The opening sequence of this with Cotton is my favorite part, and I remember sitting in the theater and hoping they would break the formula and leave him in as a main character with the added weight of his wife's murder, since it would likely be pinned on him. I still consider that a lost opportunity.
After the explosion hearing Parker Posey yelling, "I can't...stop...falling...down the hill!!". 😂😂. It's not the best Scream film, but it's the funniest by far.
It’s off balance. I love 4 because it’s gory like part 1 and 2, but with more of the humor from 3. It’s got the right balance. But also, the Kevin Williamson films feel directly connected and this one just feels unbalanced. There are plenty of things to love about this film though. The behind the scenes drama is too apparent in the final cut though.
While I agree that they could've tightened it up a bit, I actually really like it. Even if I put it as my 3rd favorite, it's much closer to 2 for me than most. In fact, depending on the day, I can like 3 better than 2. Besides, it puts the Scream universe in the Askewniverse with the cameo from Jay & Silent Bob themselves, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith. And that is a plus for me. Plus, I like the Emily Mortimer story arc, supposedly a wholesome actress who, as it turns out, slept with someone to get the role on Stab 3.
The way Scream’s ‘worst’ movie in the franchise is still better than half of the other slasher sequels. I mean it has it’s weaknesses but compare it to some of the Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th movies. It’s MILES ahead. It just shows how strong the series as a whole is.
Miramax didn’t like the idea of violence after what happened at columbine. So they downplayed the gore and scares and upped the comedy aspect. The creepy old school producer could be considered a dig at a certain person in the Weinstein company! It can’t be coincidental, can it?.
I like it more than the reviewer did it seems. Forgot to add how fucking hilarious the movie is with Parker Posey and Arquette. I at least thought they both were hilarious here. The knife chucking at Dewey scene only to hit him with the knob of the knife is one the funniest scenes ever.
Honestly Scream 3 is underrated. It's a remarkably fitting finality to the series (until Scream 4 came and ruined that) taking the horror directly to its most logical location thematically-- Hollywood itself. The only thing that truely stands out to me as negatives is the lackluster killer's whiny pretentions and the weird little voice changer device. But that's not really enough to break the film for me.
Scream 3 is still Awful. I have it because I have the (now no longer so) Scream complete collection. There ARE some things I like about it. I love the opening (I swear Scream does not miss with their cold openings) with how brutal and kinda sad it is. I love the cameos, but most of all I love the movie set for Stab 3 recreating the sets of the first film. It's a haunting and surreal set of moments. I don't like the rest of the film tho. Weakest & most uninteresting Killer, I absolutely LOATHE the decision to retcon/change the first film. That Billy Loomis and Stu were essentially pawns and didn't do the whole murdering of their own. And we really didn't need a surprise family member twist at the end. Plus the whole explosion kill is just too dumb for me. I'll still rewatch it every now and then, but it's absolutely not a first choice. For my order of fav Scream movies, it goes Scream Scream 4 Scream 2 Scream 3. Here's hoping Scream 5 will be good but without having Wes Craven (Rest in Peace) I'm def worried
I dont know why but 2 is my least favorite. I loved the opening of 3 with Cotton getting killed and the idea of the story writing itself as it went along.
I just think it's hilarious it is self aware of how sleazy Hollywood is 20 year ago!...... Lays it out, doesn't apologize for it.... Could had used more gore though..... then again, it was a "touchy" time.....
3:22 "Scream 3 isn't a bad movie." I must have seen a different Scream 3 then. WTF, did you just defend this movie with, paraphrasing: "If you're going to watch all the Scream movies, you'll have to this one as well"? This was your OPENING defense of the movie? And that was after saying how well Scream and its sequel fit together too... My only guess is someone sucks at playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and had to pay ... the penalty.
