Description: While Sidney (Neve Campbell) and her friends visit the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the third film based on the Woodsboro murders, another Ghostface killer rises to terrorize them.
Review: After the success of “Scream” and the sequel “Scream 2” Kevin Williamson was one of the most requested scriptwriters. He was so busy, he couldn’t be there for the third installment and Ehren Kruger replaced him.
The third movie is set in Hollywood, where they are shooting “Stab 3”, based on the Woodsboro murders. Sidney, the woman that lived this nightmare, leads a quiet life in the middle of nowhere. That life is brutally disturbed when people are murdered on the set of the movie in making. At the scene of every crime, a picture of Sidney’s mother is left behind.
“Scream 3” isn’t different from the first two films, but it’s less entertaining. I think the tricks don’t work that well anymore. The script isn’t inventive or surprising and the new characters add nothing extra. Even Neve Campbell doesn’t sparkle like she did before.
Even though the movie cannot live up to the first, “Scream 3” does have some good moments. The self-mockery is present again and there are some fun cameos.
“Scream 3” was clearly made to earn some more money, without giving the audience a good quality horror flick. And the climax is so far-fetched, that even the most creative minds wouldn’t come up with it.
“Scream 3” is entertaining, but it can never live up to “Scream” or “Scream 2”.
Rating: 2/ 5
