The Trilogy

Scream 3 is the best Scream sequel! It's scary, fun, and entertaining. It wasn't as good as the first one, but it was a 100% more better than Scream 2. Scream 2 was really stupid. Scream 3 It had a perfect ending and the features are amazing, it's a good movie to the complete trilogy.

Scream 3

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!

Better then Scream 2

This isn't the best out of the Scream franchise, but what do you expect. It's a slasher movie. I like the first Scream the best, Scream 2 was okay,and now this one. I liked this movie. One clever scene is the fax telling who the next victim will be. And the next victim is: He who smells the gas? BOOM! If you haven't seen this movie, you probably have no idea what I just wrote. But if you see this movie, you will. If you like the Scream franchise, you might like the humor they threw into it. Anyway it was pretty good and worth the money I spent to see it. I give it a B.

The most terrifying scream is always the last.

Scream 3, Dimension Films, 117 Minutes.
The third, and final chapter of the SCREAM trilogy, delivers laughs, chills and spills. Returning characters Sidney Presscott (Nev Campbell), Gail Weathers, (Courtney Cox-Arquette) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) are now faced with another copy-cat killer of their dramatic events back in Woodsboro four years ago. They are now in Hollywood, with the third installment of movies about their real live drama in Woodsboro, with the movie's titled "Stab". The rules are all forgotten within this final film fo the trilogy, with a lot of surprises, and one very big one at the very end. Neve Campbell's character Sidney, hiding in the middle of no-where, within the California hills, isloated to where no one can find her. Dewey Riley, now an ex-cop is now a body-guard, and Technical Advisor of the new Stab Film, and body-guard to one of the cast-members. But, as always, Gail Weathers (Cox-Arquette) is still a ruthless journalist, but with a slight change of attitude. The new masked killer, is killing the cast of "Stab 3" in the order they all die in the film, and then going after the real person.
"Scream 3" delivers the great energy as it does from the last two predecessors, and is still an enjoyable scary movie. Neve Campbell's "Sidney" is both dramatic, funny and is overall the best character of the film. She;s haunted by her mother, her awful past, and cannot seem to get over what had happened over 4 years ago. Arquette's "Dewey" is a little annoying, because of the antics, and wanna-be heroism, is a little "deja-vu" from the first two films. Cox-Arquette's "Gail" is very funny, and also very dramatic. The death scenes are more ellaborate in this final installment, and the suspense is over-whelming. This, inmy opinion is the most terrifying movie of the SCREAM trilogy.
The ending of this film will leave you shocked, amazed and frightened. A very big turn-around happens with Neve Campbell's character in the final scene, that will leave you shocked, and utterly scared. he three returning characters deserve some credit, for returning the original spunk and spirit of the three characters, and makes the film even more enjoyable.
The only problem is, with the scenes that don't include the three main characters drag a bit, and don't entertain very much. Trilogies supposedly ruin the essence of films, but this is not the case. This film delivers suspense, laughs, and entertainment.

Letter Grade : A-

Fun film but not as good as the original

Scream 3 is the final chapter of the Scream trilogy - a series of films that not only mocks and lampoons on other films, but also mocks itself.Scream 3 picks up the story a couple of years after the events of the first film. The production of "Stab 3" grinds to a halt as a killer picks off the cast in the order that their characters die in the film. This draws the three main protagonists of the series together as they determine who is behind these murders.Scream 3 is a definite improvement over the disappointing second entry. It not only takes the p!ss from other scary movies but also takes the p!ss out of itself and the Scream films. You get a perverse enjoyment out of the actors playing the characters from "real life" (eg: Parker Posey doing a Courteney Cox impersonation). It sort of reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where the characters of the pilot episode "Jerry" interact with the "real life" Seinfeld characters.There are plenty of brilliant in-house film buff jokes too (eg: Jay and Silent Bob making an appearance and a Carrie Fisher look-a-like).Anyhows - this is a horror film - and although there are a couple of scares - it doesn't reach the terrifying level of the original. And the film seems pretty tame on the gore front! But if you go in with an open mind (ie: don't be expecting it to be as good as the first) and you might have fun.