This guy pisses me off with his nitpicking of the movie. I know I am in the minority here, but Scream 3 is one of my favorite sequels in the franchise. I even prefer it over part 2. Most of the things he picks apart are some of the very reasons I love it so much. I will agree that the movie fell into the trap of most slasher films by having half baked characters that seemed like they were only there to be killed. However, Parker Posey is pure magic and she and Courtney Cox have great chemistry. I didn't really like the killers in part 2 (mostly Mickey) and Scream 3 makes up for it. I think Scott Fowley brought a great intesity to his character and the fight sequence between he and Sidney is my favorite of the series. It is very well choreographed and directed. he ending was very intense because I thought Sidney was going to die. Also, the runtime doesn't bother me. It's the last film in the trilogy. I love that the movie ties everything back to the original. Is it a little convoluted? Maybe, but it still works. Scream at its heart is a horror-comedy so It's allowed to be a little campy and over the top. I also loved the dream sequences with her mother. They added another level of darkness to the film. You call them supernatural but I want to know when dreams became supernatural? They were just used as Sidney's illusions to show her being haunted by her mother's past. It's a nice touch in my opinion. I usually like the videos on this channel but this one just annoyed me because it seemed very nitpicky. I agree, it's not a perfect movie and it definitely feels like the 3rd in the series. It's also missing that polished writing from Kevin. Still, it's a very funny film and I love the setting for the finale since I hated the setting for the finale in Scream 2. I know i'll get people telling me to relax and not to take it personal but I can't help it. I love this film and I will die on this hill defending it. It's funny becuase I didn't care for it when I first saw it in the theaters but I've fallen in love with it over the years as I did with Halloween 2, Halloween 6 and a few other horror films.
Scream 3 is no longer the black sheep, besides Gale's bangs. The tv show is. I love Roman being the killer, it makes sense and ties the trilogy together nicely. Also Campbell and Cox are as good as they have ever been, it was only the writing that was inconsistent. Randy's cameo was also cool and a nice surprise and again made sense for the character. And like other Scream films this movie was also ahead of its time with its #MeToo subplot with Maureen and her trauma setting this whole franchise off. Watch some reaction videos and you'll see newer generations see Scream 3 as a good installment. And Scream is still the best and most consistent slasher series around!
Saying that you don’t always have to tie in a movie with previous entries misses the whole meta commentary point of Scream 3. It’s following the established “rules” of a trilogy. These plot devices used may be trite but that is point of the series.
I loved scream 3 when it came out. The killer reveal was badass but not the character doing it, was kinda random. Mickey is still the king for me! No motive just plain psycho with timothy spicing it up! I hope Scream 5 gives us a super sweet twist! My dreams at night yell more stu!
You could definitely do a lot worse than Scream 3 in terms of slashers. Its still a competently made film since its Wes Craven. The problem is the writing and unlikeable characters.
Stu was actually to return back in scream 3 but idk what happened with that😕 Angelina was really suppose to be helping Roman she was he's gf but yet idk what happened with that plan
@@jorboii I just can't handle part 4...... Specially when it's revealed those 2 scrawny bitches were the ones killing and throwing people out of buildings.... It's laughable when you see the stunt man is obviously a tall, athletic man
I saw it back in 8th grade in the theaters with a friend. We walked out of that theater so disappointed. Though I do appreciate it more now because of the nostalgia.
I disagree that the Randy moment felt forced. Jay and Silent Bob? Yes, of course, but Randy's scene is so perfect and inkeeping with the character that it might actually be the best writing of the movie. Randy would have 100% made that video for the survivors. 100%. I feel like it's a kind of apology for his death on the filmmaker's part but with the caveat that yes, he is dead but here's a little more. It's fucking perfect.
5:51 Yes, dream sequence feels like it doesnt belong to the Scream movies, but Wes said he wanted to add some more dread and tension to the movie this way, while studio constantly insisted on toning down the violence. But when you think how traumathised Sidney is at this point, having such dreams make sense. And it's pure Wes Craven!
