I love this movie so much

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

All the three episodes of the series have their own message: 1) the first episode considers the banality of relationship lived as a splatter where the youth trivially approach serious events; 2) the second episode considers the stupidity of viewers in confront of criminal murderers they live as personal exaltation manipulated by marketing system ("so that the viewers are the real white mask") able to sell violence as a product without considering the consequences of that product in the weakness minds; 3) the third episode (this one) describes the real face of Hollywood under the white mask where actors sell themselves to get a part and often they are alienated by the false dive image in order to be manipulated by directors and/or producers so to get sexual intercourse and orgies which generates aftermaths in the attitude of their sexual "toys": the first consequence is the degradation of person into material object selfishly owned. Wes Craven was able to mask its climax message with an horror series well made avoiding any exaggerations, including a bit of smart humor during the calm phases of his movies. So the series is an accusation against the consumerism system promoted by Hollywood which considers the viewers as useful idiots from which to take easy money by emotional suggestions injected using both the motion pictures and the sound environment ("pay to get ephemeral emotions as the addict pays to get doses of drug").

SCREAM 3 is one of those nauseating horror sequels made to cash in on the success of the films that have come before. The sole reason for these sequels is to make a quick buck and they're often poorly written, happy to bring back characters the fans already know and love so the hard work is done already. SCREAM 3 is a case in point: the only characters dwelt upon are the three returning stars from the first two films. Everyone else is interchangeable and clearly set up as victims just waiting to be knifed.The plot is pretty nonsensical and has far too many characters involved. In essence, yet another mystery killer is on the loose, this time murdering cast members of 'Stab 3', a film based on the supposed true-life killings surrounding Sidney Prescott. Yes, it's all about self-referencing once again, and although the in-jokes are thankfully cut down this time, it's still confusing, lazy, and pretty boring, to be honest. I had no idea who the director was which why I was utterly surprised that Wes Craven made this – it bears none of his trademark suspense, wit, or atmosphere, elements that made the first film in this series so good.I'm really not a main fan of the actors involved and that didn't really help me. David Arquette reprises his role of the bumbling cop, a character so annoying you want to fillet him yourself. Courtney Cox, skeletal and frightening, isn't too bad, but Neve Campbell is on auto pilot here and seems immensely bored with everything. The only actor I appreciated was Lance Henriksen, who's wasted in a minor red herring role – it's still great to see him and he ends up acting everyone off the screen anyway.Everything here seems to be toned down – from the gore (we're left with a series of moderately bloody stabbings that bear absolutely no imagination) to the suspense (non-existent) to the will-it-never-end twist ending. I really only bothered sitting through the whole thing in the interests of completeness, and to be honest I wish I hadn't bothered – SCREAM 3 is just as lacklustre as its predecessor. By now, the whole extended chase scenes involving the ghost-face killer are completely laughable and reminded me of the same year's SCARY MOVIE. Why they just didn't go ahead and make this one an out-and-out comedy I don't know.

The main reason I thought Scream was so good was the way it played with fans' expectations. It said 'Here's what usually happens in the genre, and here's what we're going to do'. Sometimes that was to totally subvert a genre convention and sometimes it was to follow one, having first pointing out that it was one. I thought it added a lot of humour to the film, as well as being very clever. With Scream 2 we got more subversion and more of a kind of knowing wink, which was delicious. With the third, imaginatively titled Scream 3, we got something that appears to going somewhere new and interesting, but soon became a little run-of-the-mill and very predictable. In short, it turned into the very kind of stuff that the original and the follow-up were lampooning. OK, there are moments in this which are worth a giggle, but I wasn't rubbing my hands together with delight at how clever it was, as I had done with the first two. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that, as the movie progresses, it gets sillier and more contrived. It pains me to say it, having loved the first two, but, the trilogy ends, not on a high, how it should have, but rather fizzles out.

Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson return for the third installment of the slasher horror that pleased critics and horror fans all around the country in the 90s, only this time, lot less fun or exciting than the previous two. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott who now works as a crisis counselor and is living isolated deep in the woodsy area of California, traumatized by the violent Woodsboro murders from the first two movies. Back in her hometown, Hollywood director Roman Bridger (played by Scott Foley) is working on slasher horror titled 'Stab 3' based on the Woodsboro murders. The production quickly goes awry when Ghostface makes his return and begins murdering the cast one-by-one. Sidney teams up with Gale (played by Courtney Cox) and Dewey Riley (played by David Arquette) to stop Ghostface's murderous onslaught once and for all.As this is the third installment of the series, there is lots of discussion about movie trilogies, and basically what the characters claim is that the third installment in a film series is about going back to the past and learning a shocking truth of what happened in the first film. We are also introduced to a set of new characters, most of which are very one-dimensional other than Parker Posey and Scott Foley's character. Compared to the previous two films, this one marks a low point for the series. The plot is much less clever and less original, and is completely devoid of scares or good humor. While the plot centers on the characters trying to solve the murders of the cast of the (fictional)movie 'Stab 3', the film throws a huge, needless sub plot of detectives trying to solve of Sidney's mother who was murdered which is made the plot so uneven. To make matters worse, Sidney has reduced screen time and appears in no more than half of the scenes, while the film focuses on Gale, Dewey, and these other new characters. The only thing redeeming about this film is the big twist at the end. Other than that, this film lacks the spirit and scares of the previous movies.Scream 3 is definitely my least favorite of the series and one of the most disappointing third installments I have seen. Unless you are a huge fan of the series, this one is probably worth staying away from.