Great Thriller

Scream is the first part of an amazing trilogy. Have you ever watched a thriller movie in which the killer walks and some how catches the victim? How about when you think the killer is dead and all of a sudden he gets up, kills, and walks away waiting for another continuation? I don't know about you but I hate those types of movies. Scream is the very opposite. In fact in Scream the knowledge of regular horror films are not taken for granted.


In this movie there is someone who is killing off students. The killer calls and terrorizes the victims by asking questions about thriller movies; get it right you live, get it wrong and you're dead. Scream is mostly about a character named Sidney, some how these killings are related to the death of her mother. The killer won't stop till he gets what he wants, Sidney.


If you want to watch a good thriller/suspense movie I recommend Scream. It will keep you jumping and guessing till the end. If you like the first I recommend you see the entire trilogy. Scream 3 helps conclude the entire trilogy all the way from how it started.

More like a comedy

I have absolutely nothing good to say about this movie. It was horrible!!! I found myself laughing through just about the whole thing. The best person of the films is barely in the movie. It had no plot, and relied things shocking you for all of their scares. The killer(s) is/are so obvious, and his/her/their motive is so dumb that it will be making you laugh even more. It lacked EVERYTHING that made the first movie so great. There were endless plot holes in the movie, the casting was horrible, and so was the script. I didn't expect much from the movie, seeing as though the 2nd one wasn't too great. But I expected way more than this. I personally can't believe that Neve, Courteney, and David agreed to come back for this one. The only good things about this movie were the appearances by Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and Carrie Fischer. Want some advice? Save your money and wait for cable.

I miss you Kevin Williamson. Spoilers included...

I'm a huge fan of the first two Scream movies along with horror films in general so therefore I was greatly anticipating the release of the third. I was slightly disappointed when I heard that Kevin Williamson would not be writing Scream 3 but I figured that since Wes Craven was directing it would still be pretty good. Boy, was I wrong. From the very opening it was evident that the movie was missing Williamson's touch. I agree with the fact that some of the big name characters in the movie should have been killed off but opening it with Cotton getting slashed was a bad move.The acting in Scream 3 was sad, even for a horror film. Neve Campbell and Lance Henriksen were the only two in the movie who acted like they wanted to be there. The fact that Neve did a great job again was odd considering all the fuss she made about even wanting to appear in the third installment. Again, I think the reason for the poor acting is due to the fact that Kevin Williamson did not write the script. They were his characters and they seemed flat without him giving them life.I also thought this was the least "scary" of the three films. There were a few moments of tension however. The scene where Sid was dreaming and her mother appeared in a zombie type why was somewhat creepy. Also, Sid's recollection of the events of Scream in her room on the set of Stab 3 provided some chilling moments. Unfortunately, the movie tries to scare the audience by using the sudden entrance of an actor into the frame followed by the "stinger" of music blaring throughout the theater. This is a poor technique and really gets old when done as many times as it is in this movie. I view it as a bale out attempt by the writer or director or whoever when they can't think of anything else to do in order to scare the audience.For some reason, however, I gave the movie a 6 out of 10. Probably because there are some well written things in the story and because it has the Scream name and Wes Craven's attached to it. I know that is pretty sad reasoning but it's the only thing I can think of. I guess I could go on about how bad some things are in the movie and even how some things are done well, but it's not worth it. I recommend that you see the movie for yourself and form your own opinion. At least, hopefully, this is the last installment of the series. Please, Wes, do not do a "Wes Craven's New Scream" or anything along those lines. Just let the trilogy be as it is. Those last two lines go for any other director or producer at Miramax wanting to resurrect the series.

