What to Know

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.

Sezín Koehler Bitch Media Actually a scathing indictment of how women are treated behind-the-scenes in Hollywood. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News 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. Rated: 3/4 Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine [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. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Entertaining and an easy watch, Scream 3 promises to be more than expected. Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Tony Black Cultural Conversation An underrated, post-modern deconstruction. Rated: 4/5 Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Parker Posey (and a fitting "end" for Sidney Prescott) saves this film. Rated: 3/5 Jan 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Bradley G Scream 3 is a very tired sequel as it loses that rhythm as it reverts back from the trilogy's which gives the cliches that shows its orchestrated. It offers a different tone of narrative killing's and voice disguises which was the new trait for the solo reveal as for me I felt it didn't work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Carlos L Pânico 3 pode ser inferior aos seus dois anteriores,mas de forma alguma é um péssimo filme,crítica sobre Hollywood e cenas divertidas estão presentes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Michael J Big downgrade from the sequel and original. Killer reveal was very anticlimactic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Matthew R I think I like this better than Scream 2. Ending has a solid plot twist that is enjoyable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Lucas t Used to be my favourite, still good tho. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Kyle C It’s better than the reviews give it credit for. Not the best in the franchise but definitely not a bad movie by any stretch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
