Scream 3 (2000) KILL COUNT - Summary

Summary

The video is a review and analysis of the 2000 horror movie Scream 3, specifically focusing on the "kill count" - the number of deaths in the movie. The reviewer, James A. Janisse, discusses the movie's plot, characters, and kills, pointing out various flaws and inconsistencies. He criticizes the tone, which he feels has shifted away from horror and into comedy, and pokes fun at some of the movie's more ridiculous moments.

The review includes a detailed breakdown of each kill in the movie, including the methods used and the victims. Janisse also discusses the movie's conclusion, in which the killer is revealed to be Roman, Sydney's half-brother, who is seeking revenge for his mother's death.

Janisse awards the "Golden Chainsaw" to Tyson for his death scene, which features a memorable backflip, and the "Dull Machete" to Tom Prince for his convoluted and unbelievable death scene.

Overall, Janisse considers Scream 3 to be the weakest link in the Scream franchise, citing its poor tone, ridiculous plot twists, and lackluster kills.