A Worthy end to an Amazing Trilogy

I was very worried that with the final chapter in the scream saga that some how it would turn out bad. The first 2 are some of my favorite films so i was worried that this one would end up being disappointing. Boy was i wrong. Though this isn't the scariest of the trilogy, it's the most thought provoking. It ties up all the loose ends that were brought up in the first 2 and the final chapter really does have an interesting story to tell. This film gives the chracters and the audience watching the film the closure they need.first of all when the movie started i was a tad bit dsappointed. the opening scene wasn't very thrilling and it was a little short so i though oh boy this isn't starting off right. it was a descent opening scene. i jumped a few times but it didn't have the shock value the first 2 had. despite that flaw when scream 3 finally gets started we get involved in a mystery that somehow takes us back to where it all began. this mystery involves sidney's mother who had a secret life of her own. speaking of sidney, in this installment she is in hiding, this is because "Psychos can't kill what they can't find". While sidney is in hiding she begins to have visions of her dead mother. proving that the evnets in her life have finally taken a toll on her. meanwhile in hollywood they are making Stab 3 and when the cast begins to die in the order they die in the script it's up to dewey who si working as an aid on the set and Gale, who is summoned by the FBI to help in the case to solve this mystery. pretty soon sidney makes it to hollywood and the real fun begins.I've always thought that the scream films always managed to produce and create interesting characters. this one is no exception. Neve Campbell is in top form as sidney. In fact in this one she becomes a fighter and has no intention on giving up. neve plays her well and shows us that sidney has grown between films. David arquette is also good as dewey. he isn't as goofy this time around but he's still very funny. i like courtney coc but this gale weathers was different from the firsr 2. i think that she shouyld've played it bitchy again, when she's nice she loses her edge. she was still good but she could've been betterThe characters are a mixed bag(since most of them are just there to get killed) Parker Posey supplies the film with most of its comice relief. she was really good in the role and i thought she was a good new character. jenny macartney was adequate as sarah darling, an actress who is 35 and tired of playing 21 year olds. Scott foley was also good as a directer who's film is being sabotage by a violent killer.The ending was much better than the ending in scream 2. i thought that this endingsolves all the problems that sisdney had been wondering about. at times it seemd cheesy but i do think that it was good and much better than scream 2's ending.I'm glad they decided to end it now because i would hate to see them ruin a good thing. they ended it like they should've. i'll now remember this a trilogy that made me laugh and most of all made me Scream. A-

Close but No Cigar

The final installment of the Scream trilogy was an improvement from the sequel, but doesn't quite measure up to the original. Plain and simple.

Different from the first two

"Scream 3" is by no means a bad film. It just can't live up to the first two as much as you want it to. "Scream" was unpredictable, tense, original and interesting. "Scream 2" toned it down and had some very memorable scares, carrying the plot on well. "Scream 3" is the big conclusion, and overall, it works on a lot of levels, just not like the first movie."Scream 2" seemed too much like a middle. There had to be an end, it just didn't stop there. Although technically it had more of its own storyline, the films were still intertwined, which brings us to chapter three, where we're now in Hollywood.Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are all back once again, though it's sad to say that they all seem ready to finish, without the effort they put into the first two installments. It really is time for "Scream" to be finished or else the first film will be put to shame, so Wes Craven returns to the director's seat and does everything he can to end the series with a bang. The goriest, most mysterious and most intricate film ensues.On the set of "Stab 3" (the movie within the movie that chronicle's the events of Sydney's life), the young, hip actors that are homages to the first film are dying off, brutally murdered one by one. The ghost face killer is back and meaner than ever but we actually see less of him here. The story is more focused on the backstory of Scream part one, where Sydney's mother turns out to have a dirty past and Sydney and the gang have to dig deeper into it. The deaths and chase scenes are all well choreographed and entertaining, especially when Sydney confronts the killer for the first time again. But towards the end Wes Craven begins to lose the story. It becomes sloppy and poorly edited, and the conclusion is the weakest in the series Still, what could you hope for? Screenwriter Ehren Kruger crafts too much of a story but it works as the end to a clever series. There's enough scares and humor to stay true. It's a good effort but it's all just so conventional by now. Cool DVD with lots of extra features that goes well with the collection, and look for the funny cameo by Jennifer McCarthy.**1/2 out of ****

It's time to put this series to rest before it becomes a parody of itself.

