Screaming fun

Advantages: In-jokes
Disadvantages: Weaker than previous Scream films

Scream 3 is the third outing for the popular Scream films, directed by Wes Craven, in 2000. This film follows on from the previous film and sees Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) living in a deserted mountainside cabin. She is trying to get away from the trauma of the murders at Windsor College and is now working as a counsellor for women in distress. However when she hears about the murders on the film set of Stab 3 and that a picture of her dead ...
...are a fan of the Scream films, then you will love this, but otherwise it may be a bit difficult to follow some of the references to past films. I like the self aware references to trilogy films and the rules of horror films in general. Wes Craven has directed a film that does justice to the horror genre. ...

A decent sequel

Advantages: Innovative and good script
Disadvantages: none

When Scream was released in 1996, I was very impressed by the satirical and self-referential style of the film. However I was sceptical when the sequel, Scream 2 was released in 1997, as I thought it was straining the idea to make additional films. Scream 2 follows on two years after the events in Scream and sees Sidney (Neve Campbell) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) trying to lead a normal life after their traumatic experiences in Woodsboro. While attending ...
...seeing stars who are big names now, playing small roles in this film, such as Heather Graham and Sarah Michelle Gellar. It is a nice idea having a film within a film and things don’t get complicated, which is good. Fans of Scream will be pleasantly pleased with this film. ...

I hunger for a better movie

Advantages: None at all, well maybe the awesome scenery
Disadvantages: Pretty much every second of the movie

Guy Pearce & Robert Carlisle appearing in possibly the worst film both or either of them have ever been in. An army officer who has been involved in a big battle which was a blood bath is proclaimed a hero but then mysteriously sent off to a tiny fort where he can't get into trouble. He doesn't eat meat and is haunted by bad dreams and some very troubling images. Sounds interesting eh? Yeah, I thought so too but they do manage to f*ck it up so read ...
...a man who claims he has trekked through miles of snow to escape from a maniac who was eating a traveling party. Right away alarm bells should be ringing, especially when they go to try and find the rest of the party. Unsurprisingly it turns out he has eaten them & has been driven insane by the hunger for flesh. And this hunger is infectious. Guy Pearce survives an impossible fall off a cliff only to end up eating his superior officer. The final ...

Pike isn't a name, its a fish!

Advantages: Feel-good and light hearted.
Disadvantages: Not for the hardcore TV series fans.

Okay, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie is definately not for everyone. If you're a fan of the series & love Sarah Michelle Gellar as the vampire-slaying, butt-kicking Buffy, then this is probably not your cup of tea. The Buffy TV series is a whole lot more gothic, more serious, and has a rockier soundtrack. The movie on the other hand is pretty light hearted, and girly. In a word, i'd say this movie is cheesy. But that doesn't mean its bad. If ...
...people would probably say they prefer the series. Its just a case of taste, really. The movie seems more of a late 80's film, what with the fashion and soundtrack. The whole thing is not taken too seriously, and a lot of the vampires are pretty slapstick. I think it's a brilliant, feel good film, if you disregard the series for an hour and a half! ...

Scream... it broke all the rules.

Advantages: Unpredictable. Good performances. Witty
Disadvantages: can be gory in parts

Scream (1996) was the one that broke all the rules and revitalized how the audience viewed horror/slasher movies as Kevin Williamson's screenplay and Wes Craven's direction found, and used, the satire in the genre. Throughout the film there are a lot of 'red herrings' to throw the audience of track which makes it interesting rather that the usual predictability of this type of film. Some of the characters included: Casey Becker - (Drew Barrymore): ...
...credits of the film by the killer wearing a white mask, the killed is then known as ghostface. The mask is warn throughout the film to prevent the killers identity being revealled. Caseys gutted body is found by her parents hanging from the neck on a tree in the garden. Sidney Prescott - (Neve Campbell): Sidney is affected by the rape and murder of her mother Maureen almost a year before and this has an affect on her relationship with boyfriend ...
