Sadly, it's almost over. But at least Wes Craven and
his crew saved the best for last.
Of course we mean "Scream 3" (Miramax), the final
chapter in the series of films that set out to
reverently spoof teen-slasher flicks.
This time around, perpetual victim Sidney
Prescott (Neve Campbell) has graduated from college
and moved to Hollywood, where she's working on "Stab
3," the movie within "Scream 3," based on her life.
But just when Sidney thinks she's safe, members of
the "Stab" crew become victims of yet another
crazed killer looking to imitate the real-life
murders that Sidney and some of her pals--namely
Deputy Dewey (David Arquette) and reporter Gale
Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette)--have survived.
But wait! Is it an impostor or a returning psycho
who wasn't really killed after all? That's the real
question that sets up a series of twists, the
series' trademark humor, a couple of great cameos
(Jay and Silent Bob?!?!) and, in the end, a
deliciously surprising turn that ties everything
up very nicely.
Well, as nice as a story about a knife-wielding
freak can be.