Scream 3 isn't the worst slasher sequel ever but it's definitely not the best sequel either. It has some decent moments and it does have that Craven feel to it which is always a good thing. The whole Hollywood meta thing, having the art more than imitate life where our surviving characters from the previous movies live in the "art" while roaming around Hollywood might be a little too on the nose and I can see how it can turn people off from getting into it the same way the previous two movies draws the viewers in. But it's at least more coherent and narratively linear than other slasher franchise sequels.
Is Scream 3 the weakes one in the series? Probably. Is Scream 3 a bad movie? No! Since I have learnt about it's production history (Williamson not being able to write, dropping the OG concpet for script and studio insisting on more comedy and less violence/blood after Columbine shootings, Neve having a very limited time for reprising the role, Craven rewriting the script on the go, and so on), and since I've learnt how Craven fought to deliver a decent movie I really appreciate Scream 3. Sure, almost every single time I watch it I get bit frustrated. Because I know it could be soooo much better, if only studio didn't put such a preassure on Craven. Still it is such a good sequel, and has so much interesting and entertainign things in it. Speaking of studio's interference, well, at the end it's nothing in comparison to Cursed. Weinsteins f*cked Wes big time messing with that movie's production...
What I love about the Scream films is how psychological they get after Ghostface gets unmasked, it gives an idea of how deranged these people are. Scream 3? "F*** You!" No, F*** You! "No, F*** You!" Such insightful dialogue. So, no, I don't consider Scream 3 to be a Scream movie, it's just a Scream ripoff that happens to be by the guy who directed Scream 1, 2 and 4.
This movies all right. Dumb but well made. The only problem I have is the icky backstory/subplot of their mom, Roman's motivation, and what happened to her back then. And being produced by the Weinstein's is just....wow....
I still like "Scream 3" as well as its soundtrack. I just posted that I didn't like the "fandom" motive in Scream (2021), and it seems somewhat hypocritical as it feels like a "next-level" edition of Roman's motive from "Scream 3" but with a whole franchise instead of a movie.
That plot point about Maureen Prescott’s ordeal, it was such open knowledge, regarding Harvey Weinstein’s heinous crimes. Harvey Weinstein was a producer on Scream 3, Weinstein’s known diabolical pleasure from getting away with his Caligulan delights in plain sight is arguably most primely (and sickly) revealed in Scream 3, which he possibly chose to let slide in this particular film for how rarely viewed it is in comparison to its two predecessors. Yet it is for this reason that Scream 3 might just be the creepiest out of all four installments. Harvey Weinstein served as an executive producer on all four of Wes Craven's Scream movies (as well as the TV show of the same name, That Harvey Weinstein lurked over the producing credits now feels like a horrible kind of irony. “You can see the similarities in the demise of the very company that produced it,” the film’s editor, Patrick Lussier stated, ultimately I don’t think the story in “Scream 3” is appreciated as much as it should be, But The irony of “Scream 3, is that it was distributed by Dimension Films. Scream 3 was inundated by scheduling issues, studio meddling, and daily rewrites. Twisting itself around this convoluted narrative is the fact that Harvey Weinstein executive-produced the movie, sometimes they say that truth is stranger than fiction. Dimension Films’ projects were largely overseen by Bob Weinstein, with Harvey distracted by more Oscar-friendly material over at Miramax, parallels between Harvey Weinstein and John Milton are clear, but what remains a mystery is if the Miramax head was ignorant of the similarities between himself and the fictional producer or was, far more disgustingly, boasting about his crimes to a largely uninformed public. After all, life imitates art and vice versa.
To each their own....If someone really enjoys this movie, that's cool. I just feel like there should have been Scream....And that should have been enough. It's like making a series out of a parody...I'm looking at you, Scary Movie! I felt like IF they were going to keep it going, maybe have Syd become the killer instead of bringing in more killers with threadbare motivations every time. We'll see how this next one is...
