I enjoy all the Scream films from start to finish. The two scenes I don’t like are the cafeteria scene in Scream 2 & the stupid explosion in Scream 3. Everything else from the 4 films were excellent if you ask me. Even enjoyed the Jay & Silent Bob cameo in Scream 3 😂
if they were to ever do soft-reboot like what they did to terminator franchise, is just do it as direct sequel to first film. and bring in the OG idea from scream 3. that will include ghostface cult. it would be similar to Terminator dark fate, where it takes place in separate timeline than first 5 movies.
This is the only film in the franchise with the reveal where I was like, "who is this guy?" It took me a minute to remember his character, I think because he usually wears glasses in the film haha
That was billy Loomis mom for Me first time ever watching it. I'm like who is she? She cane off as irrelevant and had such minimal af scenes. Later rewatching it I see stuff in background abd I get technically she only did in randy and was the funder lol I was like 11 I think when it came out. Idk I remember entering 6th when 3 came out and demanding my mom buy both previous films so i watch them before she drops me to see it🤷♂️
Same! He was so irrelevant and then "died" in the basement. So when he turned out to be the killer, I was like "the fuck?" And his motivation just totally came out of nowhere, though the movie did set it up. His backstory was truly tragic (being a rape baby) and could have made for great food for thought but I think it was too little too late. The Stu reveal would have been better, and I always thought that Angelina would have made more sense as one of the killers. She was literally playing Sidney in the Stab film.
Chris, your reviews are so good. I loved what you said about Sidney and her brother both being victims of a generational trauma. Profound and insightful.
The dream sequence when Sydney's mom is at the window and on the set when she's see her and says "come give momma a Hug" used to scare the shit out of me.
@@talksick508 I agree Scream 3 isn't bad. It was just a little plain. It also had it's moments and exciting scenes.i actually prefer Scream 3 over Scream 2.
stu being the ghostface of scream 3 sounded like such a smart idea, imagine a scene where (after randy dies) sidney’s only hope is visiting stu in jail and asking him for clues, i already feel tense thinking about it, but we’re too deep into the franchise to see stu coming back as a ghostface.
I honestly think that Scream 3 was the weakest point in the franchise that they tried to revive it with Scream 4 which did a better job of being a sequel.
Loving 1,2 & 4. I just like 3 but it’s still nice for the franchise imo. “wasted potential” a great word for it. My mans Cotton in the opening scene was nerve wrecking, i like the Stab movie setting tbh and the voice changer is 🔥!! The roman/producer plot just make Syd mom nasty… like the first one, they hate Syd mom💀
I've always loved Scream 3. My Dad took me to see it in theaters when it came out, I was 11 haha. After it came out on VHS it became the running joke (to this day) with my buddies that when they came over I'd ask them if they wanted to watch Scream 3. Just love that opening scene! This movie is near and dear to me haha but really I think it's because it's a Scream movie and I love all of them. Have since 1997 when I snuck and watched my parents rental copy of the original haha good times. Thanks for this amazing review and recap series Chris, awesome to hear your take on these classic slashers flicks.
One the best parts of this movie is how much it made fun of Scream 2! Jenny McCarthy character named "Sarah Darling" was based off wes on the set of Scream 2 always saying to Sarah Michelle Gellar "Sarah.... Darling" haha Wes the 🐐
I have to wait til Saturday for the 5cream but oooooooh boy am I excited!!! My phone will go silent from UA-cam and Facebook once it’s out so I don’t get spoiled like Spider-Man
Yeah that’s one thing I noticed on rewatching it the other day - they brought the bad shit that you hear about Hollywood into this entry of the franchise. I wonder if the writer was trying to bring it to light, seeing as it eventually came to light with the Me Too movement in the past decade.
The only issue with the voice changer is that with all the films, you would also hear the person talking's voice matched over the voice box/Roger's voice. Much like Syd at the end of Scream when talking on the phone using the voice box. It would never be perfectly one voice as it has been, especially when yelling, like Cotton was.
yeah the opening kill, was alright but anyone get that opening kill always relate back to killer motviations in each film. Where 1st film was simply because billy and stu wanted to embrace horror movies to fit their agenda, second film had woman crying in bathroom stall referring to how ms loomis is still mourning over lost of her son, but third film. i think was something to do with betrayal as maurren cast out roman, he felt somehow betrayed by her love, in which he never gotten. at the same time cotton was cheating on his wife on the phone, which is another reference to maurren time in hollywood sleeping with different men, one of which billy father
@@elijahlamar7 I'm referring to all the movies. Before part 3 and forward has been the same. And it wouldn't work like that. Even in part e it wouldn't. You would never have a voicebox that is 100% just that one voice. It would always be a mix of both voices overlayed. The new voice box was just a newer version. But also, back in 1999 when they made part 3, that technology didn't exist to copy voices. We still don't even completely have that technology today. We can take existing audio and make those people say what we want, and it's still not 100% perfect. But getting there.

