Wes Craven's final installment of his highly successful SCREAM trilogy concludes with a fun, fast, and furious romp that cuts through B-movie cliches as readily as it does the warm...
more...flesh of its hip young cast. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette), and Dwight "Dewey" Riley (David Arquette) once again find themselves face to face with a masked psychopath who's making deadly edits to the cast of STAB 3, the schlocky slasher film based upon Sidney's own "real-life" horrors. Fueled by a snappy script, the third chapter packs a punch with a plenty of turn-on-a-dime plot twists and a high laugh-to-shriek ratio.

Do you like Scary Movies
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by elspeth334

Advantages: Good acting, keeps you guessing who the killer is
Disadvantages: A bit predictable at points, not exactly horrific

...it. So then came along Scream 2 and then Scream 3. I have always though that with sequels more money is ploughed into them so that they are bigger and better. So does Scream 3 manage this? The plot is very similar to its predecessors. This time around the murders happen during the filming of a movie called stab 3 based on the events of the Woodsboro murders. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) who was in hiding after the events of the first two movies ... Read review

A perfect end to a perfect trilogy
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by java

Advantages: Excellent storyline
Disadvantages: Not scary enough

...and final instalment from the Scream trilogy. From the very beginning these films were made with a trilogy in mind and the final part slots all three films together wonderfully. There are new twists, new characters and suprises aplenty as you will discover if you watch it. The first thing i must mention with the Scream trilogy is that none of them are particulary scary. You occasionally have a few jumpy bits which are so jumpy that they make a ... Read review

Its not scary
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by chocoholic

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...be a touch better than Scream 2 and you have to watch it to see how the 'series' ends. The sequels have failed to match the originals pace, slickness and tension. Craven has managed to cash in on the success of the original Scream ( although there is only so much of predictable horror you can take!). Scream 3 seems to me to be almost a comedy/parody of horror films at times. Trust me you are more likely to scream with laughter than fear whilst ... Read review

Nearly running out of scream
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by utero

Advantages: funny out-takes, decent soundmix, good commentary
Disadvantages: feels rushed, some 'padding'extras

Scream was the film that got me interested in film and eventually film-making. Scream 2 I thought was a worthy sequel with a lot more gloss and in some ways was better at staging some very well orchestrated scares, the stalking on the soundstage is one example. Scream 3 is a decent conclusion to the trilogy but has a feeling that it's been rushed and things don't gel as much. You just get the feeling that it was done to please the fans and finish ...

This Movie Is A SCREAM
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by Gonda

Advantages: Everything!!
Disadvantages: Nothing!!

...Kevin Williamson created the original Scream movie he single-handedly re-wrote the rules for creating a modern horror flick. Williamson included all the witty, post-modern, self-referential elements that made his TV series so refreshing and satirised the traditions of the teen slasher movie. It seems that every horror movie that is released today is expected to be a post-Scream irony-fest. But Scream wasn't a simple spoof. It was a shockingly ... Read review

Scream...I didn't even gasp
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by cjkace

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Been done, neither horror nor comedy, poor acting, cliched.

Scream 3. The third part of a trilogy that was supposed to have re-surrected the horror genre. They should have stopped at two. This film is a dire excuse for a horror movie, with very little suspense and hardly any genuinely jump out of your skin moments. Scream and other teen slasher movies were all based upon the well trodden route that Friday the Thirteenth and Halloween started. Both of these movies had genuinely suspense filled moments, and ...

Breaking The Rules
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by Nameless

Advantages: Very well thought out plot, great new star in Parker Posey.
Disadvantages: Not as scary as it should be, needed Kevin Williamson writing.

Scream was actually designed as a trilogy from day one by original writer Kevin Williamson. He had always envisaged the idea that the three films (if made) would link together from start to finish. So of course after the massive popularity of the first two, the third and final (?) installment seemed inevitable. With Wes Craven back at the helm, and Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette all returning to reprise their roles most of the Scream ... Read review

Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by foobR007

Advantages: another scream movie
Disadvantages: another scream movie

...out above the rest. The Scream series. Infact Scream probably started the whole horror movie re-birth in the 90's. When I bought the first Scream movie, I was only 15. This movie rocked my world; it grabbed me and shook me by the neck. I'm surprised it didn't get much recognition. When Scream 2 came out, I couldn't wait. I rented the movie first night it came out and sat in my front room, lights off, and totally caught in the moment. Another superb ... Read review

Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by Lynx101

Advantages: Spooky
Disadvantages: ???

...anxious and excited to watch Scream 3. Firstly, being an avid fan, I really want to know what in the world happen to the lively group of people who are always stalked by psycho killers. After two/three human years, Scream 3 finally arrives. However, peoples' memory do not last long - especially for two years. We are brought back into Hollywood where the Sunrise Studios, the production company, of Stab 3. 'Stab 3' being the movie in a movie, is ... Read review

Very funny
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by NATALIA70

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: waste of time

Just like Scary Movie, Scream 3 is the “scary” movie that ends up being funny. Except in Scream 3, I don’t mean funny in the traditional funny sense, but funny as in “Ha ha, look at those idiots making fools of themselves!” Paging Mr. Plot Oh, I’m sorry, he must’ve been out of the building during the making of this movie. I know these days Hollywood scoffs upon the idea of a plot, but this movie is ... Read review

Scream 3 not as good as Scream but better than Scream 2!!!
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by BILLZaBELLAMY

Advantages: Great killings and good plot
Disadvantages: Some ridiculous scenes and poor settings

...slowly showed dissapointing hopes. Although Scream 3 was better than Scream 2 it couldn't compare to the huge success of the first Scream. There were some ridiculous scenes in Scream 3 like the part where the killer got shot several times but survived them all and the scene where they were watching the video of Randy telling them about what could happen in the third part of the series when he was clearly killed in the previous Scream. Another ... Read review

Thrice and dice....
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by the_fury

Advantages: I say: ‘Parker Posey’.
Disadvantages: The ‘series’ was getting torrid anyway....not an appropriate way to end it though either.

How on earth did the ‘Scream' series get so popular? It wasn’t that funny. It wasn’t that clever. It wasn’t that big. It however was a little scary, so that counts. More importantly, it was there first (before the talentless no-marks of ‘Scary Movie’, ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ and other knock-offs such as ‘Urban Legends’). Set two years after ‘Scream 2’, we find ... Read review

The best sequal so far
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by mike999

Advantages: Tried and tested format
Disadvantages: Nothing new

Anyone that has watched the first two films MUST see this the latest addition to the great series. The film follows the tried and tested format for its genre, a copycat killer threatens the lives of those still alive from the first two films, and takes the lives of the actors that star in the film version of the events that took place in the first films. Who is the killer???? you'll have to watch the film to find out. If you've seen the previous ... Read review

Stagnant
Review of Scream 3 (DVD) by darkpsyche

Advantages: Easy viewing, don't have to think.
Disadvantages: Familiar storylines and characters.

I have seen all three "Screams" and have even got the first two on DVD, and will probably buy the third for prosterity. However, the trilogy did not live up to all that it promised, advertisements for the third film stated that it would be scarier and harder to believe than the first two. Hard to believe could be right, the plot twists were ridiculous. It must be said that the first "Scream" abounded in originality with parodies of previous horror ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Same thing

...film and this applies to Scream 2 and 3 alike! Please Wes, don't make a 4th! I love horrors and Scream was something different, it had twists and blew my mind and I looked forward to the sequel. It was just the same as the first - killer, that we dont know until the end, girl, that the kiler is after and get-in-the-ways, the people that get killed to make the film up. When Scream 3 came out I expected something different but it was just the same, ... Read review
