Summary: Scream 3...The End? Hmmm...We Will Never Know!
Review: Scream 3 was a great..chilling movie that entertains you all the way to the end. People think sequels are boring, well guess again! I think Scream 3 was much better than the 2nd one. If you people thought the terror was over...well you are wrong. Wes Craven did a wonderful job directing and it makes you wonder, after watching Scream 3 is the terror really over.. or is it just getting started all over again? Well the answer to that is we will never know until who knows when. In the mean time, sit back relax and enjoy Scream 3! 5 stars all the way!

Summary: AHHHHHHHHHH! One Scream Too Many
Review: The style of Scream 3 is similar to the other two movies in that there are some incredibly helpless victims and a seemingly superhuman killer. The killer is everywhere, seemingly able to move faster than the speed of light and the victims seem to be magnetically drawn to their demises by the sheer stupidity of their actions.(Got that) In other words the killings seem more than ever to be written to occur at a certain time instead of being in any way a surprise.(The killings are very predictable) The standard "Scream" plot twists are thrown at you like eggs on Halloween night.(If you are into that sort of mischief) The confusion mounts as many details are brought to the surface that in the other movies were never mentioned. The ending is a total surprise and seems to come waaaaaay out of left field. I thought the whole way the trilogy of "Scream" came to an end seemed like it was made up during the later stages of the making of "Scream 3". It's one thing to have a surprise ending and its another thing to just make one up that sounds surprising because it has nothing to do with what actually happened previously. You be the judge of whether the way "Scream 3" ended is B.S or a well planned and thought out ending to a trilogy. I think the ending was no more than B.S because there is no evidence to prove otherwise.

Summary: "...Everything you touch dies..."
Review: The words of Sidney Prescott's mom ring throughout this, the final chapter in the Scream Trilogy. Her spectre provides a creepy visage previously missing from the series. This is not to say it is altogether congruent with the rest of the tale. Scream was never about ghosts. Maureen Prescott's appearrance in the final chapter should have been limited to video footage if new screenwriter wanted it to make perfect sense. Otherwise, the movie is a serviceable, if not altogether surprising end to the story. There are several thrilling scenes excellently executed through Craven's direction, but there is a lot more down time in Scream 3 than you would expect in a movie of its kind. The cast, except a remarkably well-cast Patrick Dempsy, acts like they are sleepwalking through the movie. Lance Henriksen was a terrible choice for a movie executive. I just can't see Frank Black falling prey to a whiney punk of a killer. And what in the heck does Sidney Prescott's dad do that he can't hang around to see if his frequently stalked daughter is alright, anyway? Krugher does his best, but he is not Williamson, and it shows. Craven should not have made this movie without him.Another bone of contention is with the DVD packaging and advertising proclaiming that this movie has an additional commentary track with Wes and the Production team, along with Cast & Crew bios and the Creed music video. Nothing doing. They have alternate takes, deleted scenes and a montage of the making of the series (the former two with commentary), but that is it. Then again, mine could be an error. That would be cool, so long as I can buy a copy with Commentary.

Summary: Scream 3
Review: Scream 3 is the final film of the Scream Trilogy. In Scream 3, Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell) realizes that another killer is stalking her when cast members of "Stab 3: Return to Woodsborro" start to get killed. She decides to keep hidden in her well protected home in the mountains, until the killer finds out her hiding place. She then goes to Hollywood, where all the murders are happening, to face the killer. Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox Arquette) and Dwight "Dewey" Riley (David Arquette) have their usual love fling, and they both investigate the murders and the photos that the killer leaves behind after each murder to try to find out who the killer is. So far, the Scream series has been a "slash-'em-up" series with lots of scares and gore. Scream 3 is much different than the other two. Scream 3 is more of a thriller with a "whodunit" plot. Scream 3 definitely doesn't have as many intense murder scenes, and a lot less blood than the other two. The movie ends in a twist that you probably never would have thought of. Scream 3 is rated "R" because of profanity, gore, and violence that may be inappropriate or offensive to young audiences and people who get offended by such matter. Scream 3 is mainly based on events that were in the first Scream, so I advise you watch the first two movies of the trilogy before you go see the third one, otherwise you would be lost. If you saw the first two movies of the trilogy, I suggest you go see Scream 3. It links the events of the other two movies together and makes the whole trilogy make some kind of sense. This movie pretty much answers the question of whether or not their will be a Scream 4. Watch it to find out!