Seriously with you on that, wish she would have made it. Walking in as a jump scare at the end with a puppy, movie candy, and a stack of Blockbuster rentals; JENNIFER: Okay, I brought Halloween II, Mommie Dearest, and So, I Married an Axe Murderer. (The group glares)

I liked 3. It was a good origin story. They were consistent with the original about Sidneys mom getting around. And the sinister consequences from it. It was cool that Roman was the one who motivated Billy.
Love the reviews! Even as someone who loves the Scream franchise I never thought about the fact of the crime scene in her house being so accurate due to the “Director’s” first hand memory
I just wanna say you are my favorite UA-camr and have gotten me through some tough times. I've been down lately because of school stressing me out thank you Chris.
i really don't understand why everybody is hating on scream 3. i love it. it's my second favorite of the franchise. i also think it's the scariest one of them because of the mystery and it's way better to have the brother as ghostface than a cousin. as mutch i love stue i'm glad he didn't come back in scream 3 (that story with the fanclub sounds a bit lame to be honest)
Love your point of view! Also I don’t hate it I have more to complain about then the other sequels but I agree it’s still enjoyable. Thanks For The Support!
I'm pretty sure the reason Neve was only available for 20 days wasn't because she didn't want to be type cast but more because her popularity had risen because of these films and she had a lot of commitments that clashed with Kevin Williamson's schedule so it came down to one or the other and Kevin stepped down as writer so Neve could be in the movie. Which is why Kruger came on as writer after Kevin sold them an outline for Scream 3
I hope they don't do the stu storyline for scream 5 cause it's been 25 years, it be ridiculous he would have this plan set thru all that time and none of the characters not know he's still alive in jail
Tbh, I do like Scream 3 a good bit eve though it's definitely at the bottom of my ranking of the franchise. I can get behind the killer reveal and his motive, the character interactions are still great, there's a pretty awesome action scene of the house exploding, and honestly, the main plot of where Sidney is now in life makes total sense. The part of the film that pisses me off the most is the paranormal stuff they do with Sidney's mom when she's in the backyard of Sidney's home. I still don't understand why they put that in the film. I'd still give this film a 4.5/10 though since there's still some fun to be had in Scream 3.
Regardless. Scream 3 is still a great fun to watch when you’re binging the whole series. It has its fun moments and it’s bad moments but it’s still a great laugh.
@@Blockburna254 We all have our preferences man 🤣😂 but Scream 3 was the only one not written by Kevin Williamson or have his involvement at all and it shows.
@@Blockburna254 Nah, 3 was definitely the worst. You could tell some writers were missing with how cliche the movie was. Sidney, gale, and Dewey making dumb decisions and Roman being a forgettable character whose only relevance was being Sidney long lost brother, which was also a pretty cringey reveal since Scream is supposed to be making fun of trilogies, but ends up becoming the joke of trilogies with Scream 3
The Wes craven joke was funny idc what anybody says just Chris face while sayin the joke was GOLD 😂💯 love ya channel Chris man every video u put out makes my day better even if I’m not interested in the video I really be here for Chris fr fr
The final scene is also symbolic for the audience as it shows that despite it being the end of a trilogy, the door is being left open for further installments. I also consider Valentine (2001 starring Denise Richards) to be set in the same universe as the Scream franchise as it's a murder mystery slasher film and Denise Richards' character is called Paige Prescott and looks similar to Sidney.
I know lots of people like the idea of bringing Stu back as this master manipulator behind a Scream movie, but I don’t really see it myself. It’s said that in duo killers, there’s always a leader of the pair. The other is more along for the ride. Friends who kill together, there’s always a leader, in married couples who kill, the same thing there. And with Stu and Billy, it shows Billy was really the one who lead Stu. And I always took Stu as a bit of an idiot really, someone who might have never murdered anyone if he never met Billy, who was doing what he did as ‘revenge’.
It makes sense for him to build a following of fans in prison. I mean as crazy as it sounds even the Gainesville killer (the original inspiration of Scream 1) was doing it for fame like Bundy. They need to mix it up, it is getting boring doing the cookie cutter 2 person leader & follower. Personally I would like it to be a cult like with 3+ for Scream 6 showing Stu at the end for a tease for 7.
I’ve never been too critical against this film, it’s still a solid 6.5/10 for me. Although the writing is not as strong, it’s Highly entertaining and I love the intro with Cotton. I could have done without the silly house/gas explosion scene + Sid’s ghost Mom appearing but the voice change used by Ghostface was pretty neat. Great review Chris!
