Scream 3

 Starring: Neve Campbell

 Directed by: Wes Craven

 Rated R

 Genre: Horror

 Synopsis: When a movie comes out detailing the horror of the Woodsboro incident, murders being to happen again, and Sidney is forced out of isolation to try and help stop these atrocities once and for all.  

 My Thoughts: This is the third movie (obviously by the title of the film) in the Scream trilogy. This movie also suffers from the effect of the dreaded sequel syndrome. This was not nearly as good as the first one, and was not quite as good as the second one. Let us see how everything adds up.

   Scorecard

     Acting- Neve Campbell was barely in this movie, so I consider her a non factor. Arquette again, was surprisingly good, Courtney Cox was okay as the bitchy reporter turned celebrity for writing a book that this new movie was based on. The acting was nothing special, but at least I could tell that there was something going on. (1/2)

     Direction- The direction of this movie was almost non existent. Which is sad. I really wanted to understand what was going on, but it was hard to follow with the twists and turns this film threw out. (0)

     Story- This story was actually pretty interesting. I liked the idea of another copycat killer going after people that acted and filmed a few copycat killers...(did that make sense?) I liked the story. (1)

     Expectations- I really was hoping that this movie would be a satisfying end to the trilogy, it really wasn't. But it met the expectations I had, I was expecting it to be a decent horror movie, with some cheese added to it...that's what it was. (1/2)

     Boring?- Kind of. There was not a lot of action to this movie, there was more psychology than anything else. Not exactly the best thing to keep you from taking your eyes off the screen, but this movie was solid enough to keep me from complaining. (1/2)

  Final Score: 2 1/2 out of 5

 Final Thoughts: This movie is recommended because it was apart of the trilogy. While it wasn't a very satisfying way to end the series, it was good enough from having people complain a lot about it. This is one of those films that you really need to decide for yourself on if it is good or not. Personally, it was average, nothing more, and nothing less. Don't see this movie without seeing the first two.
