Scream 3 [DVD] [2000]

Scream : It's been a year since Sidney Prescott's mother Maureen was raped then murdered by Cotton Weary. Suddenly a violent killer begins picking off anyone close to Sidney one by one and soon the media begin pouring into the small town of Woodsboro where nobody is safe. As the film progresses Sidney wonders if Cotton was really her mother's murderer!

Scream 2 : It's been 2 years and Sidney Prescott is adjusting to life after the terrible Woodsboro murders. But then suddenly a film named Stab, which is based on what happened to Sidney, is released and causes a brand new killer to try and create a real life sequel plunging Sidney into another bloodbath.

Scream 3 : Stab 3 has just gone into production when the cast members begin dying off one by one. This forces a suffering Sidney Prescott out of hiding and she travels to Los Angeles to reunite with fellow survivors Dewey and Gail. The three join forces with Detective Kincaid and the remaining Stab 3 cast members who are terrified for their own lives. But as the chilling climax arrives Sidney discovers an earth shattering secret which finally explains all these murders and definitely means an end is truly near.

Scream 1 is an ultimate masterpiece and definitely oozes with orginality and creativity. Who will ever forget the opening scene with Drew Barrymore and thanks to the scene with Rose McGowan I can never go into a garage alone again! Scream 2 is brilliant because it plays on the hype that the original film created and the entire idea of the Stab movie is pure genious! Scream 3 is the best ending of a trilogy I've ever seen and yes I am including the overrated Matrix trilogy! The final scenes with Neve Campbell and Scott Foley are just so powerful and the last scene with Sidney looking calmly at the open door is a beautiful ending which just says SO much! David Arquette and Courtney Cox Arquette are excellent supporting players who truly add interest and comedy to all 3 films. The series also includes work from Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lilard, Jamie Kennedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalf, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liev Schrieber, Patrick Dempsey, Deon Richmond, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer and Parker Posey (who is the funniest actress I've ever seen and made me pee myself with laughter in Scream 3)!

I heard Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson are in talks for creating a fourth Scream film and Neve Campbell has agreed to appear in the film but wishes to be killed off because she doesn't see how they could do any more to her character. I really hope they don't make another Scream film because I think the films have really done all they can and if they did actually kill Sidney Prescott off then it would ruin the perfect ending of Scream 3! Plus having a brand new cast of characters take centre stage of Scream 4 just wouldn't work. You need Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox Arquette taking the lead to make a Scream film work!
