Review of Scream 3

Scream 3 (2000)
5/10
Pointless but fun entertainment; cameos worth the price...
5 February 2000
I can't say that Scream 3 scared me, as there's nothing really original in this movie that hasn't been covered in the original and the sequel. The plotline is familiar, yet the movie does contain some fun.

Two different cameo appearances gave me a chuckle, so these alone were almost worth the price of the movie. I'm not going to reveal who these cameos are, but if you've been to some one star was made famous in the 70's while another duo is a youth pop culture favorite of the 90's.

The style of the movie is familiar, and why not. Scream 3 is directed by Wes Craven, so it has the same feel and rhythm of the other two Scream movies. Fortunately, the movie has three of the main surviving characters returning, which adds to the fun of the film.

There's also a nice video return of a character who doesn't live past the first sequel. It explains the rules for the final chapters of trilogies--but this movie doesn't follow all these rules...

Does that mean that this is NOT a trilogy? Literally, and symbolicly the door is left open in the final shot.

I suspect that there'll be another Scream in the works as long as the money keeps rolling in. Didn't they do that already in the Friday the 13th movies?