I actually really likes Scream 3 lol it was funny, clever, witty, scary. I loved the throwback to Woodsborough and the back story of Roman being behind it all.
So I was born in 1998 and my mom never allowed me to watch horror movies, it was around 2009 that I went to a garage sale and saw Scream 3 in cassette. I still had a cassette player so I begged my mom to get it for me and she did. Therefore, my introduction to the Scream franchise was this one, actually it was my first in the horror genre . And I actually liked it, loved it even. But then again I was a kid and knew very little about horror movies. This movie has a spot in my heart as now I love horror movies so very much
I don't know how anyone can think Stu coming back would have been a good idea. IF they mentioned him surviving in Scream 2, sure. They didn't, so it would have just been a lazy way to bring back Stu when clearly he died. He was bleeding out AND had his face crushed by a 60lb TV.
I always found that so funny. It's like "hey look at me, I'm super protected right now with all this technology, but I still live in the middle of nowhere 😅"
I watched the movies out of order and jumped from the original Scream to Scream 3 before seeing part 2. I honestly enjoyed part 3, though I do acknowledge the criticisms others have given. It does take an abrupt change in tone with the Scooby-Doo mysterious energy you get from the Stab characters, but I sincerely loved Parker Posie, I don't care what anyone says. I liked how Sidney's character showed up. I also appreciated the deeper dive into Maureen Prescott's backstory.
You should watch The Following. It's a show starring Kevin Bacon and written by Kevin Williamson. Kevin Williamson used the Stu storyline of the 3rd movies script to make the 1st season. It's pretty good and interesting to see how things would have felt if they didn't trash the original scream 3 script.
The tone of Scream 3 was different because the real life Columbine massacre had taken place less than a year before the release and extreme media violence was under fire as a cause for people’s behavior. The producers had to be more mindful of what they created.
This was an amazing cinema experience for me as a child who was still in love with Mickeys pyschotic performance AND then the mansion setting! Super perfect slasher-like ending WOW! The reveal was badass, the mini issue was the character of Roman who wasnt that much of a shock. He was in like 2 scenes or 3 but ma guy Scott ate His performance just like richie, stu and Mickey! Master monologue!
Well Chris, there was a Alternate Ending to Scream 3, and it was explain by the UA-cam channel of "Beyond the Mask", that the movie, they were gonna watch was another tape by Randy, which explain about what about a happy ending, watch their video, it's explains it more in depth.
I know many hate it, but I actually love Scream 3. Part of it is that it was the one that was aired the most on TV when I was a kid in the early 2000s and I would watch it every single time.
I still love this movie cause it’s the first one I saw as a kid and I would always rewatch the third act cause I loved it sm the party massacre, and Sidney vs Roman the best ghostface fight in the series. Plus so many good sequences like the intro, Sidney on the set of stab 3, and the death sequence of Sarah Darling. It has a lot of pros and I still Enjoy this movie I’ll never argue it’s the “worst” in the franchise but people are so dramatic when saying it’s soooo bad like no it’s not Freddy’s dead, seed of chucky, Halloween resurrection. Plus my girl is just tired of all these killers at this point and Roman is the smartest killer and strongest he did all this by himself and even wore a bullet proof vest (yes ik angelina was supposed to be a killer but never happened). I prefer what we got than having Stu come back cause I don’t like that idea he survived the dude was stabbed like crazy and then a heavy tv smashed on his head
That “cult of crazy stab fans being lead by Stu” plot would have worked PERFECTLY for the new movie, and also Jack Quaid looks very similar to Mathew Lillard, they could have even made a connection there. I loved the new movie but hearing about this makes me think that not re using this scrapped plot was wasted potential, oh well, if we’re lucky they’ll probably use it for Scream 6 or 7
You must've been on drugs when u said Jack Quaid looks similar to Matthew Lilliard. They absolutely do NOT resemble eachother at all. Matthew Lilliard looks similar to Andrew McCarthy from friggin Weekend at Bernies and Pretty in Pink and Jack Quaid has a resemblance to Randy Quaid aka cousin Eddy from the vacation movies. They might be related in some way.
