Very good
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Since Scream 4 is out in the cinemas, I thought I'd check out the original trilogy before going to see it. I already owned the first two films which I liked, so I bought this to complete the collection. The plot for this film revolves around the shooting of Stab 3 in Hollywood, a film yet again based on the murders of the first scream film. Sidney is now living in seclusion, Dewey works on the film and Gale is still a journalist. Ghostface starts killing off members of the cast and leaving cryptic clues regarding Sidneys murdered mother in an effort to lure her out of hiding. The film doesn't really break any new ground and is weaker in regards to the first two films but its still entertaining in itself. However I did find the ending a little unconvincing. The Extras on the DVD were the usual suspects: deleted scenes, outakes, behind the scenes and commentary with most of the above. The behind the scenes section was from all three films which is good, but I would have liked to have seen some cast interviews in the behind the scenes stuff rather than what was essantially another bunch of outakes.Read full review
The movie begins with Cotton Weary driving in L.A. while talking on a cellular phone. And of course someone clicks in and you can only guess who it is-thus begining the traditional Scream opening murder suspense scene. Sidney Prescott has moved down to the Los Angeles area and has basically gone into hiding, working out of her house as a crisis-hotline operator. Gale Weathers is the same as always of course as a bitchy tabloid news anchor. She has written a new novel though which is what the movie inside Scream 2 (STAB) is based except Stab 2 has already been released and they are in production of Stab 3. Dewey is also on the scene as a type of helper on the set. One by one the cast of the film turn up murdered according to script. The old hollywood mansion as the final scene makes a great setting as the surprise twist-final deaths take place. Definately a satisfactory ending that kinda wraps it all up, with some great cameo appearances especially with the video of Randy that was a great touch to keep the 'trilogy-movie buff' type of thing in the movie. The movie goes back to its roots and fills in all the little holes of the first one. Of course the movie may have been a little better with Kevin Williamson's touch but overall it was still great. I went into the movie without having very high expectations at all. I am a very big fan of the original Scream, yet going into Scream 2 I was expecting it to be very good and I was extremely disappointed with the outcome. So going into Scream 3 I just didn't set myself up for the disappointment. But I was very very pleased it was AWESOME Go see this movie if you are a fan of the original.Read full review
I loved this film. Really finished off the trilogy to the high standard, excitement and comedy of the first two. I have to say, it did make me laugh in parts (which I'm not sure if it was supposed to be funny or not), but I think that just added to the excitement and brilliance of it. I think this a film worth buying, even though its quite old... its still a classic. Its a thumbs up for me. Well done Wes Craven.
I bought the film after watching the previous two 'scream' films. Although I didnt personally think it was as good as the others, I still did enjoy it and found it to be more satirical and more of a horror comedy moreso than the others, which is good if you prefer that sort of thing. I would still recomend it as a one off watch, but dont go out your way to buy the film.
