Deputy Dewey (David Arquette) happens to be working on the set at the time as a script advisor, and immediately falls out with the detective in charge Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey). Then to compound matters further they're then joined by nosey journalist Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) who's sniffing round after another story. Of course it's Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) that the killer is really after, but what is the killers interest in her this time round, and why does he keep sending her pictures of her late mother, Maureen, every time he commits a murder? After leaving her secluded cabin in the mountains and joining Dewey, Gale and the Stab 3 cast on the movie set, the hunt for the killer is on. But as the bodies pile up and more pictures of Sidney's mother start appearing, it looks like the killer might have personal grudges against both the film and young Sidney. The fact that the cast are being murdered in script order does nothing to help them when they discover that there are apparently 3 different scripts in circulation, to keep the ending a secret. So who could be next is anybody's guess. Lance Henriksen also stars in the film, playing the movie producer and Jamie Kennedy makes a guest appearance as horror nerd Randy Meeks (probably to appease the disgruntled fans who were annoyed at what happened to him in part 2) and look out for Carrie Fisher who makes a surprise appearance near the end. Directed again by Wes Craven, but written this time by Ehren Kruger (cool name that) the film packs more of the ghoulish thrills and chills that fans of the series will love, as ghost face jumps out and carves his way through virtually the whole cast. Overall I really dug this film, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. My only complaint would be that there's too much of Dewey and Gale goofing about, and not enough of the ever lovely Neve Campbell, but overall this is a really cool slasher pic. Overall Marks : 8/10. |
