In the final installment to this trilogy, a murder spree begins to happen again; this time targeted toward the original Woodsboro survivors and those associated with the movie-inside-a-movie, Stab 3. Sydney must face the demons of her past to stop the killer(s).

Critics Consensus

Despite some surprising twists, Scream 3 sees the franchise falling back on the same old horror formulas and cliches it once hacked and slashed with postmodern abandon.

2.5/5

A mainly by the numbers affair, enjoyable enough while it lasts, but instantly forgettable.

At 116 minutes, this third installment lumbers along like a serial killer in shackles.

Scream 3 feels very much like the stretch run towards the finish line.

3/5

Scream 3 often feels like a spectre of slasher-movies past, but it features an engagingly prescient mystery about the dark side of Hollywood, and builds to an enjoyably tense climax in director Wes Craven's version of a haunted mansion.

2/5

Wes Craven seems to have lost the thread of what makes these movies so entertaining, merely hoping fans would appreciate getting another romp with beloved characters.

B-

SCREAM 3’s flirtation with genuine subversion makes it one of the most interesting — and most frustrating — entries in the series. Considering the circumstances that influenced its production, it’s remarkable that it works at all.

Enjoyable, but the weakest of the trilogy. It introduces a lighter, campier tone, weaker suspense, and one-dimensional characters.

Not a bad Scream movie. The third Scream definitely has its parts

Younger me would be appalled that I'm rating this fairly high. I used to dislike this movie for the longest time, and I only recently found myself having pure enjoyment watching this movie. It's still one of the "worst" of the franchise, but that really says a lot about a franchise in general. I still think this movie is stupid and makes no sense in some parts, but sometimes, I need to let that go and just enjoy a movie.
