We have a trilogy, folks! The third installment of our "scream week" picks up coincidentally during the filming of "Stab 3" and the rules of the trilogy are at work in full force. For better and, at times, for worse. Either way, it's a scream.

I used to call this the low point of the Scream franchise, but then…well, we’ll get there soon enough (and that’s something we in the writing business call suspense, which this movie could use a few lessons in). Whatever plans Kevin Williamson had for a trilogy were already in tatters after he had to completely change the second film’s script, and here a variety of behind the scenes issues forced him to leave the project after just submitting a story outline. Replacement writer Ehren Kruger (who had one shining moment with the American remake of The Ring where he had the original film to work off, and has otherwise done nothing but crap, including three of the Transformers films) completely ignored that outline, and apparently turned in such a terrible script that Craven himself takes credit for writing numerous scenes in the commentary. Then you add in that Neve Campbell was unusually busy, resulting in a bizarre plot structure where Dewey and Gale take over as the lead characters for most of the movie, with Sidney shunted into a supporting role until the climax suddenly treats her as the lead again. And after the first film misdirected us by making the killers so obvious that we suspect there has to be a twist, and the second had many fans predicting the killers just for being the two characters who would have no story purpose if they weren’t the killers, this one goes with the bold step of just not giving us any clues at all and then assigning the role to a character at random, complete with an out of nowhere backstory connection to Sidney pulled right out of someone’s ass. Add in the inherent discomfort of a movie about a sexual predator Hollywood producer being produced by Harvey Weinstein, and the whole thing is just unpleasant to sit through. Thankfully, a fun reaction commentary like this actually does make it worthwhile, so thanks for that.

Oh I'm so excited to see where you think the low point is, because for me this is definitely it lol. Such a shame this completely abandoned the original script. I have read online that changes were made in the wake of Columbine. I don't know if all the articles were accurate or not, but it seems possible at LEAST the studio may have pushed for less violence. The second killer would have made this marginally better, but nothing could have saved the story and the killer's connection to Sid.