As a wannabe filmmaker myself I know how it feels to be told that you're script has been changed. The guy I was working with had no idea what he wanted the movie to be.
fun fact that you missed about the jay and silent bob cameo. courtney and wes craven ALSO cameo in jay and silent bob strike back. i’m pretty sure i read that it was kind of a collab thing
This being my entry point into the franchise makes me love it a bit more than it deserves however I do still recognize it as the worst of the franchise...I still have the most fun with this one, sumn about the line readings that just makes a lot of the lines funny as hell to me, it almost helps if you just view this one as a dark comedy
Dam the original script for the third film sounds like it would have been way better. It’s actually great it would have been a modern cult . That sounds scarier than just one ghost face
I think ghostface is luring sidney back home as we know that ghostface is always connected to sid And ghostface probably figured that when people start dying sidney will be there along with gale And so ghostface will lure her to stus house to finish sid off. And my theory is that Maybe stu is still alive
The "Sarah Darling" inside joke was actually about Sara Michelle Gellar from Scream 2 and how she frequently butted heads with Wes Craven - allegedly lol and he often called her "darling"
Anyone interested in seeing the original story for Scream 3 should watch the TV show, The Following. It was written by Kevin Williamson, based on his idea for Scream 3. It's not Ghostface and Sydney, but it's good television nonetheless.
Controversial opinion but I like this one more than 4 I’ve always enjoyed this one yes the characters are nowhere near the best but the opening scene and the 3rd act are incredible. I could give the film a 6.5 out of 10
The problems with Scream 3 are that it's a bad comedy instead of a horror film with comedic elements with the only serious things in it being the events of the previous 2 films having driven Sidney into hiding and the story of Maureen Prescott's rape which unfortunately is only there to justify the existence of retcon Roman and him being the killer. He takes away from Billy and Stu because instead of coming up with the plan to kill Maureen, frame Cotton and use Stu as an accomplice to pin it all on Billy apparently only did it because a stranger like Roman told him to. Some of the kills in this are uncreative just being back stabs and Tom in the exploding house was stupid. The multiple voices on the changer was dumb and the reveal of Roman wasn't effective because Sidney had never met him and was just confused rather than shocked like she was by Billy, Stu, Mickey and Mrs Loomis people she knew being killers.
Jay and silent bob strike back had a scene where they interrupted the shooting for ghost face trying to stop their movie from being made, so it was just a cool Easter egg of the movies crossing paths in their own universes but adding to the story that “it really happened”
The backstory for sydney's mother seems similar to the part of the sons of sam documentary with the actress and the movie director that was eventually found dead in los angeles.
16:39 It's dumb that Roman's basically saying he wanted to spend his life being chased by psychos either taking grudges against his mother out on him or wanting to become famous and seeing killing him as a way to do that. Sidney would rather Maureen have been alive and be a normal unknown woman than have "fame" from her ex boyfriend and his best friend killing her mother and being targeted by lunatics for the rest of her life.
He never said that. He only said that he wanted to be Maureen Prescotts child. Your forgetting that the only reason Maureen is dead is because of Roman himself. He convinced Billy to kill her with the help of an accomplice (Stu). And that’s only because Maureen shut him out and claimed Sidney as her only child. If she didn’t do that Roman would’ve never plotted on killing Maureen. So none of this would’ve actually happened had Maureen accepted Roman. Everything that happened is because of him so he’s not saying that he wanted to spend his life hunted by psychos, as they would never hunt him in the first place.
I don't about Stu coming back. How was he supposed to break out of jail without the main characters knowing? I think the brother thing was a bit of an homage to "Halloween II" (1981); if that's the case, even funnier since Laurie Strode doesn't get a lot of screen time in that, either.
"Dewey, he's got our voices" HOW??? That's something about the voice changer that makes no sense because even James and Chelsea from Dead Meat has talked about how that technology didn't exist in 2000
I gotta say, scream 3 is my favorite scream. I think it does meta so good here, it’s funny and scary, and I don’t think Roman is the best character, but I love his motive so much. It’s a great twist in my eyes. And the commentary on Hollywood’s treatment of women it done so well and was ahead of it’s time in terms of commentary in horror film.
You’re right that Roman sounded like a child. He should’ve told Sidney that he grew up in the system going from foster home to foster home while she had her “perfect life” Incidentally in 2010 when I heard Matthew Lillard say he was originally going to be the killer in Scream 3 from prison, I had an idea that used that but also had a cult of Ghostfaces. It’s funny because just right now I’m hearing that’s what Kevin Williamson had in mind. Great minds I suppose.
0:27 thank you! finally somebody remembers that line from Scooby Doo, hell of a job on the editing! "Are you challenging me?" had me on the floor 😅 #3CFilms
I’m my opinion. Scream 3 it’s so underrated. Great opening. And great ending. To me the 4th didn’t make any sense to me, and would made more sense bring Stu back if anything.
Why would Stu make any sense lol? He literally isn't mentioned in sequels and if a new killer did spring, wouldn't you think he'd be the number 1 suspect if he had survived
If he doesn't return as Ghostface in Scream 5 I will LITERALLY walk out of the theater. I'm kinda hoping those theories about one of the new characters being his son or nephew are true (avenge his death by going after everyone, especially the legacy characters).