Scream 3: Poor Sidney. After weathering the murder of her mother, being slandered in the press, and escaping the clutches of psychotic killers, not once, but twice (sending scores of screaming young men and women to the Grim Reaper in the process), she appears to have found peace living a life of solitude.. Unfortunately, the killing isn't over yet. Actors on the set of Stab 3 - a movie based on the Woodsboro murders - are being butchered like livestock, and once again, Sidney becomes a target. The first installment of the trilogy was timely: the teen slasher genre was alive and well, and bloodier than ever. An informal set of rules governed the actions of all victims-to-be: any couples having sex had to die, people always split up to look for the killer, the first place to be searched was a cellar or similar dark and dangerous location, flashlights always died and no one ever carried a weapon. Scream embraced these rules (and many others) and tried to circumvent them at the same time. Once the rules were set, Scream 2 went about bending the rules, most importantly core characters were brutally done away with. Finally, in the last (?) installment, the rules no longer apply and anything goes. Or at least that's what we're told.
There are a couple good scares, several wonderful cameos (my favorite was Roger Corman's character who is rails against the violence in films and their negative effects on society, but I was apparently the only one who got it) and well spaced moments of hilarity. Unfortunately the theme is growing thin.
The victims are as one dimensional as those in any second rate blood fest.
They have no connection with the main character, and are simply accessories waiting to meet their inglorious ends. It is interesting to note that whereas many well-known actors were dispatched in the sequel, only one "name" victim gets offed in this outing. I was also annoyed that the characters do everything they're not supposed to do - apparently Randy's wisdom died with him. And what's with Cox and Arquette? They look horrible: she is haggard and emaciated, while he appears to have absorbed all the pounds she lost, and the chemistry between them is nonexistent. But most frustrating was the fact that they resorted to a cheat this time around (I won't spoil it, but it has to do with the killer) rather than spending more time on the script. Don't get me wrong, the movie was fun, just not as fresh or clever as the earlier installments and it is time to let it Rest in Peace.

Cannot be the end

If you have seen this movie, you know what I mean. When the original Scream came out, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson promised a trilogy making fun of every aspect of scary movie series, while at the same time being scary as well. This third installment was like Halloween two, or Friday the 13 four.
It was the conclusion. It was the endNot too bad of an ending, with bringing back randy for his world famous "rules speech". It includes an opening death which shocks you, as it involves a main character. Though I admit they only flushed out two new characters, Kincaid and Jennifer, the others did not need to be flushed out.
They are actors, and what is the stereotype on actors, skin deep. The deaths bring back memories of suspence and horrors early days, when you did not have too see everything, and it was scary because you used your imagination.On to my point though. This is not the end. Every horror franchise has a rebirth movie, which has nothing to do with the others, Halloween three, friday the thirteenth 5, etc. Lets see Scream 4: The new class. After that, they can put the series to rest if they want.

Piece of crap!

I don't know what sucked about this movie the most. Everything about this movie was a huge disappointment. After falling in love with her in such illustrious comedies like House of Yes, Waiting for Guffman, and Best in Show, Parker Posey's acting was at an all time low in this movie. While I was being thoroughly disgusted with this rag, I kept thinking: "She went from The Daytrippers to this." Also, Courteney Cox's costume designer and hair stylist should have been fired. Granted that her character Gale Weathers was still nothing more than a "tabloid twit," she did not look the part of someone determined to win the Pulitzer Prize. Despite the fact that Neve Campbell has never been a first rate actress, she does well enough playing someone still troubled by her past. But what was probably the most disappointing aspect of the entire movie was the identity of the killer. Not to give it away, but I remember wishing it wasn't so when the movie came to it's long-overdue ending. The things that make Scream 3 bad can probably be attributed mainly to the fact that Kevin Williamson didn't write the screenplay like he did the first two. However, the most redeeming part of this movie was Jenny McCarthy who provided a line that reinstated the Scream trilogy was meant to be a parody of horror movies. She put it nicely when she said: "I'm thirty years old and you keep sending me in to play teenagers." Too bad that alone doesn't make this movie worth a rental fee.

The most exilirating SCREAM movie yet!

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.

Inferior; feels more like a rip-off than a sequel.

