When Randy the video geek rattles off the rules of surviving a horror movie in Wes Craven's Scream, he speaks for a generation of filmgoers who are all too aware of slasher movie clichés. Playfully scripted by Kevin Williamson with a self-aware wink and more than a few nods to its grandfathers (from Psycho to Halloween to the Friday the 13th dynasty), Scream 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 bestsellers, 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 (Stab) develops within the movie series. Scream remains the high point of the series--a fresh take on a genre long since collapsed into routine, but Scream 2 spoofs itself with witty humor ("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 Scream 3, which plays out on the movie set of Stab 3. (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 (Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer) have further drained the zeitgeist, but the film bubbles with bright humor, 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. --Sean Axmaker

 Great Experience September 7, 2008
Got the movie in excellent condition. A little later than expected but Amazon took care of the confusion right away. Thanks Amazon
 A good finish but lacking. March 31, 2008
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I always did enjoy the Scream series. For it's plot twisted story telling and surprises. Plus the lack of a super human killer that keeps coming back. Jason anyone? The Scream Trilogy was all about revenge and suspense. Scream 3 succeeds in it's suspense and shock factor. But it's still just run o' the mill with an already used plot.
Now ignoring the fact this is seen that before. Somethings were done right. Such as being a bit more innovative with the killer. But what I didn't like was the "trilogy factor" not being carried out to its full potential. When they played the video to learn what they were dealing with. That one scene had the most impact to me. Too bad it was only introduced.
Scream 3 to me was wasted potential to a certain degree. It had the one element to set itself apart from the first two and failed to deliver. Still, it was a good addition and finish to the series. Although not scary buy any stretch. It is still good entertainment.
Scream...Laugh...It's Entertaining December 2, 2007
Although the 3rd film leaves MUCH to be desired, it is still great entertaining. With witty characters (that both deserve and don't deserve death) throughout the series, everything has a purpose. The end of the 3rd sucks when you find out who the killer is, and you will feel a little cheated, but all in all, this packaged set is a good buy for any fan of the series.
4 Stars because the 3rd just isn't the greatest and left me a little dissapointed, but nothing too major. :)
Not bad but not great. October 28, 2007
Scream 3 is the most disappointng of the triology and I am very happy they stopped after this one. Directed once again by Wes Craven, Scream 3 has all the same cliches as the first two and although the twists were sharp and witty, you just felt cheated and let down by the Hollywood style ending. The house explosion scene is the best of the entire series I have to admit but casting Jenny McCarthy and Parker Poser it's like just kill them already! Scott Foley who I like on Felicity, plays against type in this one, you can see him struggle tremendously. Scream 3 overall isn't awful, it's just the weakest of the series.
happy with product May 16, 2007
it arrived in a timely manner and played well.
