much people say, "Scream 3 is the worst film of the saga", but no, is great, the character of Jennifer (Parker Possey) is the best of the saga. Scream 3 is fantastic. I love this third part.

Final Thoughts:

Scream 3 is an odd one for me. A fun, high-quality slasher to be sure, but for the first half I found it difficult to tell the goofiness from the satirical (or if it was just failing at the satirical and becoming goofy).
Final Thoughts:

Scream 3 is an odd one for me. A fun, high-quality slasher to be sure, but for the first half I found it difficult to tell the goofiness from the satirical (or if it was just failing at the satirical and becoming goofy). Travelling threads it’s done better, the film does come together in its latter half with twists and turns bolstered by decent continuity. At this point, only Neve, Courtney, and David stand out as the richest cast members. The supporting cast doesn’t do a bad job, but their development doesn’t exist and, when comparing it to the iconic first film, it’s painfully obvious they’re there as mere cannon fodder. Straying from its (surprisingly) humorous tone, Scream 3 touches upon abuse, predominantly against women, within the entertainment industry. I say touched because, and chalk it up to rewatching the film with a modern lens, it had the potential to say something. Instead, while vilified, it’s sadly shrugged off. An evil norm that makes you wonder just how many men and women are suffering in silence to this day.

Dieses mal ist nicht Sindey Prescott die Hauptfigur sondern Dewi und Gale. Im dritten Teil wird gerade der 3 Stab Film gedreht. Dort treibt der neue Ghostface sein unwesen und tötet die Schauspieler und Teile der Crew. Wie im zweiten Teil istDieses mal ist nicht Sindey Prescott die Hauptfigur sondern Dewi und Gale. Im dritten Teil wird gerade der 3 Stab Film gedreht. Dort treibt der neue Ghostface sein unwesen und tötet die Schauspieler und Teile der Crew. Wie im zweiten Teil ist der Killer hier, nicht lange zu sehen. Den Killer sieht man ab und zu. In diesem Teil geht es um die Vergangenheit von Sidneys Mutter, welche Schauspielerin werden wollte. Sie hatte in mehreren Horrorfilmen kleine Rollen gespielt die aber keinen Erfolg gebracht haben. In diesem Teil werden Hintergrundgeschichten erweitern oder komplett geändert. Ebenso gibt es plötzlich Familienangehörige von den man nie gehört hat. Und es passt perfekt zu Scream. In vielen Horrorfilmreihen ist es so das im vermeintlichen letzten Teil oder zwischen drin, einfach neue Familienangehörige reingeschrieben werden, welche nie erwähnt wurden und meisten nur eingefügt werden. So ist es in der Freitag der 13 Reihe, Nightmare on Elm Street und in Halloween. Der Film spielt auch mit Hollywood Klitschees, die gut funktionieren. Ich hätte gerne noch mehr davon gewünscht. Es ist auch anzumerken, das im Film darauf aufmerksam gemacht wird, wie junge Schauspielerin zu Rollen kamen, in dem sie micht Produzenten schlafen. Was sich ja alls Wahrheit entpuppt hat durch den Weinstein Skandal. Welcher tatsächlich Producer von Scream 1-4 war. Es gibt hier vielen Sachen die hier unrealistisch, keinen Sinn machen und dumm sind. Aber das kann man Scream verzeihen, weil es mit Absicht so gemacht wird, weil Scream sich über Horrorfilme lustig macht, auf clevere Art. Ich fande Scream 3 unterhaltsamer als den 2 kommt, aber nicht an den ersten heran.

8,5/10

A good movie, but, probably my least favorite Scream. The ending felt too out of nowhere for a movie that is also supposed to be like a guessing game, and, the side characters were even less memorable than the second movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scream 3 is a phenomenal finale to the trilogy. The twist in the movie is clever and it clarifies why Billy & Stu attacked Sidney's mother in Scream 1. Billy was motivated by Sidney's half brother who she didn't know existed. Her half brother showed Billy a home video he made of Sidney's mother meeting Billy's father at a motel for a tryst. After Billy's mother found out she abandoned him. The twist in this movie is brilliant & unforseeable, A- for the conclusion. Expand

