney once again realizes that she is not safe. She wonders what will happen if the killer ever finds her. After a call from the new killer Sidney is frightened and after a few daus comes down to the Stab 3 set to find out what's going on.

The new killer has decided to kill everyone involved in the Stab 3 movie in the order that they die in Stab 3. The problem is that (hopefully) his plan will be foiled by the others (Gale, Dewey, Cotton or Sidney).

Screa 3 goes back to it's roots. It goes back further into the life of Sidney's mother and her secret life. It goes more into Dewey and Gale's relationship, and it is (in my oppinion) the scariest of the Scream's. The great thing about Scream 3 is that it doesn't follow the same formula as the other Scream's while still not taking itself seriously enough (remember shoot em in the head or they won't die and they'll be super human! haha). This is in part to the change of writers in the movie. Kevin Williamson doesn't write in this movie but produces the movie instead. I think it was a good change of pace for the Scream movies, and made this one the perfect way to end the series'.

So overall Scream 3 is a great movie, and is a definte buy if you've seen the first two. But it's not exactly like the first two. The movie foccusses more on Dewey and Gale then it does Sidney, which those who saw the first two know that, that wasnt like the last few Scream's. Overall great movie - should definitly get with the box set.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK
Review: Scream 3 is very fun, funny and entertaining through out. But unfortinatly it is not at all scary. If you are in the mood for a fan film to watch with your friends you found it. If you won't an edge of your seat thriller look some place else. Scream 1 and 2 are much better

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scream 3 is the ULTIMATE SCREAM!!!
Review: I must say that Scream 3 is the best movie out of Scream 1 and Scream 2! I have Scream 1 on dvd and now I have Scream 3 on vhs, I just need to buy Scream 2 now ;o)! I saw Scream 2 at a friends house awhile back and it's pretty good but not as good as Scream 3. Scream 3 is much better!!! I totally reccomend you BUY Scream 3!!! It's the ULTIMATE SCREAM!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do you like scary movies?
Review: When I bought this box I had not seen any of the Scream films. Buying it I took a big risk, but I am glad I took it. I am not going to review every single film, I am mainly going to explain pros and cons on buying the box.
Pros
1. No hassle, three films in one, plus bonus disk.
2. Cool collectors booklet, with cool insights.

Cons.
1. The box, tends to wear and tear over time, so if you like to keep a neat well taken care of collection, you may want to buy them seperate.

2. The constant opening, and sliding tends to get old. So if you like hassle free movie watching, you may want to buy them seperate.

As you can see, some may find the box cool, and some may find it high maintnence. The movies are all good, especially the first. If you would like to see all three reviews on the films themselves go to the see more about me area.

Summary: Scream times 3
Review: Scream is the ultimate slasher horror movie. it combines scares with humor and a hot cast. the first scream is spectacular, so was number 2, it just wasnt the original. 3 was good, but not as good as the first too just because another guy wrote it. KEVIN WILLIAMSON!!!!IF ONLY YOU WOULD HAVE DONE SCREAM 3 IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO!!!but anyway, director Wes Craven(Nightmare on Elm Street) is an excellent director, and he is one of the reasons this trilogy is so great.Also, the extras on this 4-disc box set are great. there are gag reels, deleted scenes, trailers, and you can even make a scene of your very own from Scream 3, with different scenes!Also there is a alternate ending to Scream 3, which i didnt see much difference from the theatrical ending, but its still worth checking out. There is also a cast and crew Q&A which is kind of interesting for the mere fact that they are making a scary movie and telling what they like about other scary movies. i would recomend this extrodinary box set to anyone who loves scary movies!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The FINAL Scream - calling all fans - let this be the end!
Review: While Sidney Prescott (from Scream & Scream 2) is hiding out from other copycat psychos in the hills of California, down in the valley of Hollywood, the production of Stab 3 (the fictional film based on the Woodsboro & Windsor College murders that took place in Scream & Scream 2) has run into a bit of a problem- there's a serial killer who has-it-in for the cast.

To SCREAM fans, this is the best any Scream 3 could ever have been. And let it be known, far and wide, that I am a fan.

While some horror fans despise this film series, others have been intelligent enough to see that these Wes Craven films (written by Kevin Williamson and Ehron Krueger) aren't perfect homages- therefore they have every right to be as dramatic or teeny as they often are. Being that, they never lose a second of their integrity. Though each film has it's own minor personal flaws, as a trilogy- these films make for EXCELLENT viewing. They are each both entertaining and smart, and what more are we asking for?

During one scene in Scream 3, a death scene, I felt it was awfully awkward that there was no real blood. And this was quite early in the film. During a later scene, which kind of piled on the deaths in a rather ridiculous manner- I also thought, this is not the way to do it. Since this was the only Scream not written by Kevin Williamson, it's easy to see that these death scenes lack the inventiveness that made the majority of the deaths in the other films so innovating.

Not to mention, the overall fear factor is reduced. This Scream is ruled by a formula we're already used to, and it doesn't try to find ways to distance itself from the all-too familiar situations. The moviemakers involved in this production compact too much professional filmmaking into a movie that would perhaps do better as a kind of experiment- Scream 3 doesn't take enough risks. Sidney Prescott is placed in mortal danger, like before, but that's the formula. It's always apparent that the main characters are going to come out of Scream 3 the same way they did both times before- likely to survive and bounce back in some hopeful way. This Scream does little more than introduce new characters to be killed off, and wrap up the current ones.

But for a formula movie that is, unfortunately, too predictable for the same game- this is a good one. You've heard me say this series is smart. And what's smart about Scream 3 are the characters. They don't make as many mistakes as before, and they don't waste as much time holding reservation with one another. There's no stupid confrontations between Sidney and Gale, we see a more tender side to Gale and Dewey's relationship, we get a decidedly more hardened Sidney- who takes her punches here.

The acting is nothing outstanding, in general, especially when compared to the previous Scream films- but it suits this film. And the story is almost interesting enough. This is a good movie for being what we expect, and for being as smart and human and flawed as this sort of situation might spread itself out in reality.