This movie is quite good. I don't see the hate for it. Maybe because it's PART 3 in the series and generally people perceive third installments to be inferior without a second thought. This is one of the third parts I think is on the level of the first two. I like we didn't have Sidney as the focus and we had a solo killer. Roman having ties to the first movie's killers is a nice touch because as the movie teaches, trilogies always go back to the beginning and tie things up. The Randy cameo is not forced. They obviously wanted him to discuss the rules of a trilogy since he did the other two movies discussing the concepts of their stand in a series and this was originally the end so having him there to finish it out made sense as opposed to having some one else discuss the trilogy concept for him. LAY OFF THAT CAMEO. This is a tape done before his death and unless they decided to bring him back good as new or even all scarred, you have nothing to claim was diminishing to his death in any way. If they were to do this again in Scream 4, THEN you can say it feels forced because now they're stretching like the amount of times they were expanding Jigsaw's role in the Saw series after he died in Part 3. Speaking of Scream 4, it amazes me how many people put that above Scream 3, which is laughable given how overly rushed and short that movie is compared to all of the others. Look at all the deleted scenes that movie has and had those been included in the final cut, then you could say it's better than Scream 3. They took out so much interaction between the original trio, development of the new cast, and the more fleshed out ending with the original trio. What was Wes Craven thinking? Scream 2 was 120 minutes long and Scream 4 with all those scenes would have added to the same length but it gets dropped to a whopping 103 minutes.
I enjoy the movie, but I preferred part 4 (especially as the latter was filmed in my home state) over part 3. I don't think Scream 3 is as bad as thought (and it had a troubled production compared to the others). I finally watched it last year for its 20th anniversary and a watch for the whole series (up to that point, I had only seen the first one). They're apparently releasing a 5th one next year/in 2 months or so.
I'm sorry, but the fact that you said New Nightmare is in the top 3 Nightmare movies offended me. That movie is worse than Dream Child, and that movie has super Freddy.
Scream 3 is not a bad movie . It just has some mishaps . The movie used a lot of comedy elements to fight against lawsuits trying to say movies are the cause of violence . The story is there, and it is easy not to watch , but the movie does round up a conclusion. Yes , Sidney wasn’t there the whole movie , but that final shoot were we see Sid leave the door open and not to worry about life ahead of her, is a great ending . Shows a whole arch of her character. Lack of Kevin , lack of a good story line , lack of everything. But Kruger and Craven served the movie Justice as much as they good .
Scream 3 might have been better with even less Neve Campbell by keeping her out of the movie to create a bit of mystery about her whereabouts and maybe have her as a possible suspect. Nevertheless, I thought it was pretty good and Parker Posey brought it, as always.
Eh, this movie is not my bag. But it passes the time without complaints if you want to watch something where a group of teens or college kids get murdered by some psycho for reasons. A popcorn muncher.
It really bothers me that this is considered the worst of the series. I consider it the second best behind the 1st one. It went deeper into the rules of sequels and trilogies and the harpooning of Hollywood horrors by showing the characters actually entering into the making of their horror movies and tied the series together. I also feel like it helped solidify the group cohesion of our longtime favorites and showed them acting as a team to be their own heroes. In fact this should have been the end of the franchise. I will, however, give you that the mother ghost scenes weren't particularly well executed and felt out of place.
Although its completely ridiculous, I preferred Scream 3 over 2 and 4. 1 is still the best in the series. It will be interesting to see how 5 turns out.
It was a dream not supernatural. Gale was amazing in this movie with Jennifer and Neve's performance is the best of the franchise. Never feels long either
My aunt Lori worked on this movie and has a 3ish second part in the film. Theres a short haired blonde lady sitting in a chair on the left side of the door as the characters come out of the studio in the first act of the film and thats her.
This was the first movie I was ever taken to the theatre’s to see as a child, I think I was probably like 5 or 6. In retrospect it sounds pretty messed up but I enjoyed it. Lol Scream is my all time favorite movie. Watch all three of the originals like every year.
