I've only seen two other slasher horror movies where it goes beyond three films long so far in my life. And with both Friday the 13th and Halloween, the third film is my least favorite of each of the franchises. However, Scream 3 broke that rule big time with me!
At the beginning of Scream Three, Sidney Prescott is living alone and in isolation out in the woods, having been heavily traumatized by the two series of Ghostface killings that took place in her life. Gale and Dewey have broken up...again, and Cotton Weary is a popular talk show host while the Stab movies have begun their third entry in their bloody franchise. But now a new slew of Ghostface killings have begun, but who is the killer this time?
What I enjoyed about this film was how it didn't play exactly by the rules of a horror movie, but instead more by the rules of a traditional trilogy like Star Wars and The Godfather. The acting and characters are great, as usual, and, even though I had researched the plot of the film, there were parts where I wondered what would happen next and who the latest Ghostface Killer was. Plus, I was really glad that Dewey got that hero moment he deserved in the first two movies at the spectacular climax sequence.
Even though this movie is really a solid conclusion to the Scream franchise, I can't wait to start watching the next three movies in the franchise, to say nothing of the TV Series, and I am psyched now that Neve Campbell is returning for Scream 7. I wonder who will be the Ghostface for the seventh film, and I can't help but wonder, since Kevin Williamson is returning to write and direct the film, it might be one of the original intended Ghostface Killers from this film. (If you know, you know. If you don't, well, do some research.)
Plus, I really loved Carrie Fisher's cameo. I truly laughed out loud when I saw it. Seeing McDreamy getting his butt kicked in this film, though, seemed kind of mean. I hope he comes back for Scream 7, also.
Stay Scared!
