Scream 3 Review

Review of Scream 3 (2000) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

A trilogy "capper" in its own right that still had some influence to throw around. It also taps into a lot of interrogative practices some filmmakers were just then starting to explore (see SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, SEED OF CHUCKY), likely from the advent of Craven's pre-SCREAM meta experiment NEW NIGHTMARE.

Craven allows himself to get goofier with this and it works because the more you examine it the more outlandish the system of power & influence in Hollywood is (especially during the '99-00 turn). The moment I saw Roger Corman and Lance Henriksen I knew what to expect and started to truly enjoy this.
