REVIEW #271 Scream 3 (2000)

As a string of murders start to build up on the set of Stab 3, Sydney and co find themselves being dragged into a game of horror movie mayhem once again.

Scream 3 illustrates how the writers and producers simply hit a brick wall in terms of ideas for the franchise, relying heavily on highlighting the significance of it being a trilogy but in fact there was nothing exciting or juicy about this third instalment. It just felt repetitive and uninteresting, we have seen it all before and I found myself losing patience with it. The twist with Sydney’s half brother was a little far fetched and quite frankly, pretty poorly explained. As the first two built up some excitement for me to finish the franchise, Scream 3 has instead made me incredibly apprehensive, praying that they found some interesting ideas to inject some freshness into the movies.

Overall (4/10)

Thanks for reading.
