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.

A mainly by the numbers affair, enjoyable enough while it lasts, but instantly forgettable. Go to Full Review

At 116 minutes, this third installment lumbers along like a serial killer in shackles. Go to Full Review

Scream 3 feels very much like the stretch run towards the finish line. Go to Full Review
Josh Winning Radio Times Oct 30
3/5
Scream 3 often feels like a spectre of slasher-movies past, but it features an engagingly prescient mystery about the dark side of Hollywood, and builds to an enjoyably tense climax in director Wes Craven's version of a haunted mansion. Go to Full Review
Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 11
2/5
Wes Craven seems to have lost the thread of what makes these movies so entertaining, merely hoping fans would appreciate getting another romp with beloved characters. Go to Full Review

SCREAM 3’s flirtation with genuine subversion makes it one of the most interesting — and most frustrating — entries in the series. Considering the circumstances that influenced its production, it’s remarkable that it works at all. Go to Full Review

Aaron S. @remedyfever 3d Although wasn’t scary I did enjoy the plot twist to the story. See more Ennard F 6d Very boring, very tedious, and with a very forced ending. See more Eli F. @MarvelNerd Nov 22 Practically being the same as the previous film with reveals, this movie falls a bit flat out of the gate. But its action scenes and twist make the movie fine. I would recommend checking it out when you have time to watch a fun movie on a snowy day! See more Shades Y Nov 19 This movie is beautifully a piece of art if you hate on this let’s see if you can do better. This movie is easily 11/10 you can not hate on Roman once so ever See more Pedro Henrique C Nov 16 Scream 3 (2000) – this is where the franchise started to go downhill. I think they should give space to new characters in the story and not just focus on the old ones. See more Chaos A. @Chaosfn Nov 13 🏆60% I shockingly liked this more than the second film. It’s very unserious at times, but at least I wasn’t bored the entire time. This was actually somewhat entertaining, even with how goofy some scenes were. The movie has a strong beginning and ending, the only issue is the middle part. But overall, I did enjoy this more than the second, but still nowhere near the level of the first.