Scream 3 was the equivalent to Jurassic Park 3. It was a good movie, but the formula was so different then the first 2, audiences bashed it. I love them both though. Scream 4 was all kinds of mess!
Nah, id argue it was the worst for sure. It doesn't even try to do something new. The killer reveal is cliche and has you asking who Roman was because he was barely in the film. It feels way too rushed and tries to hard to be the ultimate Scream movie, but ends up becoming the joke of trilogy finales it was trying to make fun of
I love this franchise more than most, I think Scream is perfect, but the original idea for Scream 3 makes me shriek. I'm really glad that did Not happen. Stu and Billy are some of my fave characters but they are dead; let them rest. That said, I really liked 3. I like Roman Bridger. Im happy with what we got, completely.

i really don't understand why everybody is hating on scream 3. i love it. it's my second favorite of the franchise. i also think it's the scariest one of them because of the mystery and it's way better to have the brother as ghostface than a cousin. as mutch i love stue i'm glad he didn't come back in scream 3 (that story with the fanclub sounds a bit lame to be honest)
Love your point of view! Also I don’t hate it I have more to complain about then the other sequels but I agree it’s still enjoyable. Thanks For The Support!
@@3CFilms do you think the fan club plot was recycled for Scream 4?!
It’s a classic !
@Jeremy Horne i don’t hate on people. just said i don’t understand. that’s a little different ✌️
I'm pretty sure the reason Neve was only available for 20 days wasn't because she didn't want to be type cast but more because her popularity had risen because of these films and she had a lot of commitments that clashed with Kevin Williamson's schedule so it came down to one or the other and Kevin stepped down as writer so Neve could be in the movie. Which is why Kruger came on as writer after Kevin sold them an outline for Scream 3
That’s exactly what it was
I hope they don't do the stu storyline for scream 5 cause it's been 25 years, it be ridiculous he would have this plan set thru all that time and none of the characters not know he's still alive in jail
Thankfully they didn't
Tbh, I do like Scream 3 a good bit eve though it's definitely at the bottom of my ranking of the franchise. I can get behind the killer reveal and his motive, the character interactions are still great, there's a pretty awesome action scene of the house exploding, and honestly, the main plot of where Sidney is now in life makes total sense. The part of the film that pisses me off the most is the paranormal stuff they do with Sidney's mom when she's in the backyard of Sidney's home. I still don't understand why they put that in the film. I'd still give this film a 4.5/10 though since there's still some fun to be had in Scream 3.
It’s a ptsd reaction that’s why they put it in
She’s secluded cause of it
And it triggers thoughts once she finds out about cotton being killed
Honestly like it better then Scream 2. It had a fun climax and wasn’t as boring.
Regardless. Scream 3 is still a great fun to watch when you’re binging the whole series. It has its fun moments and it’s bad moments but it’s still a great laugh.
Agreed!!
just finished rewatching the first one and I love that film sooooooooooooo much
For me it's in this order
1) Scream
2) Scream 4
3) Scream 2
4) Scream 3
Naw scream 4 was the worst 😂😂
@@Blockburna254 We all have our preferences man 🤣😂 but Scream 3 was the only one not written by Kevin Williamson or have his involvement at all and it shows.
@@Blockburna254 Nah, 3 was definitely the worst. You could tell some writers were missing with how cliche the movie was. Sidney, gale, and Dewey making dumb decisions and Roman being a forgettable character whose only relevance was being Sidney long lost brother, which was also a pretty cringey reveal since Scream is supposed to be making fun of trilogies, but ends up becoming the joke of trilogies with Scream 3
The Wes craven joke was funny idc what anybody says just Chris face while sayin the joke was GOLD 😂💯 love ya channel Chris man every video u put out makes my day better even if I’m not interested in the video I really be here for Chris fr fr
The final scene is also symbolic for the audience as it shows that despite it being the end of a trilogy, the door is being left open for further installments.
I also consider Valentine (2001 starring Denise Richards) to be set in the same universe as the Scream franchise as it's a murder mystery slasher film and Denise Richards' character is called Paige Prescott and looks similar to Sidney.
And they were both in Wild Things :P
@@stevezac_cptlpnshmnt which I have...still yet to watch. 😳
I know lots of people like the idea of bringing Stu back as this master manipulator behind a Scream movie, but I don’t really see it myself. It’s said that in duo killers, there’s always a leader of the pair. The other is more along for the ride. Friends who kill together, there’s always a leader, in married couples who kill, the same thing there. And with Stu and Billy, it shows Billy was really the one who lead Stu. And I always took Stu as a bit of an idiot really, someone who might have never murdered anyone if he never met Billy, who was doing what he did as ‘revenge’.
I agree, I'm glad the Stu storyline was cut. It's incredibly contrived.
