Entertaining and an easy watch, Scream 3 promises to be more than expected.

Full Review | Dec 17, 2021

Actually a scathing indictment of how women are treated behind-the-scenes in Hollywood.

Full Review | Mar 5, 2021

An underrated, post-modern deconstruction.

Parker Posey (and a fitting "end" for Sidney Prescott) saves this film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 12, 2021

The bloody violence is back, the foolishly contrived chase and murder sequences return, stereotypical characters are included, and the dialogue is just as dippy as ever.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 9, 2020

The series is already so dense with internal references and exposition that it's on the verge of becoming more of a trivia game than a movie series. Still, for the initiated, the third time's a charm. For everyone else, it's just a scream.

Dimension Films is again asking reviewers not to reveal the plot twists in Scream 3... But the screenplay telegraphs the ending long before it arrives.

Full Review | Jun 26, 2019

The Scream franchise falters with this unconvincing wrap-up to the original trilogy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2019

[The cast] is good. And so are director Wes Craven's inventive stagings of these set-tos. Not so good is the absence of hip cross-references to the classic horror tropes.

While there's still plenty of gore, the emphasis on knowing, self-referential gags makes for a better movie.

Full Review | Jun 25, 2019

Scream 3 may well be the best of the bunch. It's got scenes that will make you jump, characters that you'll care something about, and so much of a self-referential content that it folds in on itself again and again and again, like an origami figure.

The final chapter in the Scream franchise ends on a highly entertaining and hilarious note.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2019

Virtually none of the craftsmanship of Craven's best is on display here, and what good ideas do turn up are largely recycled from previous efforts. This Scream has been widely marketed as the series' final installment. Better late than never.

There are a couple classic Scream kills, splashes of blood, a depraved new addition to the Maureen Prescott story, and Roger Corman shows up for a cameo.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2019

Scream 3 is a fine ending to the trilogy. The teen horror franchise that ate itself.

Full Review | Sep 7, 2011

Tthe movie belabors the idea that it's the last of a trilogy rather than the third in a series.

Full Review | Sep 7, 2011

Merely adheres to the very convoluted whodunit formula that it outwardly addresses via a from-the-grave video recording by Jamie Kennedy's genre know-it-all.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | May 20, 2011

The self-referential setup is in place, but not the ingenuity or wit to take advantage of it.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 13, 2011

...a rather anticlimactic finish to a series that started out with such promise...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 4, 2011

An embarrassing carbon copy of its previous films...
