scream!!!

i watched scream 3 on vcd last night. aaargh! really stupifying. i can't help but SCREAM at the characters for being overly idiotic. to think after 2 brushes with death, sidney would be a little more cautious and defensive. especially gale in the scene where she and the killer fell down the basement stairs. instinct should have told her to unmask the killer since he was obviously out cold. but nooo! she opted to use her cellphone to call dewey who was UPSTAIRS. ok, forget the unmasking, it might be too unnerving considering the situation. she should have just stepped over the killer and ran upstairs to the safety of dewey's presence. that was a lot easier and relieving than be in an isolated room with a psycho killer. who writes these stuff anyway? and here we are dear film enthusiasts more irritated than entertained. hmmm... i grew up spooked by the shake, rattle and roll series and THAT was more amusing. they made like what, 6 parts of that? i was terrified by each. the undin episode just stuck to everyone's imagination. i guess the problem with sequels is that the plot tend to be more predictable than the original. THE ring series. now, that's an excellent trilogy. THE hannibal, silence of the lambs and red dragon triparts. that's an excellent trilogy. producers should be making more of these goose-bump inducing movies than yawn-and-snicker inducing ones. agree?