"Scream 3" feels like it was done purely for the cash, with no ideas behind it. The few surviving characters are brought back, but most of the movie focuses on the Arquettes, whose characters have nothing new to cover or grow on. The new characters are all very annoying and their actors over-act at every chance (particularly Parker Posey). When one of them gets knocked off, you get a profound feeling of lack of interest. Their names are all weak homages/spoofs. Neve Campbell enters the action too late. The biggest problem, however, is the writing. The screenplay's examination of trilogies is really uninspired and underdeveloped, and its citation, reference, spoof, and homage of other horror movies is minimal, weak, and unimaginative. This is really the biggest step down, as it was the main selling point of the first two movies. The twist climax was also weak. The revelation of the killer was a random pick from the cast of characters, with no natural build-up to it.The only worthwhile elements: 1) the new additions in cell-phone technology to further disguise the killer; 2) that scene with the flying knife, which was the only creative spoof of cinema clichés and conventions; 3) some vague homages to AIP and Roger Corman; 4) the always reliable Lance Henrikssen.Stick to the first two movies.

Scream 3- The final scream is the best!

The most terrifying scream is always the last one, or so "Scream 3"proclaims. Surprisingly enough though, the ending to Kevin Williamson's clever trilogy doesn't let viewers down-- even without Williamson scripting the final chapter. From the opening scene fans of "Scream" and "Scream 2" will be shocked and pleasantly surprised at who lives and who dies. And although the ending is your typical cheesy horror film conclusion, it fits "Scream" perfectly. After all, this wasn't just any old horror franchise. This horror series cleverly made fun of its own genre and trilogies while scripting together an engaging and intriguing plotline that kept viewers guessing to, appropriately enough, the very last scream. Written by Ehren Kruger, "Scream 3" is the perfect ending to the horror franchise that brought back scary movies in the `90s. Clever, funny and suspenseful, "Scream 3" leaves the rules that ex-Scream star Jamie Kennedy clued viewers in on in the original "Scream" at the door. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox-Arquette return for the final chapter of the "Scream" series, but this film is Arquette and Cox-Arquette's alone. While viewers should care about Campbell's character and whether or not she lives, viewers will be cheering for the ruthless TV reporter Gail Weathers and the dopey Deputy Dewey the whole time. Hopeless romantics will also get caught up in whether or not the two on-again off-again, real-life duo will end up happily ever after like they did in real life. As though the film wasn't great enough in the theater, the DVD just adds to the whole "Scream" experience, giving away not only the alternate trilogy ending, but also giving fans a chance to see deleted scenes and out-takes from all three "Scream" films. Additional DVD features include the Creed "What If" music video, theatrical trailers, and commentary by horror master Wes Craven. So sit back with a friend or loved one, turn off the lights, and get ready to laugh and scream one final time. You won't be disappointed.

"It was a simple game, cotton. Now you lose!"

This is a sweet film. Mabye the best in the Scream series? I dunno. S2 was good as well. Now, heres S3 and Heres the review:

After the death of COtton, a Talkshow host, SId decides to investigate a horror movie called STAB 3, created by Roman. The film is shut down and now the chaos gets worse. Then, the crew come to a good fight.

This was great! Not a good as I expected but otherwise great. You should see it!

Not scary, not funny, not entertaining.

I enjoyed the first Scream, but this one was a major disappointment. The first time we saw the killer's costume, it was actually scary. There is just something about that mask that really gets to you. But by now, we have seen it so many times, that it just isn't scary anymore.These characters are so one dimensional, we simply don't care what happens to them. The movie is supposed to be self aware, one of the things that made the first one great, but this one is just a generic slasher film. There is only one brief scene where the horror movie trilogy is discussed, and that's about it. The characters do the usual stupid things otherwise.There are also many ludicrous coincidences. Time after time, the victim runs around and hides somewhere, and the killer just happens to be right there. How did he manage to set up things so perfectly? And the voice device he uses? Things like that made me begin to hate this movie.The last straw was the ending. The killer could have been anyone, even a random person off the street. The motivation we are given is a joke. It's painfully obvious that this movie was made just to cash in on the Scream franchise.