It makes sense for him to build a following of fans in prison. I mean as crazy as it sounds even the Gainesville killer (the original inspiration of Scream 1) was doing it for fame like Bundy. They need to mix it up, it is getting boring doing the cookie cutter 2 person leader & follower. Personally I would like it to be a cult like with 3+ for Scream 6 showing Stu at the end for a tease for 7.
I’ve never been too critical against this film, it’s still a solid 6.5/10 for me. Although the writing is not as strong, it’s Highly entertaining and I love the intro with Cotton. I could have done without the silly house/gas explosion scene + Sid’s ghost Mom appearing but the voice change used by Ghostface was pretty neat. Great review Chris!
Dude you do so many things right but your franchise recaps are top notch!
I actually really likes Scream 3 lol it was funny, clever, witty, scary. I loved the throwback to Woodsborough and the back story of Roman being behind it all.
Ghostface: "Do you like scary movies?"
So I was born in 1998 and my mom never allowed me to watch horror movies, it was around 2009 that I went to a garage sale and saw Scream 3 in cassette. I still had a cassette player so I begged my mom to get it for me and she did. Therefore, my introduction to the Scream franchise was this one, actually it was my first in the horror genre . And I actually liked it, loved it even. But then again I was a kid and knew very little about horror movies. This movie has a spot in my heart as now I love horror movies so very much
Scream 3 has a special place in my heart!
I respect that!
It's the first scream I saw on tv as a kid, that made me interested in the franchise, so I get you😇
Appreciate you doing all these reviews/recaps!!
I don't know how anyone can think Stu coming back would have been a good idea. IF they mentioned him surviving in Scream 2, sure. They didn't, so it would have just been a lazy way to bring back Stu when clearly he died. He was bleeding out AND had his face crushed by a 60lb TV.
The fact that Villans from the Spider-Man multiverse were not in this movie was a real let down
I always found that so funny. It's like "hey look at me, I'm super protected right now with all this technology, but I still live in the middle of nowhere 😅"
I watched the movies out of order and jumped from the original Scream to Scream 3 before seeing part 2. I honestly enjoyed part 3, though I do acknowledge the criticisms others have given. It does take an abrupt change in tone with the Scooby-Doo mysterious energy you get from the Stab characters, but I sincerely loved Parker Posie, I don't care what anyone says. I liked how Sidney's character showed up. I also appreciated the deeper dive into Maureen Prescott's backstory.
Unpopular opinion...i always thought the idea of bringing back Stu was stupid. 😬
I agree, it would have been incredibly contrived to bring Stu back.
You should watch The Following. It's a show starring Kevin Bacon and written by Kevin Williamson. Kevin Williamson used the Stu storyline of the 3rd movies script to make the 1st season. It's pretty good and interesting to see how things would have felt if they didn't trash the original scream 3 script.
I really love how much work you put into your videos just to entertain us and that is why I’m subscribed
The nostalgia hits too hard!
They should end the series with Douie being the one who started all this from the beginning because he could never have Sidney lol
Scream 3 was actually the first of the screams that I saw in theaters. I thought it was ok. Can't wait for Scream to the 5th
i loved scream 3 the voice changer to me was the best part ! UNIQUE
The tone of Scream 3 was different because the real life Columbine massacre had taken place less than a year before the release and extreme media violence was under fire as a cause for people’s behavior.
The producers had to be more mindful of what they created.
This was an amazing cinema experience for me as a child who was still in love with Mickeys pyschotic performance AND then the mansion setting! Super perfect slasher-like ending WOW! The reveal was badass, the mini issue was the character of Roman who wasnt that much of a shock. He was in like 2 scenes or 3 but ma guy Scott ate His performance just like richie, stu and Mickey! Master monologue!
Always wish we got the Kevin Williams version of this film , it haunts me
Well Chris, there was a Alternate Ending to Scream 3, and it was explain by the UA-cam channel of "Beyond the Mask", that the movie, they were gonna watch was another tape by Randy, which explain about what about a happy ending, watch their video, it's explains it more in depth.
I know many hate it, but I actually love Scream 3. Part of it is that it was the one that was aired the most on TV when I was a kid in the early 2000s and I would watch it every single time.
I still love this movie cause it’s the first one I saw as a kid and I would always rewatch the third act cause I loved it sm the party massacre, and Sidney vs Roman the best ghostface fight in the series. Plus so many good sequences like the intro, Sidney on the set of stab 3, and the death sequence of Sarah Darling. It has a lot of pros and I still Enjoy this movie I’ll never argue it’s the “worst” in the franchise but people are so dramatic when saying it’s soooo bad like no it’s not Freddy’s dead, seed of chucky, Halloween resurrection. Plus my girl is just tired of all these killers at this point and Roman is the smartest killer and strongest he did all this by himself and even wore a bullet proof vest (yes ik angelina was supposed to be a killer but never happened). I prefer what we got than having Stu come back cause I don’t like that idea he survived the dude was stabbed like crazy and then a heavy tv smashed on his head
"source"?