There was no way this wasn't going to be a tad disappointing. That being said this is a very fun movie and truly does a wonderful job of ending Sidney's story. This time around Sidney is living in seclusion and the murders start up again in Hollywood while they're making Stab 3 the first fictional sequel in the film within a film franchise. So both the original characters and the actors starring in the new film are targeted. What's great. Our core people are back and they are in top form. I love Neve Campbell's performance in this one because she is just done with it. Courtney Cox and David Arquette have wonderful chemistry as usual. As for the newbies Jenny McCarthy is fun, genre favorite Lance Henriken is awesome, Scott Foley is great and Carrie Fisher has one of the best cameos ever. But the real scene stealer is the amazing Parker Posey and when she's teamed up with Cox its incredible. Also the movies twist is one that wraps up the trilogy nicely. Now for the good. Its evident that Kevin Williamson didn't write the screenplay, he only wrote the treatment. It's not a bad screenplay it's actually good but focuses more on the comedy and feels different than the other films. All in all it's still a very hood film and just overly entertaining.

Budget: $40m
Domestic Box Office: $89m
Worldwide Box Office: $162m

Not as good as the first two. But it is still is very entertaining, funny and extremely unpredictable. It is a very honorable third chapter in this series.

Ask people what they think of the Scream trilogy, & usually their exact words will be: "Liked 1, liked 2, didn't like Scream 3", so this film is the end of the scream franchise, (well, for following 11 years anyway) and it's disliked by a lotAsk people what they think of the Scream trilogy, & usually their exact words will be: "Liked 1, liked 2, didn't like Scream 3", so this film is the end of the scream franchise, (well, for following 11 years anyway) and it's disliked by a lot of people, personally, I think this is my second favourite scream film, just under Scream 1 and above Scream 2, however the main thing that puts a lot of people off, is its lack of originality and freshness, and it's easy to see that this film feels almost as created as the 'I know what you did last summer' franchise, but I think that this film is very entertaining, this film was given a whopping $40million budget and you can see where the money has gone, I think the finale in Milton's gigantic mansion is the best finale of the franchise, & this is why this film sits in second place for me, while it is cheesy, it is entertaining, and should be given a shot. (it's also the only film in the franchise that made me jump several times, just saying!) Expand

I wouldn't say its better than the others but its still a good movie. Well Ghost Face got less scary in the third and the acting wasn't as good. I would recommend it but I would recommend the other two.

The ultimate scream...

Two years after the deaths of the second film, and during the filming of a new movie based on the life of Sidney Prescott (who lives at large under another name), a new wave of mysterious murders shakes the film crew and all suspects a new return of the masked psycho. Sidney, suspecting that the killings have some connection with the mysterious past of his deceased mother, decides to go to Hollywood and help the authorities to face the killer. Directed by Wes Craven, has a main cast equal to that of other films.

If the other films could be considered parodies, this film only has a few scenes that point in that direction. The whole film is a small crime thriller where the scary scenes don't scare enough to be a horror movie, but manage to put us in the expectation to follow the investigations and see who will be the next victim. This time, we didn't feel any sympathy for the killer because the main characters (Sidney, Dewey, Gale and even Detective Kincaid) evolved dramatically and now shown to be more mature, complex and able to reach the audience in a more effective manner. The only one with which we don't sympathize is Cotton Weary, a guy more interested in their own fame than anything else. The end of the film is remarkable, and it's surprising enough to make us wonder if it really existed, in real life, more cases similar to those of Maureen Prescott.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scream 3 rewatching this I really liked this movie when I first watched it was super average for some reason watching it this time around I liked it a lot I always had like the kills in here and Ghostface, not the when he gets revealed I think it's okay but not great I do like the meta here with they're two gales I like it comes with some comedy in the movie when they're like what two gales two Sidney's huh but the very first act of this movie is amazing with the voice changer the most underrated thing ever that this franchise brought us I love this touch into a movie it tricks the entire cast of characters and I love that makes it confusing where the villain almost wins cuz of it I know a lot of people don't like the story line coping the stab movies with an actual scream 3 movie to me I like it because I like the comedy of it and I love the whole stab idea it's very unique and the mom story line has always interest me but you know the story goes away after scream 3 which is disspoainting to me but I don't mind what we got but story wise I do miss that element into this franchise the only average part of the movie for me is when the killer is revealed to be roman like I don't like it was him he seemed no where near to be the killer like at all and he is like jealous of sidney because he got thrown away and she didn't like what a baby for real I have always agreed with people of that but the rest of the movie I'm on my own with the rest but you know my opinion but I did really like this movie on second rewatch I didn't think I was going to like it this much but I did and I give Scream 3 an A+ 95% Expand
