What should have been an explosive finale to the trilogy in Scream 3 ends up becoming something of a damp squib, with little of the suspense that made the first two so memorable. Kevin Williamson, creator of the original Scream, claimed he always saw the series as a trilogy, so it's a pity that he couldn't have had more of a hand in the last of the series, settling for a producer credit while the screenplay is penned by Ehren Kruger (ironic in itself, given director Wes Craven's most famous creation). When a crucial player in the first two movies is killed in the now obligatory pre-credit murder sequence, the attention switches to the set of Stab 3, the third in the fictional film series based on the original Woodsboro murders of the first Scream movie. Sydney Prescott, who has spent the last few years targeted by the Ghost-faced killer, is drawn out of hiding in the Californian hills to face the killer one last time. Along the way she is re-united with old friends, (both living and dead) and discovers more about her family history than she ever wanted to know.
Most of the players look a little bored with the whole thing now and Craven just doesn't inject any pace into the proceedings, happy, it seems to produce virtually carbon copy set pieces from the previous instalments. The film sags incredibly in the second act and when a convenient "pre-recorded" message from the late Randy Meeks turns up, it's not so much evidence of that character's forethought, more of the scriptwriter's laziness. It has its moments though: Jenny McCarthy hiding from the killer in a wardrobe room filled with Ghostface costumes, a great cameo from Carrie Fisher and the constant bitching between Cox and the wonderful Parker Posey, who plays Gail Weathers in the fictional Stab 3. Ultimately, though, as the closing chapter in a great horror series, Scream 3 fails to live up to its predecessors. --Jonathan Weir

In the aftermath of the second round of killings, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has retreated to a house in the middle of nowhere and works as a phone counselor. But her life is about to be shaken up once again when a new round of killings begin. At first she tries to ignore them, but when the killer calls her at home, she realizes she has no choice.
The new round of killings seem to be centered around the production of Stab 3. As the cast begins to fear for their lives, Sidney teams up with Gale Weather s (Courtney Cox Arquette) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette). Why is the killer leaving pictures of Sid's mother on the victims? Who will survive the latest blood bath?
This is generally considered the weakest entry in the series, and the arguments against it have good merit. Neve Campbell wasn't available for the full production, and Sidney's decreased presence really hurt the film since the franchise has always been about her. Original scribe Kevin Williamson isn't back at all, and this film doesn't quite have the same satirical punch of the first two. And the ending seems rather farfetched and out there even for this franchise.
Despite these weaknesses, I can't help but enjoy the film. While the jokes aren't in the same manner, there are still some funny moments in the film. The suspense in the few scenes is still very intense. And the final fight is very nicely done.
While I can understand the complaints, I still enjoy this film. It frightens and provides a few laughs along the way. If you've enjoyed the first two, you'll want to give this one a stab.

It arrived on time, and although was said to be in good condition, the clip that holds the DVD in the case was broken, and when item was received it was moving freely around the case.

This is a great ending to a brilliant set of slasher films! I feel this movie is just as great as the second Scream in that it once again delivers the shocks and scares and laughs and cliche slasher rule scenes that you expect! The cast is good again and it parodies itself and the horror genre in so many ways and thats part of what makes it brilliant and original. Great trilogy of films that will always remain classics!!

SCREAM 3, despite being the worst of the first three, was highly entertaining! I jumped a dozen times, and just when i thought it was over, i jumped out of my skin in terror! The laughs were bigger too! I laughed almost as much as i jumped! This is the least gory of the series, but also the most scary! The acting was, as usual, fabulous! Neve Campbell hit every button correctly, as did Courteney Cox and David Arquette. The storyline was filled to the brim with drama and action, it had everything! This film was absolutely brilliant! Lots of scares, laughs and blood! I highly recommend it! AWESOME! 10/10!

With the fourth film coming out I thought I would watch this again and I am glad I did! Great to see Neve, David, Courtney and the others in this one. The in-jokes come thick and fast and the film is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Great film 5/5!

Still makes you jump, even after seeing it several times. Can be quite tense in parts.

On the set of Stab 3 the cast are targeted by a serial killer using the same disguise as with Sidney Prescott (Campbell) who is once again brought into the equation.
In the third instalment of the most renowned serial killer series in the world we see Wes Craven once more use an exquisite horror slasher motive to get the adrenaline pumping and once more the stakes are higher as Neve Campbell is once more at the centre of attention for the masked villain.
Opening with the annoying Cotton rushing through traffic to save his girlfriend and the motive is set as the killer reveals his desire to kill Sidney and once more the central character from the franchise is up against the odds.
Sidney has developed throughout the screams to be a developed protagonist. The first film depicted her as a nervous wreck and thanks to her difficult life has progressed to be a profound figure in the series. This film encodes quite a bizarre usage of her mother coming back and is rather uncomfortable than scary.
Courtney Cox's Gale is as mouthy and uncaring as ever and though this film encodes some more sentimental scripting on her part, the friends star adds that necessity bite to portray her as the stubborn cow the reporter should be.
But thanks to many films having many horror ideas this is never about the acting and is all focused on what mayhem the killer can ensue.
Thanks to a clever part revival of the best character in modern horror we see more rules demonstrated and acted out but critically this film isn't scary.
When you watch a film you usually know what you're getting into. If you watch a Richard Curtis flick you'll know automatically its trashy love and if you pick up a Stanley Kubrick picture you're going to see something other worldly.... Read more ›

I know it seems ages ago but i thought i write a review to keep the scream movies alive because have you heard the shocking news it was announced this year that they will indeed be a scream 4 in 2010. I am really happy about this as i love scream, its one of my best horrors. shame it had to wait this long for a fourth installment of the movies. if your a new viewer to scream then what have you been doing? i sugest you buy all 3 and watch them but remember that always bolt your door (because you never know who might come in) and turn the lights out but whatever you do, don't look outside while your watching it lol.
Scream 3 is brilliant with lots of shocking creepy moments and blood and gore. I am not going to write a summary of what is happend but i will tell you this that neve campbell who played sidney survives.
ROLL ON 2010 FOR SCREAM 4 (CAN'T WAIT)

Yet another fab sequal!

It makes you squeal in delight rather than scream in fright
Ok, the first 'Scream' is excellent. No doubt. Its first sequel was a dull film, reiterating the same tricks, which is boring. Read more
