Directed by Wes Craven. Written by Ehren Kruger. Starring Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Liev Schreiber, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, Lance Henriksen, Jamie Kennedy, Carrie Fisher, Heather Matarazzo, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer, Parker Posey, Deon Richmond and Patrick Warburton.
Plot: another killer terrorizes Sidney and her friends on the set of Stab 3.
For some reason, Sidney (Campbell) is living out in the middle of nowhere, pretending to be Laura. Personally, we would be in the center of a major city with lots of neighbors and lots of dogs, a lot like we live right now actually. LOL. But instead of that, PTSD bound Sidney, spends her days alone. That is until she finds out that Cotton Weary (Schreiber) has been killed in gruesome fashion. Then, she comes to the movie set of Stab 3, reuniting with Dewey (Arquette) and Gale (Cox) and making new friends who are sure to die.
This movie is about on par with the second for me. There’s just too much of the ridiculous about it for it to be a great movie. But still too entertaining for it to suck completely. But why do they split up so much? The killer/s doesn’t attack people when they’re together. The fight scenes are also hilarious. Sidney shouldn’t be able to take some of those hits as easily as she does. We didn’t really like the twist when you find out who is behind it, but the acting is good, the dialogue is funny and the movie was well-made.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I met George Romero. He was the kindest and sweetest man. He talked to me for longer than he should have with the line getting longer. He also held my hand. And when he noticed the ladybug I have tattooed on my wrist, he said he liked it and asked me it's name. Till then, it had not had a name. Now, I call him George.
2. I love stickers. All stickers. I just adore them. I even ask for stickers for Christmas! As a matter of fact, the birthday that just past, every member of my immediate family gave me sticker packs as gifts. Affordable and extremely appreciated.
3. I have never put much stock in astrology or horoscopes, but I LOVE the magic of the MBTI. Omg. I am an INFP and it actually sounds just like me. Introverted mostly. Creative always. Heart before head and not the most logical. Totally me! For better or worse.
4. It's no surprise I count horror so high up on the list of things that make me, me. However, it's so within my soul that I was part of the Horror Club in college. Interesting bunch. And even took a Horror Lit class as an elective. I got an A.
5. Coffee always makes me happy. Always. I'm particularly fond of caramel macchiatos. But I'll drink black coffee if it's the only thing available.
6. I hate shock for the sake of shock and endings that depress me. I always mention the movies Within (2016) and the Eli Roth produced, written and starred in, Aftershock (2012), as proof of this distate I have. I abhor the idea that just because I like horror, some people think I'd actually praise a movie that lets you think the "Final Girl" just made it through the night, only to slap her in the face with a tsunami.
7. We are big time animal people. I mean, if I could, I'd have an elephant, a bear, a zebra, a penguin, an otter and a meerkat, living with me. Seriously though. We have 2 dogs right now and 2 cats. Both cats we picked up when they each came to our front door hungry. And both dogs we got from 2 different sets of neighbors. Both who, unfortunately, don't know how to care for pets long-term. But they're happy and healthy now!!
8. Revisiting my love of horror, one of the above cats, my cat, is a little black guy named Church. Because Pet Sematary. His middle name is even Pascow. To give credit where credit's due, the name was DJ's idea. But he loves horror too!
9. I'm big into art. Along with movie posters and an Anne Frank quote, I have some actual paintings on my wall. I really think Dali paints beautifully when he wants to. And if I don't get to see Michaelangelo's Pieta in person some day, I will be very disappointed.
10. Lastly, I find Emily Dickinson's poetry intriguing. I took an elective course about her as well. But do you know I injected horror even there? I was given a poem to dissect and I picked one on death, of course. Then, I researched old "Death Photos" and even printed out copies for everyone in the class. They were so interested in looking at them that it stopped them from all looking at me, and I was able to deal quite well with my stage fright. Haha