I was 5 years old when I saw Scream 1. My babysitter had it on the TV and I'll never forget that feeling I had when I saw Drew Barrymore hanging from that tree.
The opening sequence of this with Cotton is my favorite part, and I remember sitting in the theater and hoping they would break the formula and leave him in as a main character with the added weight of his wife's murder, since it would likely be pinned on him. I still consider that a lost opportunity.
Parker Posey and Courteney Cox are the comedy duo I didn't know I needed.
This
Agreed 😂
My Sentiments Exactly
After the explosion hearing Parker Posey yelling, "I can't...stop...falling...down the hill!!".
😂😂.
It's not the best Scream film, but it's the funniest by far.
Whoa I don’t even remember that lol time to rewatch. I love Parker Posey as Jennifer Jolie
Parker Posey deserved an Oscar here. Jennifer Jolie is, by far, the best and most funny character in the whole franchise!
I love the scene with her, Courtney Cox and Carrie Fisher. Whenever I think of Scream 3 that part always pops into my head first lol
I will never ever understand the hate for this film... It is my personal favorite!
Finally thank it was a great close out to the series
Agreed!!

It's a great ending chapter to the trilogy. It followed the spirit of the franchise and came to a satisfying campy end like it should.

The whole Hollywood meta thing, having the art more than imitate life where our surviving characters from the previous movies live in the "art" while roaming around Hollywood might be a little too on the nose and I can see how it can turn people off from getting into it the same way the previous two movies draws the viewers in. But it's at least more coherent and narratively linear than other slasher franchise sequels.
I don’t hate it like alot do but it is the weakest entry
Decent enough twist though I wish it would have kept the 2nd killer story instead
Is Scream 3 the weakes one in the series? Probably.
Is Scream 3 a bad movie? No!
Since I have learnt about it's production history (Williamson not being able to write, dropping the OG concpet for script and studio insisting on more comedy and less violence/blood after Columbine shootings, Neve having a very limited time for reprising the role, Craven rewriting the script on the go, and so on),
and since I've learnt how Craven fought to deliver a decent movie I really appreciate Scream 3.
Sure, almost every single time I watch it I get bit frustrated.
Because I know it could be soooo much better, if only studio didn't put such a preassure on Craven.
Still it is such a good sequel, and has so much interesting and entertainign things in it.
Speaking of studio's interference, well, at the end it's nothing in comparison to Cursed.
Weinsteins f*cked Wes big time messing with that movie's production...
Hot take this isn't the WORST OF THE SERIES
That would be 4
The Vaseline Smered lense just kills it and makes it feel so out-of place
What I love about the Scream films is how psychological they get after Ghostface gets unmasked, it gives an idea of how deranged these people are. Scream 3?
"F*** You!" No, F*** You! "No, F*** You!" Such insightful dialogue.
So, no, I don't consider Scream 3 to be a Scream movie, it's just a Scream ripoff that happens to be by the guy who directed Scream 1, 2 and 4.
This movies all right. Dumb but well made. The only problem I have is the icky backstory/subplot of their mom, Roman's motivation, and what happened to her back then. And being produced by the Weinstein's is just....wow....
I still like "Scream 3" as well as its soundtrack. I just posted that I didn't like the "fandom" motive in Scream (2021), and it seems somewhat hypocritical as it feels like a "next-level" edition of Roman's motive from "Scream 3" but with a whole franchise instead of a movie.
