    "The final Scream is going to be the loudest!"

    Sidney visits the set of "Stab 3," after pictures of her mother become the clue to a series of murders around Hollywood.

    REVIEW

    Years after t...( read more)he horror that occurred in Scream and Scream 2, Campbell is living a life of isolation in fear that the nightmare that was her past will come back to haunt her. The public awaits in anticipation as the newest film depicting the incidents is set to hit theaters, but it's put on hold when a serial killer suddenly strikes targeting actors, family members, and everyone else even remotely connected to the past murders. A clever scenario with some good twists, and a capable cast, but the film is lacking in scares and lacks the truly spine-chilling atmosphere that it needs to make it work. Almost plays out like a convoluted murder mystery that's in desperate need of adrenaline.

    You won't scream in terror, nor will you scream in laughter, you'll scream at the screen due to the lack of quality in this Thank-fuck-it's-over conclusion. I can't see much difference between this film and Scary Movie, it's spoof.

    I can't believe they made another one. This time another movie about the killings is being made but each cast member is being picked off by a serial killer. Reunites Sydney, Gail and Dewy.

    Hats of to Wes Craven, one of the best film-makers of our time, for creating the best trilogy ever made. (IMO)

    This is the thrid film in the Scream series. While it was good it still does not measure up to the original. This time we have Sidney and friends back on the set of the movie called Stab. Basically about the famous killings that reflect her life. Of course another killer is lose ...( read more)and killing people on set. Some what predictable and having you wonder how is this killer connected to the rest make any sense. But it was still entertaining and the movie has a great cast. You still get some great chase and death scenes. The story is decent and made for a nice conclusion to the other two films. If you enjoyed the other Scream films then give this a chance.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The result is the usual fragmentary mixture of jolts and jokes, knife-wielding maniacs and red herrings. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

If Scream was like a funny joke, Scream 2 was like somebody telling you, 'here's how I heard that joke,' and Scream 3 is like somebody who won't believe you've already heard it. full review

    I love the Scream trilogy! David, Courtney, and Neve do GREAT jobs playing their roles. They make the movies great. Even though you can usually tell when someone is going to die, you always think you know who the killer is.. and in the end, its someone completely different. The Screams are the best horror films in my opinion. They are entertaining, and well played out. Great movies come from great actors.
