Coming into this film all I knew from the unfavorable reviews was that most people thought this film was the worst in the franchise and I agree with them still, let's look at this film from a different perspective, shall we? Columbine took its toll on 2000 and early 2001 action and horror blockbuster films. 9/11 and the Iraq war exerted their devastation on Hollywood for at least 5 years from 2001-2006. Most of the horror movies made at the time being about torture **** and other thriller nonsense. Due to the shooting and several copy-cat crimes inspired by Scream (1996) that all the Scream films make fun of, Harvey Weinstein and his lap-dogs had to switch the franchise into a Comedy-Horror instead of a Horror-Comedy. Don't get me twisted there were still some scary scenes. Sadly, the movie looks and feels like a cheesy Sam Raimi Spider-Man film which isn't necessarily a bad thing. A little spice up and cheese doesn't hurt underneath a good scary show. However, the movie took it way too far and ruined it all. Some of Wes Craven's films are straight masterpieces that belong in a museum. The rest of his work belongs in the trash and a few like Scream 3 are just straight mediocre.
I find it insane how Scream 3 ( produced by Harvey Weinstein) made fun of Hollywood big guys banging young chicks for acting roles and somehow Hollywood did not know? Apart from everything going on outside of the film, the actual film should have been PG-13; the film barely had any good gore or kills but being a Scream movie the whodunnit, horror, and comedy aspects were still entertaining. I will say that even if this film doesn't entice you; you should still make sure to watch it if you plan on seeing the entire Scream Quadrilogy soon to be a Pentalogoy (if Scream 5 hits theatres in January 2022). We just lived through 2020, I can't rule anything out.
