Review of Scream 3 (2000) by Rcavey92212 — 11 May 2020

It's hard when the two previous films in your franchise were literally horror masterpieces but than on top of it all to wrap up a trilogy is unthinkable. There was no way this wasn't going to be a tad disappointing.

That being said this is a very fun movie and truly does a wonderful job of ending Sidney's story. This time around Sidney is living in seclusion and the murders start up again in Hollywood while they're making Stab 3 the first fictional sequel in the film within a film franchise.

So both the original characters and the actors starring in the new film are targeted. What's great. Our core people are back and they are in top form. I love Neve Campbell's performance in this one because she is just done with it.

Courtney Cox and David Arquette have wonderful chemistry as usual. As for the newbies Jenny McCarthy is fun, genre favorite Lance Henriken is awesome, Scott Foley is great and Carrie Fisher has one of the best cameos ever.

But the real scene stealer is the amazing Parker Posey and when she's teamed up with Cox its incredible. Also the movies twist is one that wraps up the trilogy nicely. Now for the good. Its evident that Kevin Williamson didn't write the screenplay, he only wrote the treatment.

It's not a bad screenplay it's actually good but focuses more on the comedy and feels different than the other films. All in all it's still a very hood film and just overly entertaining.
