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.

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.

Not as good as the first two, but it's way too overhated in my opinion. At first, I hated this film, but after a rewatch, it was really good!

While this was the last movie that gives our main protaganists one last stand right before making their return in the future, Scream 3 is definitely the weakest movie in the trilogy. Sometimes the movie feels like it's going nowhere when every character are trying to deal with another ghostface situation, especially when the writing feels like it's been downgraded. Plus, there were some plot-holes that don't make sense, especially knowing all the specific details we've seen from the last two movies. But to give it some credit, the direction, casting, and tone is still there. Only see it one or two times.
