The Scream

Scream 2 (Dimension Collector's Series)
$14.99
I'm baffled by the mixed reception of this film. Despite what this site might make you believe, people are actually pretty divided about this sequel. Personally, I think it's almost as good as the first film. Not quite as good, but still a damn good film even after ten years. Again, this is what teens should be watching, not the numerous crappy slasher remakes like Prom Night (How in the hell are teens raving about such a God-awful film?). When it comes to horror sequels, this is one of the few exceptions that doesn't suck. Like the first film, this is definitely a great late-night horror film to watch.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The film oddly starts off at a theater where the debut of the film Stab (Based on the events of the first film) when a college couple goes to see it. Everyone seems to having a good time watching the film and many have dressed up like the killer in this first film. But then the couple is stabbed to death in theater. Then we are once again introduced to Sidney Prescott who seems to have moved on from the events of the first film. She has a new boyfriend, some old and new friends, and everything is going great for the most part, and even manage to shake off what happened at the theater and don't think much of it, until a sorority girl is murdered by the killer from the theater and then attempts to kill Sidney. From then on, Sidney, her friends, once again Gale Weathers, and the released Cotton Weary (Who Sidney in the first film believed he had killed her mother but he had not) are all pulled into a plot to kill Sidney once again and face even more danger. Like the first film, this will leave you guessing all the way through to the end. Once again, Kevin Williamson has crafted a superb plot like he did in the first film.
MUSIC: Once again Marco Beltrami does a great job with the music in this film. It's never boring and it does set the mood quite well.
ACTION: Like the first film, this one was pretty much almost never boring. Unfortunately, this one isn't quite as gory as the first film. That's not to say that this film isn't violent though. This film still has plenty of offer in terms of slasher violence and is still a slasher fan's delight.
ACTING: This time, none of the actors suck and they're all pretty good and perform their roles quite well. Once again, Neve Campbell delivers a fantastic performance, as well as returning actors David Arquette, Courtney Cox, and Jamie Kennedy. There's no slouches when it comes to the actors this time.
HUMOR: This film isn't quite as humorous as the first unfortunately. It still manages to make you laugh in certain parts, but it's missing the charm of the first film in terms of humor. This area is still good, but not as strong as the first film's.
OVERALL: If you love slashers, then you must buy this film along with the first and if you're a teenager you should be watching these films instead of garbage like Prom Night. A slasher's delight and great late-night horror film, Scream 2 is a definite must-have along with the first.
THE GOOD: Great acting, a good deal of slashing, great music, and a good sense of humor.
THE BAD: Gore and humor lack in this film compared to its predecessor.

Scream 3 (Dimension Collector's Series)
$14.99
Unfortunately, critics didn't particularly like this film, and people are divided about this third film. While I will admit that it falls below the standards set by the previous films, this is still a very good slasher that puts on a good show, and like its predecessors still serves as a great late-night horror film.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The film starts off with Cotton Weary (The man Sidney accused of murdering her mother in the first film) who is now a millionaire who has his own television show, and then he and his girlfriend are murdered in their lavish home by another copycat killer. Then we are once again introduced to Sidney Prescott who has tried to move on from the events of the first two films and now lives in a secluded place and runs a telephone women's helpline. However, her life as well as the lives of Gale Weathers and Dewy are turned upside down once again when actors on the set of the film Stab 3 start getting killed by the copycat killer and the other actors on the set are also dragged into a grand plot to killing Sidney. Unfortunately, Kevin Williamson didn't write the script for this film, and it doesn't leave you guessing as much as the first two. It's simply an okay plot.
MUSIC: Marco Beltrami is no slouch once again and the music in this film is pretty good and is never boring.
ACTION: This film isn't as action-packed as the first two and the gore has been downgraded which is disappointing. This film is still pretty action-packed though and was rarely ever boring, but there were some boring moments which dragged the film down. But, for the most part this area is pretty good like it should be.
ACTING: Returning actors Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette deliver great performances once again as they did in the previous films, but the other actors aren't so notable. The other actors are a mixed bag; some are good while others are just plain awful. Overall, this area is half and half.
HUMOR: This film has a bit more humor than the second film which is a plus. But it doesn't have the humor flare of the first film. But still, this film can be pretty funny and there is a good deal of witty dialogue.
OVERALL: Despite the areas this film lacks in, it's still a great film to watch. While people are mixed on it, it sure beats the hell out of watching crap like Prom Night. This is a solid third entry that is well-made and still pretty entertaining, and once again is a great late-night horror flick. I can't wait for the upcoming Scream 4!
THE GOOD: Great music, pretty action-packed, a good sense of humor, and a good portion of the actors are good.
THE BAD: Underwhelming plot, not as much action, not all actors are great, and some boring moments.
