Summary: Not Scary but exciting
Review: This is one of the better screams out of the two. There is less gore but more myster to it. I think the director(Wes Craven) was going for more laughs than screams. You're always guessing how many killers there are, and where there calling from ,who they are, and it's real shocking at the end when you find out who the killer really is. Then you'll wan't to watch it again for all the clues they give you throught out the movie. This is an amazing and scary film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Scary Final Chapter
Review: This movie was really good. I personally wished that Kevin Williamson would have wrote the script. But it stayed within the usual scream-worthy plot. This movie gives you a look at some darker chapters of Sidney's mom's past; which lead to the brilliant ending. If you liked the first 2 fillms you must see this final chapter to the trilogy. So snuggle up with your popcorn and watch this great film!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: STOP WHILE YOU CAN
Review: A suggestion to the producers of this trilogy: I suggest this was the last movie made. Otherwise, the series and characters will run the risk of becoming ridiculous (as happened with "Friday 13th). The plot here is obviously worst than the two first movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OKAY END TO MEDIOCRE SERIES
Review: This threequel massively improves over Scream 2. But that ain't exactly hard. The photography and direction are still very bad but Ehren Kruger's script has a few neat ideas. Unfortunately these idea are ignored in favor of ultra-cheap scares backed up by a lethally loud soundtrack. How many of these sub-genre flicks are going to resort to these cheap tricks?

After a pointless, and very long opening, the film relocates from a college campus to Hollywood. The members of the STAB 3 cast are being killed by the masked one and the gratingly awful and highly cliched "who's the killer?" conversations follow.

People are chased down dark corridors...again. And loud noise, that is apparently music, attacks our inner ears and numbs our brains. In-jokes are lazy and not funny. Lance Henrikson is only in it for 2 seconds. And it gets quite boring. The only reason to watch this is the few decent ideas that are never realized or developed.

The DVD is in Dolby 5.1 and is anamorphically enhanced at 2.35:1.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Still entertaining, but running low on fuel
Review: Wes Craven has produced another entertaining, high budget horror movie in the third of what is now a trilogy. The film professes an end to the sequels, but at $100 million average box office per movie, frankly I'm skeptical. The first three "Friday the 13th" movies didn't gross $100 million between them, and now twenty years later, they are producing number ten.

This film didn't traverse any new ground, continuing from "Scream 2" with the movie within a movie concept. Though Craven still presents a droll and effective story, he has stopped innovating. He simply continues to present us with good but jaded themes.

It seems the gore has been toned down for this film, which is probably not a bad thing. The story answered all sorts of questions about the first film that no one had. I suppose they needed to create questions so they could make a movie to answer them. I didn't find Ehren Kruger's writing to be up to the standard set by Kevin Williamson. Williamson's humor was much more sophisticated and astute whereas Kruger settled for low brow sarcastic sniping and tongue in cheek humor.

The whole cast delivered a collectively enjoyable performance, although with the paranoid and overwrought way that Sidney was written, Neve Campbell couldn't have had much fun. Courtney Cox was funny and flaky as ever as Gale Weathers as was hubby David Arquette. The rest of the ensemble including Patrick Dempsey, Emily Mortimer, Liev Schreiber, Scott Foley, Parker Posey and a host of other victims all did a terrific job.

I enjoyed this slightly more than Scream 2, but much less than the original. I rated it a 7/10. Craven's once fresh approach to horror is still good, but it is starting to get threadbare. If there is going to be a fourth installment in the trilogy (would that be a quadology?), Craven needs to get creative again and take the genre to the next level or risk running out of gas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horror And Sci Fi Awards Rating
Review: Scream 3 gets four stars out of four. Scream 3 is the best Scream of all and has a edge of your seat conclusion. The film was well done, and well made and completes the trilogy. But I herd that Miramax Films is planning Scream 4-7! I wouldn't count on seeing those. Scream 3 Dvd features are excellent for a film as new and like it's self the auiod and vedio is superb! I recommend you buy it, and not rent it because no horror collection is not complete unless they have this film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Scream 3:Not Even A Sound
Review: I wanted to like this movie so much when it came out in theaters. I really did. However, Scream 3 is not even close to the quality,laughs,and fun of the first two movies.

Neve Campbell has had the same expression on her face throughout the trilogy, and even though I loved her on "Party Of Five", he acting is getting bland. Courtney Cox looks like she hasn't eaten in months, and actually looks scarier than the masked killer. The new cast members like Jenny McCarthy and Parker Posey are very fogettable in bland supporting roles. I had high hopes for Parker Posey, but she better stick to art house movies.

The only minor saving grace is David Arquette. He actaully breathes new life into his deputy character. The ending, I won't spoil, but is so far fetched that you will be left shaking your head. I was hoping that the triology would go out with a scream instead of a whimper...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The most insipid horror movie since "I Know...Last Summer 2"
Review: This movie is basically an intelligence test: If you liked it, have your head examined. As a fan of horror movies, I am sickened that this movie was released, let alone somehow enjoyed by some people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF OUR FINEST MOVIES!
Review: It's literally impossible to express in 1000 words or less how good Scream 3 is. But I'll try my best. Here goes...

Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), after surviving The Windsor College murders a few years ago is now living in quiet seclusion in the picturesque mountains, far far away from any knife wielding psychopath with a ghost mask...or even her old friends. In fact, she has no friends--the only person she talks to is her father and she has Dewey Riley's phone number just in case. Meanwhile, down in Hollywood Roman Bridger (Scott Foley) and John Milton (Lance Henriksen) are making STAB 3: Return to Woodsboro, the final chapter in the STAB trilogy. But when it's cast members begin to get knocked off one by one in the order their characters die in the script the movie is shut down. With actors out of work only one question remains--who's doing this..and why? Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) are also back to help out Detective Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey) to help out with the case. When Sidney is drawn out of hiding to do some helping of her own and try yo lessen the body count all hell breaks loose all the way down to the inevitable showdown and unmasking of the killer/s and what a surprise it is!!

Screenwriter Ehren Kruger (Arlington Road) and director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) have done a wonderful job in scaring their audience half to death and then making them laugh until another scream erupts. The score is great, the cinematography is excellent, the acting is top notch, it's so funny...should I go on? Oh yeah, one more thing--the extras on this DVD include Outtakes which are quiet frankly hilarious, Deleted scenes--ummm yummy!! Creed's What If music video is great as is an Alternate Ending and best of all...Audio Commentary with Wes Craven, Patrick Lussier (the editor) and Marriane Maddalena (one of the producers).

Get out there and buy this DVD now...you WON'T REGRET IT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
