Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

All the three episodes of the series have their own message: 1) the first episode considers the banality of relationship lived as a splatter where the youth trivially approach serious events; 2) the second episode considers the stupidity of viewers in confront of criminal murderers they live as personal exaltation manipulated by marketing system ("so that the viewers are the real white mask") able to sell violence as a product without considering the consequences of that product in the weakness minds; 3) the third episode (this one) describes the real face of Hollywood under the white mask where actors sell themselves to get a part and often they are alienated by the false dive image in order to be manipulated by directors and/or producers so to get sexual intercourse and orgies which generates aftermaths in the attitude of their sexual "toys": the first consequence is the degradation of person into material object selfishly owned. Wes Craven was able to mask its climax message with an horror series well made avoiding any exaggerations, including a bit of smart humor during the calm phases of his movies. So the series is an accusation against the consumerism system promoted by Hollywood which considers the viewers as useful idiots from which to take easy money by emotional suggestions injected using both the motion pictures and the sound environment ("pay to get ephemeral emotions as the addict pays to get doses of drug").

After the success of Scream 2, becoming second as the biggest budget slasher film of all time, there was no doubt Scream 3 would happen and three years later, two here in Ireland, it did and was it a big success..no. Writer of the first two films, Kevin Williamson was unable to return due to other works and was replaced with a pretty lousy writer, Ehren Kruger, or something. There were things I liked about Scream 3 and some things I did not like, the acting in the film is honestly not the best but Neve Campbell does do her best and succeeds in it, all of the other actors and actresses are very meh, even Cox and Arquette were bland enough in this. The characters in the film were also pretty blunt being very paper thin, Parker Posey also appears in this film as one of the most annoying characters of all time, I was literally just waiting for her throat to be slashed in a very happy way..sorry, I sound so messed up. Overall, Scream 3, I personally did enjoy but it was no wear near as good as the first two.

In this, the final chapter in the critically acclaimed "Scream" franchise, all bets are off when a new killer begins terrorizing Sidney Prescott, and the cast and crew of "Stab 3", the third film based on the murders that rocked the small town of Woodsboro. But does this finale have plenty of what made the previous films mysterious, funny and engaging?Unfortunately, no. Despite Wes Craven's best efforts to conclude the series while it still had its dignity, this third chapter lacks the stakes and wit of the original, or the self-aware humour of the second, and decides to replace it with a stale, heartless product. The story, which I won't spoil here, has a promising first act, but it soon forgets what story it was telling and goes completely off the rails. Neve Campell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox still do an admirable job in their respective roles, however, so that's something.Final Words:Overall, "Scream 3" constantly falls victim to the tropes the series used to so famously subvert and fails to deliver anything new to a franchise that should have been laid to rest after its stellar second installment. Only watch if you feel the need to finish the franchise, but otherwise, avoid entirely.6/10

Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson return for the third installment of the slasher horror that pleased critics and horror fans all around the country in the 90s, only this time, lot less fun or exciting than the previous two. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott who now works as a crisis counselor and is living isolated deep in the woodsy area of California, traumatized by the violent Woodsboro murders from the first two movies. Back in her hometown, Hollywood director Roman Bridger (played by Scott Foley) is working on slasher horror titled 'Stab 3' based on the Woodsboro murders. The production quickly goes awry when Ghostface makes his return and begins murdering the cast one-by-one. Sidney teams up with Gale (played by Courtney Cox) and Dewey Riley (played by David Arquette) to stop Ghostface's murderous onslaught once and for all.As this is the third installment of the series, there is lots of discussion about movie trilogies, and basically what the characters claim is that the third installment in a film series is about going back to the past and learning a shocking truth of what happened in the first film. We are also introduced to a set of new characters, most of which are very one-dimensional other than Parker Posey and Scott Foley's character. Compared to the previous two films, this one marks a low point for the series. The plot is much less clever and less original, and is completely devoid of scares or good humor. While the plot centers on the characters trying to solve the murders of the cast of the (fictional)movie 'Stab 3', the film throws a huge, needless sub plot of detectives trying to solve of Sidney's mother who was murdered which is made the plot so uneven. To make matters worse, Sidney has reduced screen time and appears in no more than half of the scenes, while the film focuses on Gale, Dewey, and these other new characters. The only thing redeeming about this film is the big twist at the end. Other than that, this film lacks the spirit and scares of the previous movies.Scream 3 is definitely my least favorite of the series and one of the most disappointing third installments I have seen. Unless you are a huge fan of the series, this one is probably worth staying away from.