Summary: Kevin Williamson would have written it better
Review: I'll give this movie 3 stars because there is some merit to the film. But, the original screenwriter (Kevin Williamson) would have done a much better job. Instead of taking us on a thrillride of the horror genre, this new screenwriter walks us through the plotlines of the first two flicks. The help video from Randy in the middle of the movie made no sense. It's important to make a great movie, not a great sequel, which is what I felt the writer was trying to do. There is a difference, and it was painfully obvious in this film. Many of the scenes were mediocre at best and did not set up a suspenseful thread like the first two flicks. I wish they would not have done the film at all unless Kevin Williamson wrote it (I guess the initial outline--which he submitted at the same time as his original "Scream" screenplay to the studio--was not enough to carry the movie; maybe the producers thought it would have, but if so then they were way wrong). One good thing about the movie: an appearance by "Silent Bob." I don't think many people knew who he was when I saw this movie in the theater (he's a character from films like "Mallrats" and "Clerks"--if you haven't seen those, well, you should see them right away--they are really funny movies).

Summary: Scary and Hip. . . Better Than the 1st 2
Review: This film makes the Everlasting Saga end. . . Sydney changes her name to Laura. Dewey has gotten over the trauma at Woodsboro and now only limps periodically. Gale is not only calmer but she has definately changes SOME of her ways. A new breed of killer has risen from the saga. This time leaving traces of Sydney's mother behind. Almost every murder someone retrieves a picture of Maureen(AKA 'Rena). A film producer with an obsession of 'Rena. A marauding movie "Gale" (Parker Posey) a hilarious black charactor. And ultimately a very tense opening scene! The amazing part is that this film somehow is following the ever changing rules of the horror movie. This makes a Trilogy. The killer is errie with a vocoder making his voice sound like anyonrd he wants. . . More original than the 2nd film and more tense than any! Great Performances. The DVD is good but i can't seem to make mine full screen and I also think they should have remastered the deleated scenes and alternate endings. The TV spots were all too much the same but were a good addition and the Audio Commentary got a little annoying after 5 minutes (i won't use any audio commentary anytime soon!) The picture is sharp and the sound is great. This is a great film for a great trilogy conclusion!

Summary: A Fitting Ending
Review: Scream 3 is a fitting ending to a trilogy that revived the horror genre. Writer Ehren Kruger (Arlington Road) is thoughtful, provocative and spontaneous. Closure is reached completely with this film. Go into it with an open mind and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Not much to "Scream" about
Review: Scream what a series of films. It all started out as probably one of the best modern horror film series and ends on a kind of downer. With the absence of Kevin Williamson's writing talents this film has a strong lack of scares and suspense. As a HUGE horror film fan I found this film quite dry. What made the first two films great was an enormous amount of scares, wit, and originality that brought the films into a new generation. But like most horror film series the goods have to end sometime. Much like Halloween or Friday the 13th, if the sequels had been kept to a minimum they would have become immortal. Where Scream 3 is concerned it simply offered up nothing new to really be scared by, such as Drew Barrymore's opening phone conversation in Scream or the scene in Scream 2 where Sidney has to crawl over the killer to escape a wrecked car. This film opens with Liev Schreiber's chilling death where the killer seeks info on the whereabouts of the now hiding Sidny Prescot (played very well by Cambell again) and leads the viewer into a false sense of things to come. The murders continue to plague the set of the new horror film "Stab 3". In the name of that movie inside a movie title is the first inaccuracy. Wouldn't it or shouldn't it have been "Stab 2"? Even after the grisly death of Schreiber's character, Cotton, the production goes on on the new Stab film leading to the untimely deaths of several other cast members. Returning again are Cox and Arquette reprising their roles of Gale Weathers and Dewy. Perhaps the best part of the film and sadly little used was the meeting of the real characters and the Hollywood characters, the best example of this being that of Cox and Posey who really seemed to work well with each other. During the course of the story Sidny has visions of her mother being murdered which would have been a nice effect had it been done just a little better. I won't go into detail of what the rest of the story was about because it may for some give away the end. The end I found to be unexpected that is to say who the killer was, but I was disappointed to see that they went there. There was also a lot of hype whether or not Sidny gets killed in this one or not. You'll have to see it because I won't tell you but some may be disappointed. Over all not a bad film but could have been better, it is worth seeing and I have to say a fun ride. Nice little cameo by Henrekson. Now for the DVD review. This was actually a great DVD presentation of this film it offered up a lot of extras. The picture and sound quality was very good and the over all presentation was excellent. The alternate ending that is advertised wasn't all that different, I guess I had my hopes up for something different. But needless to say this is how a DVD should be done, loads of features and cool presentation. The one downside is the listed price...just a little too high.
