First of all....I liked it. Now I know what you are thinking....you thought this reviewer didn't like horror films...well that's true, I don't, because I don't like screaming out loud in the theater (tends to be kinda embarrassing).
You see when I go and see a scary movie, I jump, I kick the seat in front of me, I fling my arms, and at times, I let out a loud yell. Now those seated next to me are only bothered if they are in the seat to my right, because that is the direction I jump and end up hitting them.
Okay enough about me. How would I describe "Scream 3", well simply put, it made me scream out loud approximately 7 times, jump twice, and fling my arms to the right just once (while I was with five others, the seat to the right of me remained empty). So in my book, that's a pretty good movie.
Wes Craven, the ever so delightful Director, has created another fantastic film. He incorporates elements of the previous two movies by bringing back not only some of the characters, but also the old storylines. You see, Wes is a truly a creepy person. He creates the illusion of a movie within a movie (sure he did the same thing in the last Freddy flick, but this time he's better at it).
You see in this movie, he is making "Stab 3" and it's based upon the true life story of what we saw in "Scream 1". He has actors playing the parts of the people killed in the first movie and has recreated the town of Woodsboro on the set of "Stab 3". Well, guess who shows up...yep the masked guy with that cool voice-changing gadget (obviously designed by an MSOE graduate, because it's so cool and works perfectly).
I have to stop here to make a quick comment...isn't that mask just totally freaky? We all know Freddy with his scissors and Jason with his hockey mask were a little freaky looking too, but you have to admit that the masked guy is just plain old creepy. Okay back to the story, while the masked guy keeps showing up around corners, the basement, and in the closets, the characters (and ultimately the audience) keep on going into those places only to end up being the next best thing to sliced bread. How does one believe the masked guy is still alive? Didn't we see him or her die in the previous two movies, so who is the killer now? Well, the killer is....ha, thought I was going to tell didn't you? Well I'm not, but the explanation laid out in this film is quite cool and quite believable.
Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott), Courtney Cox (Gale Weathers), David Arquette (Dewey Riley) and Liev Schreiber (Cotton Weary) are all back for another round, but this time they are joined by their acting counterparts to bring about a great movie within a movie with a creative storyline.
Bottom line....if you hear a rather large male screaming out loud during a scary movie and you think it sounds like a girl screaming....I would prefer that you say it sounded more like a mature woman. I do have feelings you know.