@@wisconsinking323 go look it up they were gonna have 2 killers or if u want a channel go watch beyond the mask
That “cult of crazy stab fans being lead by Stu” plot would have worked PERFECTLY for the new movie, and also Jack Quaid looks very similar to Mathew Lillard, they could have even made a connection there. I loved the new movie but hearing about this makes me think that not re using this scrapped plot was wasted potential, oh well, if we’re lucky they’ll probably use it for Scream 6 or 7
You must've been on drugs when u said Jack Quaid looks similar to Matthew Lilliard. They absolutely do NOT resemble eachother at all. Matthew Lilliard looks similar to Andrew McCarthy from friggin Weekend at Bernies and Pretty in Pink and Jack Quaid has a resemblance to Randy Quaid aka cousin Eddy from the vacation movies. They might be related in some way.
I always believed Roman killed cotten weary because he flashed around with Maureen
idk why but i just like the “hello sidney’s” intro lol
As a wannabe filmmaker myself I know how it feels to be told that you're script has been changed. The guy I was working with had no idea what he wanted the movie to be.
fun fact that you missed about the jay and silent bob cameo. courtney and wes craven ALSO cameo in jay and silent bob strike back. i’m pretty sure i read that it was kind of a collab thing
I love Matthew Lillard and Scream was incredible but anything involving old killers and children of past killers is just lazy
Your humor gets me up in the morning, dude
Thank you!
@@3CFilms no no no. Thank you, Chris 💯💯 never stop what you do
5cream (Scream 5): It's always someone you know.
Scr3am (Scream 3): No, it's not.
Shows how forgettable whiny Roman was
😒 All OF You Pepole So Stupid, Scream 3 is Way Better, Roman was A Great Ghostface Killer.
I remember how we were just hearing the character descriptions, and here we are a few days away from da 5 cream
This being my entry point into the franchise makes me love it a bit more than it deserves however I do still recognize it as the worst of the franchise...I still have the most fun with this one, sumn about the line readings that just makes a lot of the lines funny as hell to me, it almost helps if you just view this one as a dark comedy
11:38 I've always wondered why they've never showed a flashback of Maureen being killed at any point in the series.
I always forget who the killer is for scream 3.
Dam the original script for the third film sounds like it would have been way better. It’s actually great it would have been a modern cult . That sounds scarier than just one ghost face
I think ghostface is luring sidney back home as we know that ghostface is always connected to sid And ghostface probably figured that when people start dying sidney will be there along with gale And so ghostface will lure her to stus house to finish sid off. And my theory is that Maybe stu is still alive
The "Sarah Darling" inside joke was actually about Sara Michelle Gellar from Scream 2 and how she frequently butted heads with Wes Craven - allegedly lol and he often called her "darling"
Anyone interested in seeing the original story for Scream 3 should watch the TV show, The Following. It was written by Kevin Williamson, based on his idea for Scream 3. It's not Ghostface and Sydney, but it's good television nonetheless.
Controversial opinion but I like this one more than 4 I’ve always enjoyed this one yes the characters are nowhere near the best but the opening scene and the 3rd act are incredible. I could give the film a 6.5 out of 10
That intro 😂😂😂 and love your videos
Thanks For The Support!
The problems with Scream 3 are that it's a bad comedy instead of a horror film with comedic elements with the only serious things in it being the events of the previous 2 films having driven Sidney into hiding and the story of Maureen Prescott's rape which unfortunately is only there to justify the existence of retcon Roman and him being the killer. He takes away from Billy and Stu because instead of coming up with the plan to kill Maureen, frame Cotton and use Stu as an accomplice to pin it all on Billy apparently only did it because a stranger like Roman told him to. Some of the kills in this are uncreative just being back stabs and Tom in the exploding house was stupid. The multiple voices on the changer was dumb and the reveal of Roman wasn't effective because Sidney had never met him and was just confused rather than shocked like she was by Billy, Stu, Mickey and Mrs Loomis people she knew being killers.
Tickets booked to see 5CREAM on Friday!! Cant wait
I love the original trilogy. I really dont like 4. I've heard theres supposed to be a link between 1 and 4 in scream 2022.
Jay and silent bob strike back had a scene where they interrupted the shooting for ghost face trying to stop their movie from being made, so it was just a cool Easter egg of the movies crossing paths in their own universes but adding to the story that “it really happened”
.i was a SUPER FANNNN, i snuck into the theater just to see this when i was 11 & even with my standards back then i left feeling disappointed & empty
Oh man I’m sorry! Lol
The backstory for sydney's mother seems similar to the part of the sons of sam documentary with the actress and the movie director that was eventually found dead in los angeles.
