Amazon.co.uk Review
What should have been an explosive finale to the trilogy in IScream 3/I 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 IScream/I, 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 IStab 3/I, the third in the fictional film series based on the original Woodsboro murders of the first IScream/I 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. p 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 IStab 3/I. Ultimately, though, as the closing chapter in a great horror series, IScream 3/I fails to live up to its predecessors. --IJonathan Weir/I

5 out of 5 stars Scream 3 was the best   December 23, 2008
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. br /br /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. br /br /ROLL ON 2010 FOR SCREAM 4 (CAN'T WAIT)


1 out of 5 stars VERY POOR SEQUEL   October 17, 2008
Yes, Scream was very good. Scream 2 was okay. But this is just total garbage. There is nothing new here - you'd think that if they had planned a trilogy they'd done some better planning, but no! You don't care about the characters getting killed (a problem most slashers have). I was very disappointed, especially as this film got hyped so much. Stick with Scream 1 and stop there! This one I wouldn't even buy for one cent! If you expect the gore level to increase - big surprise there as well. This could have gotten a 12 Certificate. So on the bottom line you've got a slasher that has absolutely NOTHING to offer. Why bother?


5 out of 5 stars Yet another fab sequal!   December 13, 2007

It is hardly surprising that this was brilliant saying the first two were aswell. Sequals often get more and more worse in my opinion, however this was very much alike to the first two. br /A must see to any scream fans!


4 out of 5 stars A GREAT ENDING TO THE SERIES   November 3, 2007
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Following a brutal murder, Gale Weathers, (Courteney Cox) is contacted by Det. Mark Kincaid, (Patrick Dempsey) as she has knowledge of the murders, and determines that Roman Bridger, (Scott Foley) new horror movie could be a target. Meeting up with Dewey Riley, (David Arquette) again on-set, she is turned away until the rest of the cast, Jennifer Jolie, (Parker Posey) Angelina Tyler, (Emily Mortimer) Tyson Fox, (Deon Richmond) Sarah Darling, (Jenny McCarthy) and Tom Prinze, (Matt Keeslar) begin dying in the order they do in the script. Using it as a chance to reconnect, they end up bringing up Sidney Prescott, (Neve Campbell) connection to the killings. When she becomes a target from the killer, the three friends and remaining cast members manage to find that her mother had a connection to what is going on, and try to stay out of the way of the killer.br /br /The Good News: Frankly, this one isn't as bad as some think it is. The fact that, for once, the stalking scenes are suspenseful is one of the film's greatest strengths. The opening is just as good as the others, which gets really going early on with the phone-call, and from there it goes into the great bedroom search that is really suspenseful. This one also has some suspense from the calls, which here are finally done right. The twist with the different voices rather than the one is a great one, since it adds to whether or not the voice is real or the killer's. there's also nothing wrong with any of the stalking scenes in here. There's a fantastic scene inside the studio where the killer chases one of the actors through the different backstage areas, and with several great creative ideas brought in, this one scene leaves a great impression. The assault on the house is fantastic, features a couple great scenes and ends with a bang. The best scenes, though, come from all the stalking and chasing down at the end. From the discoveries in the basement to the chase behind the glass mirrors in the secret passageways and much more, these scenes are pure joy to watch and really get entertaining. This one has plenty of action to it as well, including a frenetic chase through rush-hour traffic, the fantastic house assault and the big chase through the studio are all fun and really keep the film going. These, plus the film's stalking give the film a fantastic pace to it. The fact that this one also decides to really fill in a couple of holes in the story. This one really fills in the holes nicely, and there's some fun to be had from the really good explanations, which make sense and makes this really feel like a well-rounded trilogy. These here are what the film does right.br /br /The Bad News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of flaws. The biggest one is that there's a whole lot of padded time in the film. This one, unlike the others, is way too long and seems stretched out. The beginning hallucinations don't do much, as there's no reason why these are there other than to give false scares and stretch out the time. Even the ending is stretched, which is just far too long and drawn-out. The explanations just take forever and at several points gets too over-explained, becoming a torturous monologue to something that was perfectly understood minutes earlier. This one also really lacks in the slashing department. The kills are hardly unique, with only two or three not done in a singular fashion, and those don't have gore to them at all. These small flaws are what keep the film down.br /br /The Final Verdict: With a lot to really like about it and only a few mild flaws, this is a certainly fun entry in the series. Really recommended for those who love the teeny-slashers at the time or are huge fans of the series, who will find a lot to like about this one, while those who aren't big fans of the two will really be left cold with this one.br /


3 out of 5 stars It makes you squeal in delight rather than scream in fright   February 13, 2006
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Ok, the first 'Scream' is excellent. No doubt. Its first sequel was a dull film, reiterating the same tricks, which is boring.pHowever, 'Scream 3' is great, owing to its hilarious script. Some of the lines are melodramatic, and the production team made a wise decision in employing Parker Posey to read them! She is the one to whom you warm the most, because of her "ditsiness". It is genuinely AWFUL when her character is killed off.pNeve Campbell is back, along with her colleagues from the previous two films, David Arquette and Courtney Cox-Arquette, all of whom pulling off their characters at the same high standard. Sydney is still uptight. Dewey is still charming. Gail Weathers is still annoying.pThe film moves along at a steady pace and does not let your attention drop, mainly owing to, as I have said, the comic element to the film, which has not been so present in its predecessors. Also, it toys with the 'film within a film' scenario, which works well since the trilogy deals with serial killers imitating murderers in film.pSo why have I given this only 3 stars? It's because some moments of the film had potential to go further (I mean they could have been much better), and what there was of these scenes was therefore mildly disappointing. Linked to this, some of the acting is rather static (not by the leading actors, of course).pHowever the twist is a real twist and the film nicely "wraps up" the story.pIt's a good film so long as you don't take it seriously.
