Amazon.co.uk Review
When Randy the video geek rattles off the rules of surviving a horror movie in Wes Craven's IScream/I, he speaks for a generation of filmgoers who are all too aware of slasher-movie cliches. Playfully scripted by Kevin Williamson with a self-aware wink and more than a few nods to its grandfathers (from IPsycho/I to IHalloween/I to the IFriday the 13th/I dynasty), IScream/I skewers teen horror conventions with loving reverence while re-creating them in a modern, movie-savvy context. And so goes the series, which continues the satirical spoofing by tackling (what else?) sequels while sustaining its own self-contained mythology. Catty reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) turns grisly murders into lurid best-sellers, a cult of killer wannabes continues to hunt spunky psycho-survivor Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) for their 15 minutes of fame, and a cheesy movie series (IStab/I) develops within the movie series.pIScream/I remains the high point of the series--a fresh take on a genre long since collapsed into routine, but IScream 2/I spoofs itself wittily ("Why would anyone want to do that? Sequels suck!" opines college film student Randy), and delights with more elaborate set-pieces and all-new rules for surviving a horror movie sequel. The endangered veterans of the original film reunite one last time for IScream 3/I, which plays out on the movie set of IStab 3/I (it's a trilogy within a trilogy!). With Williamson gone, replacement screenwriter Ehran Kruger tries to mine the formula one more time. It's a little tired by now, and pale imitations (IUrban Legend/I, II Know What You Did Last Summer/I) have further drained the zeitgeist, but the film bubbles with bright humour and director Craven is stylistically at the top of his game. As a trilogy, it remains both the most consistently entertaining and self-aware horror series ever made. --ISean Axmaker, Amazon.com/I

5 out of 5 stars 3 5 star films   September 4, 2008
The Scream films are great. All of them are funny, gorey, creepy and surprisingly believable. Fantastic films at excellent value for money.

The Scream trilogy brought fresh new blood (in copious amounts) to the horror film genre. Mixing humor, pop culture, and horror, the original Scream laid the foundation for a series that carried a lot of energy through two sequels. Scream 2 was something of a step backwards from the first movie, but Scream 3 marked a turn back in the right direction. Fortunately, Wes Craven knew when to stop, as Scream 3 evidenced some decline in the novelty of the concept, leaving us with three movies we can appreciate over and over again throughout the coming years. The only problem I have with Scream 3 is the fact that it looked and sounded like a movie, whereas the original had enough of a hold on reality to make the experience seem like something at least remotely plausible in the everyday world


5 out of 5 stars Funny and Scary!   April 16, 2008
All 3 of the scream installments succeed in providing moments of suspence, and alot of comedy moment such as relating their situations to Horror movies they have seen.br /br /I really enjoyed all three of the Scream installments, however, Scream 2 is not quite as pleasing as the other two. This is mainly because there are not many new ideas used and in places less entertaining, but its still pretty good! Scream 3 is brilliant and possibly the best. It combines the ideas from the previous Scream films and and alot of new ideas, and twists (mainly the ending).br /br /Overall, Scream is more than just a cheap American teen horror and this box set is well worth buying, especially at such a competetive price from Amazon! :)


4 out of 5 stars 1st and 3rd fantastic!!! 2nd okay   January 5, 2008
I gave this boxset four overall as the first one is absolutly amazing, the third one is really good but not as good, and the second one is abit of a bore.br /The first scene of Scream 1 made me feel so scared. I knew that I was in for a scary night. The acting is really good, and the suspense and violence is brilliant.br /The second Scream starts off quite well, with two people being killed in the cinema during the film based on the killings called 'Stab.' Then, it got to be the same thing. People being rung up, tormented, killed, then everyone being a suspect. This is the worst one of the trilogy.br /The third and final installment is quite good. I thought it would be crap as the second was. It was the same thing though, but the ending was very entertaining, even though some of the people were v. OTT when they were running.br /Overall, a good boxset. Don't bother missing the second one as you would need them all to understand the third one.


1 out of 5 stars Forget high definition this isn't even standard definition   July 27, 2007

These movies are 2.35:1 aspect ratio yet some moron decided to encode the DVDs in 4:3! That means nearly 2/3 of the video frame is wasted with black borders. If (like me) you have a widescreen display that assumes it can't crop 4:3 sources then you end up with a tiny little image in the middle of the screen. Presumably this is so we go buy the high def version when they release it.