That plot point about Maureen Prescott’s ordeal, it was such open knowledge, regarding Harvey Weinstein’s heinous crimes. Harvey Weinstein was a producer on Scream 3, Weinstein’s known diabolical pleasure from getting away with his Caligulan delights in plain sight is arguably most primely (and sickly) revealed in Scream 3, which he possibly chose to let slide in this particular film for how rarely viewed it is in comparison to its two predecessors. Yet it is for this reason that Scream 3 might just be the creepiest out of all four installments. Harvey Weinstein served as an executive producer on all four of Wes Craven's Scream movies (as well as the TV show of the same name, That Harvey Weinstein lurked over the producing credits now feels like a horrible kind of irony. “You can see the similarities in the demise of the very company that produced it,” the film’s editor, Patrick Lussier stated, ultimately I don’t think the story in “Scream 3” is appreciated as much as it should be, But The irony of “Scream 3, is that it was distributed by Dimension Films. Scream 3 was inundated by scheduling issues, studio meddling, and daily rewrites. Twisting itself around this convoluted narrative is the fact that Harvey Weinstein executive-produced the movie, sometimes they say that truth is stranger than fiction.
Dimension Films’ projects were largely overseen by Bob Weinstein, with Harvey distracted by more Oscar-friendly material over at Miramax, parallels between Harvey Weinstein and John Milton are clear, but what remains a mystery is if the Miramax head was ignorant of the similarities between himself and the fictional producer or was, far more disgustingly, boasting about his crimes to a largely uninformed public.
After all, life imitates art and vice versa.
FUNNY FACT

PARKER POSEY

GHOSTFACE :
" YOU CAN'T KILL ME ,
I'M THE KILLER IN
SCREAM 3 "
7:53 music???
To each their own....If someone really enjoys this movie, that's cool. I just feel like there should have been Scream....And that should have been enough. It's like making a series out of a parody...I'm looking at you, Scary Movie! I felt like IF they were going to keep it going, maybe have Syd become the killer instead of bringing in more killers with threadbare motivations every time. We'll see how this next one is...
WOW.Thanks for the nostalgia ride,haven't watched any of the SCREAM flics in years.MAY have to watch the first one again.
This movie is quite good. I don't see the hate for it. Maybe because it's PART 3 in the series and generally people perceive third installments to be inferior without a second thought. This is one of the third parts I think is on the level of the first two. I like we didn't have Sidney as the focus and we had a solo killer. Roman having ties to the first movie's killers is a nice touch because as the movie teaches, trilogies always go back to the beginning and tie things up. The Randy cameo is not forced. They obviously wanted him to discuss the rules of a trilogy since he did the other two movies discussing the concepts of their stand in a series and this was originally the end so having him there to finish it out made sense as opposed to having some one else discuss the trilogy concept for him. LAY OFF THAT CAMEO. This is a tape done before his death and unless they decided to bring him back good as new or even all scarred, you have nothing to claim was diminishing to his death in any way. If they were to do this again in Scream 4, THEN you can say it feels forced because now they're stretching like the amount of times they were expanding Jigsaw's role in the Saw series after he died in Part 3. Speaking of Scream 4, it amazes me how many people put that above Scream 3, which is laughable given how overly rushed and short that movie is compared to all of the others. Look at all the deleted scenes that movie has and had those been included in the final cut, then you could say it's better than Scream 3. They took out so much interaction between the original trio, development of the new cast, and the more fleshed out ending with the original trio. What was Wes Craven thinking? Scream 2 was 120 minutes long and Scream 4 with all those scenes would have added to the same length but it gets dropped to a whopping 103 minutes.
I enjoy the movie, but I preferred part 4 (especially as the latter was filmed in my home state) over part 3. I don't think Scream 3 is as bad as thought (and it had a troubled production compared to the others). I finally watched it last year for its 20th anniversary and a watch for the whole series (up to that point, I had only seen the first one).
They're apparently releasing a 5th one next year/in 2 months or so.
SCREAM 3
is so much better than
SCREAM 1996 & SCREAM 4
& SCREAM 5
I'm sorry, but the fact that you said New Nightmare is in the top 3 Nightmare movies offended me. That movie is worse than Dream Child, and that movie has super Freddy.
