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.

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

Scream 3 feels very much like the stretch run towards the finish line.

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.

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.

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.

Scream 3 gets too much hate, while I think the first 2 are better, Scream 3 is still a guilty pleasure and is very entertaining. The only problems I have with it is that there isn’t enough Sidney in here, the setting is off, and too much humor

Very boring, very tedious, and with a very forced ending.

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!

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

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.