16:39 It's dumb that Roman's basically saying he wanted to spend his life being chased by psychos either taking grudges against his mother out on him or wanting to become famous and seeing killing him as a way to do that. Sidney would rather Maureen have been alive and be a normal unknown woman than have "fame" from her ex boyfriend and his best friend killing her mother and being targeted by lunatics for the rest of her life.
He never said that. He only said that he wanted to be Maureen Prescotts child. Your forgetting that the only reason Maureen is dead is because of Roman himself. He convinced Billy to kill her with the help of an accomplice (Stu). And that’s only because Maureen shut him out and claimed Sidney as her only child. If she didn’t do that Roman would’ve never plotted on killing Maureen. So none of this would’ve actually happened had Maureen accepted Roman. Everything that happened is because of him so he’s not saying that he wanted to spend his life hunted by psychos, as they would never hunt him in the first place.
I have my tickets for Thursday can't wait
I don't about Stu coming back. How was he supposed to break out of jail without the main characters knowing? I think the brother thing was a bit of an homage to "Halloween II" (1981); if that's the case, even funnier since Laurie Strode doesn't get a lot of screen time in that, either.
That was part of the twist, he was in jail the whole time and leads the cult from there
"Dewey, he's got our voices"
HOW???
That's something about the voice changer that makes no sense because even James and Chelsea from Dead Meat has talked about how that technology didn't exist in 2000
It doesn't exist today
both you and joblo horror originals uploaded a video on scream 3 almost at the exact same time, must be a pretty interesting movie
I gotta say, scream 3 is my favorite scream. I think it does meta so good here, it’s funny and scary, and I don’t think Roman is the best character, but I love his motive so much. It’s a great twist in my eyes. And the commentary on Hollywood’s treatment of women it done so well and was ahead of it’s time in terms of commentary in horror film.
I really like watching these movie reviews for old movies since I really don’t have time to watch movies.
Bought my tickets last week for the 7pm showing on Thursday. I am HYPED
You’re right that Roman sounded like a child. He should’ve told Sidney that he grew up in the system going from foster home to foster home while she had her “perfect life”
Incidentally in 2010 when I heard Matthew Lillard say he was originally going to be the killer in Scream 3 from prison, I had an idea that used that but also had a cult of Ghostfaces. It’s funny because just right now I’m hearing that’s what Kevin Williamson had in mind. Great minds I suppose.
13:58 Dewey got that character plot armor, he won’t die
Me watching these reviews to prepare for 5cream instead of watching the actual movies: 👁👄👁
Waiting on my Fivecream shirt to come in for Friday
0:27
thank you! finally somebody remembers that line from Scooby Doo, hell of a job on the editing! "Are you challenging me?" had me on the floor 😅 #3CFilms
I’m my opinion. Scream 3 it’s so underrated. Great opening. And great ending. To me the 4th didn’t make any sense to me, and would made more sense bring Stu back if anything.
Why would Stu make any sense lol? He literally isn't mentioned in sequels and if a new killer did spring, wouldn't you think he'd be the number 1 suspect if he had survived
That knife throwing scene is one of my favorites in the franchise
Hearing the idea for sceam 3 makes me really want to have seen that movie instead of the one we got would have been cool to see a more serious stu
I liked scream 3 better than scream 2. I like that it came full circle
Chris my dude, I’m kinda surprised you haven’t been covering the new season of dexter.
They should still bring back Matthew llilard!
If he doesn't return as Ghostface in Scream 5 I will LITERALLY walk out of the theater. I'm kinda hoping those theories about one of the new characters being his son or nephew are true (avenge his death by going after everyone, especially the legacy characters).
Hilarious intro with Shaggy.
I cannot wait for 5cream.
Scream 3 was the equivalent to Jurassic Park 3. It was a good movie, but the formula was so different then the first 2, audiences bashed it. I love them both though. Scream 4 was all kinds of mess!
Nah, id argue it was the worst for sure. It doesn't even try to do something new. The killer reveal is cliche and has you asking who Roman was because he was barely in the film. It feels way too rushed and tries to hard to be the ultimate Scream movie, but ends up becoming the joke of trilogy finales it was trying to make fun of
I don't even think I'll be able to go see 5cream on opening weekend because of Covid. But hopefully I will the following week
I love this franchise more than most, I think Scream is perfect, but the original idea for Scream 3 makes me shriek. I'm really glad that did Not happen. Stu and Billy are some of my fave characters but they are dead; let them rest. That said, I really liked 3. I like Roman Bridger. Im happy with what we got, completely.
