Editorial Review

When Randy the video geek rattles off the rules of surviving a horror movie in Wes Craven's Scream, he speaks for a generation of filmgoers who are all too aware of slasher-movie clichés. Playfully scripted by Kevin Williamson with a self-aware wink and more than a few nods to its grandfathers (from Psycho to Halloween to the Friday the 13th dynasty), Scream skewers teen horror conventions with loving reverence while re-creating them in a modern, movie-savvy context. And so goes the series, which continues the satirical spoofing by tackling (what else?) sequels while sustaining its own self-contained mythology. Catty reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) turns grisly murders into lurid best-sellers, a cult of killer wannabes continues to hunt spunky psycho-survivor Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) for their 15 minutes of fame, and a cheesy movie series (Stab) develops within the movie series.

Scream remains the high point of the series--a fresh take on a genre long since collapsed into routine, but Scream 2 spoofs itself wittily ("Why would anyone want to do that? Sequels suck!" opines college film student Randy), and delights with more elaborate set-pieces and all-new rules for surviving a horror movie sequel. The endangered veterans of the original film reunite one last time for Scream 3, which plays out on the movie set of Stab 3 (it's a trilogy within a trilogy!). With Williamson gone, replacement screenwriter Ehran Kruger tries to mine the formula one more time. It's a little tired by now, and pale imitations (Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer) have further drained the zeitgeist, but the film bubbles with bright humour and director Craven is stylistically at the top of his game. As a trilogy, it remains both the most consistently entertaining and self-aware horror series ever made. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Rating: - Excellent!

While the original movie was an all time classic,the following two sequels are pretty decent stuff.All DVD's have fantastic extras.The first film is scary,riveting and bound to have you on the edge of your seat.The 2nd is very entertaining and the third is better than the second,with a great twist in the end.

Rating: - Screams Great!

Scream triology is by far my favourite movies. i never get bored of watching them, even though i know whats going to happen now.
I like them all but the 1st one is the best, i also love the third as it makes sydney go back to the start and find out why this all happened. its a terrific movie! 5 stars

Scream 4 is being made now and will be out summer 2010!!

Rating: - 5 STARS FOR 3 SCREAMS!!!

This again is horror at it's very best more so the first Scream which is in my favorite top 5 films of all time. The first Scream was co clever but very simple really but I am being honest I never see the twist coming. The other two are very watchable but this box set earns five stars on the first film alone. I have heard a rumour there is a number four very soon let's hope it is as good as the first three.

Rating: - 3 5 star films

The Scream films are great. All of them are funny, gorey, creepy and surprisingly believable. Fantastic films at excellent value for money.

Rating: - great horror fun

The Scream trilogy brought fresh new blood (in copious amounts) to the horror film genre. Mixing humor, pop culture, and horror, the original Scream laid the foundation for a series that carried a lot of energy through two sequels. Scream 2 was something of a step backwards from the first movie, but Scream 3 marked a turn back in the right direction. Fortunately, Wes Craven knew when to stop, as Scream 3 evidenced some decline in the novelty of the concept, leaving us with three movies we can appreciate over and over again throughout the coming years. The only problem I have with Scream 3 is the fact that it looked and sounded like a movie, whereas the original had enough of a hold on reality to make the experience seem like something at least remotely plausible in the everyday world