Poor Steve gets forgotten same for cotton gf...every scream film opens with 2 deaths until 5
Scream 3 is not a bad movie . It just has some mishaps . The movie used a lot of comedy elements to fight against lawsuits trying to say movies are the cause of violence . The story is there, and it is easy not to watch , but the movie does round up a conclusion. Yes , Sidney wasn’t there the whole movie , but that final shoot were we see Sid leave the door open and not to worry about life ahead of her, is a great ending . Shows a whole arch of her character. Lack of Kevin , lack of a good story line , lack of everything. But Kruger and Craven served the movie Justice as much as they good .
Scream 3 might have been better with even less Neve Campbell by keeping her out of the movie to create a bit of mystery about her whereabouts and maybe have her as a possible suspect. Nevertheless, I thought it was pretty good and Parker Posey brought it, as always.
REWATCH & PAY ATTENTION TO
SCREAM 3
DETECTIVE KINCAID
WAS ORIGINALLY THE KILLER
& HE WASN'T
SIDNEY'S BROTHER
HE WAS JUST
OBSESSED WITH HER
Eh, this movie is not my bag. But it passes the time without complaints if you want to watch something where a group of teens or college kids get murdered by some psycho for reasons. A popcorn muncher.
It really bothers me that this is considered the worst of the series. I consider it the second best behind the 1st one. It went deeper into the rules of sequels and trilogies and the harpooning of Hollywood horrors by showing the characters actually entering into the making of their horror movies and tied the series together. I also feel like it helped solidify the group cohesion of our longtime favorites and showed them acting as a team to be their own heroes. In fact this should have been the end of the franchise. I will, however, give you that the mother ghost scenes weren't particularly well executed and felt out of place.
Although its completely ridiculous, I preferred Scream 3 over 2 and 4. 1 is still the best in the series. It will be interesting to see how 5 turns out.
Will sid get pregnant with mark babies it show in scream 5that sid put stroller with a child in it?
It was a dream not supernatural. Gale was amazing in this movie with Jennifer and Neve's performance is the best of the franchise. Never feels long either
I actually really enjoyed part 3. Part 4 was the unnecessary sequel. 3 wrapped up everything nicely
Scream 3 had the strongest /deadliest Ghostface killer from the rest of them 🔥 Roman was badass
How is it convoluted? Billy found out about his cheating dad somehow and seems like he was turning on Stu with those deep cuts
My aunt Lori worked on this movie and has a 3ish second part in the film. Theres a short haired blonde lady sitting in a chair on the left side of the door as the characters come out of the studio in the first act of the film and thats her.
I don't consider scream 3 the black sheep I give that title to scream 4 it was junk.
Courtney cox haircut is terrible she was such a stunning lady but that hair dosent do anything for her.
I celebrate Lance, that dude does not get enough love. He is a solid addition to any movie
This was the first movie I was ever taken to the theatre’s to see as a child, I think I was probably like 5 or 6. In retrospect it sounds pretty messed up but I enjoyed it. Lol
Scream is my all time favorite movie. Watch all three of the originals like every year.
I was 5 years old when I saw Scream 1. My babysitter had it on the TV and I'll never forget that feeling I had when I saw Drew Barrymore hanging from that tree.
I only like part 1and 2 so far but I can't wait to see part 5
I'll take Courtney's hair and her old face vs. what we get today.
Only thing scary about this movie is Gale Weathers haircut
Would watch this one over Scream 4 anyday.
Scream 3 was the very first horror film that I ever watched as a kid. :)
Who was the hair stylist on this movie? A 4 year old with safety scissors?
I gave this a like just for the comment about her hair 🤣
I watched it twice in 2 days on DVD 📀 Video, again.
3 is a million times better than 4. I hate 4 and I hate that it was his last movie
Just terrible. Scream turned into a soap opera.
Roman the director , reminds me of quentin tarantino.
Doesn’t feel like a horror movie
More drama thriller
Despite the flaws I still like it and never got the hate
