To end my Scream reviews I will be reviewing Scream 3. This movie stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, Jenny McCarthy, Liev Shrieber, Lance Henrikson, and Carrie Fischer. Let the running commentary begin.
Running Commentary -
Starts off with Cotton Weary on the phone in his car. He gets a strange phonecall from a woman. The woman says he's naughty and what would his girlfriend. The voice changer switches and it's a guy who says he's right outside of his girlfriend in the shower. The guy says he wants to know where Sydney Prescott is. Cotton speeds off to save his girlfriend before she gets killed.
Christine changes and suddenly a song by Creed starts playing over the stereo. Cotton talks to her but it's the ghostface killer with a voice changer and a knife. She locks herself in a closet before the killer gets at her. Cotton arrives and his 100% Cotton show is on the TV. He gets a baseball bat and sneaks through the house. Christine confronts him and charges him with a golf club. She thinks he wants to kill her but he tries to calm her down. She smacks him down only to get stabbed by the real killer. The killer pushes Cotton over his desk and then stabs him. The killer tells him he should've told him where Sidney was and then says he loses before stabbing him to death. Good opening sequence.
Sydney lives in the hills and works as an operator in the California Women's Crisis Center phone line.
Gail Weathers giving a speech at a conference. She's an anchorwoman now and Mark Kincaid from the LAPD shows up afterwards to tell her that Cotton was dead. He shows her a picture and she recognizes her as Maureen Prescott, Sydney's mother. Sydney sees the story about it on the news too.
Stab 3 is being filmed at the same time all of this is going on.
LANCE HENRIKSON! JENNY MCCARTHY!

The person on the line says her name is Sarah and she's mad that there's a new script and a new movie. The man says his new movie is he's going to kill her. Now she's frightened and runs off. She ends up hiding in the costume room with all the ghostface costumes. She calls for security on her cellphone as the killer sneaks out and pushes her costume rack through the door. She fights him with fake props but he smashes her through a window and stabs her.

Dewey recognizes the background in the picture of one of Maureen's old photo and it's at the studio Stab 3 is being shot at.
The killer comes out of nowhere and kills Jennifer's security guard.
Everyone meets up and the security guard falls over dead right in front of them. They get a fax from the killer and the house explodes after the guy who plays Dewey flicks open his lighter and the gas in the house makes it explode. Everyone else makes it out after rolling down the hill in the back.
The detective thinks there's a third killer and Sydney might know who it is. Dewey argues with the detectives about the case. Sydney shows up and says the killer called her.

He says the killer will be superhuman, anyone including the main character can die, and the past will come back to bite you in the ass.

Overall:
2 out of 5 stars. Stupid garbage horror flick. Nothing special about this at all. I really hated the story and most of the characters. The killer was stupid too.
