Scream 3 is a 2000 slasher movie directed by Wes Craven, from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger. It is the third film in the Scream franchise.Some time after the killings at Windsor College, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has gone into complete isolation. When the Stab film series begins production on its third and final installment, another killer calling themselves Ghostface surfaces on the scene, apparently targeting its cast members. It soon becomes evident that the murders are somehow linked to Sidney's late mother Maureen, forcing Sidney to face her past once and for all.Returning from previous installments are Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Liev Schreiber, while new additions to the cast include Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, Lance Henriksen, Matt Keeslar, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer, Parker Posey, Kelly Rutherford, Deon Richmond, Patrick Warburton, Josh Pais, Heather Matarazzo, and Carrie Fisher, while Roger L. Jackson once again returns as the voice of Ghostface.Though intended to be the final film in the Scream series, it would later be followed by a fourth installment, Scream 4, in 2011. A fifth, Scream, would kick off a new storyline of the series in 2022.

Fauxshadowing: Tom Prinze callously theorizes that Sidney is the new Ghostface. In early drafts for the film, this was meant to foreshadow that Angelina, the actress who plays Sidney in Stab 3, was Ghostface, but in the final film, Roman reveals himself as the lone killer with no partner helping him.

The Cameo: Jay and Silent Bob appear on the movie set of Stab 3. In their film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, they interrupt the filming of a fictional Scream sequel. Roger Corman also has a cameo as a studio executive. In-universe, Cotton Weary shoots a cameo for Stab 3 As Himself. Heather Matarazzo appears as Randy's sister. Carrie Fisher appears... as a woman who is always mistaken for Carrie Fisher, and is very annoyed by it. She also accuses Carrie Fisher of sleeping with George Lucas to get the role of Princess Leia, which she was apparently very close to getting.

Chekhov's Gun
 Scream 3 / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: After Ghostface discovers Sidney's home location and harasses Sidney on the phone, Sidney proceeds to arm herself with a revolver that she keeps inside her desk. Because this occurs so early in the film, it is easy to forget that when she borrows a gun from the police station, she actually has two guns, not one, at that point. Thus, when Ghostface forces her to throw away the pistol discovered by the metal detector, she is able to keep her revolver and use it against him. The Bulletproof Vest that Sidney uses in the finale is first seen in the police station when Ghostface once again calls her. Roman speculates that Milton's mansion has a secret screening room. It turns out to be an understatement since Milton has multiple secret passages and secret rooms throughout his mansion. Furthermore, the final battle takes place in said secret screening room.

Psychopathic Manchild
 Scream 3 / int_3ae6199a
comment
Sidney's half-brother Roman Bridger, the killer of this film, is ultimately shown to be a self-entitled Psychopathic Manchild who directly or indirectly orchestrated the killing sprees of the first three movies. His reasoning to do so is because Maureen rejected him for being a Child by Rape and a reminder of her trauma. After Sidney survives two killing sprees, at the expense of nearly having her life ruined by them, Roman goes on a final one in a bid for revenge, because he thinks he is owed Sidney's fame and life.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: The killer, Roman, explains that he is Sidney's half-brother, and fires off his reason why he committed the murders. Sidney then cuts him off, saying she's tired of all the bullshit that the killers she has encountered have told her, and says that all of the reasons she has heard are just pathetic excuses that the killers use to hide the fact that they kill people simply because they enjoy doing it. This leads to a rather large Villainous Breakdown.

Killed Offscreen
 Scream 3 / int_423f5a19
comment
As a drunk Roman takes Jennifer to find Milton's secret theater room in his house, he says to Dewey, "We'll be right back!" One of Randy's horror movie rules in the first film was that a character saying "I'll be right back!" ensured that they would never be back. The rule seemingly comes true when Gale finds Roman's dead body in the basement, with him seemingly having been Killed Offscreen, but this is proven to be a fakeout to hide his identity as the killer.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Scream 3 / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Cotton Weary appears in the opening scene talking on the phone with his agent, complaining that the only gig he could get after getting a successful talk show is a cameo at the beginning of Stab 3, which he calls a "cheap slasher flick". After Ricky voices his concerns with murders surrounding the Stab movies again after Cotton is killed, Sarah assures him that "we are not in any danger." Ricky then points out that "We are not in any danger" is a verbatim line of her character Candy on page 15 of the Stab 3 script; the moment when Sarah says the line is exactly 15 minutes into the movie. The Stab 3 cast can't predict their characters' fate since the script is being kept under wraps to avoid it being leaked on the Internet, with three different versions having been created. This happened during the production of Scream 2, and may have led Craven & co. to change that movie's outcome: in a leaked version, Derek and Hallie were the killers.

Sex Signals Death: Lampshaded by Randy, who taped a video prior to his death just in case, and blames what became his eventual death in the last film on the fact that he had sex with a female coworker at the video store he worked at. One of the most egregious instances ever: Angelina gets killed seconds after revealing that she slept with the producer to get the role. Damn, do the rules strike fast! Doubles as a Death by Irony, since Angelina played Final Girl Sidney in Stab 3, and yet she herself failed to follow the rules that final girls are to obey (but then again, so did Sidney herself in the first film).

Pre-Mortem One-Liner: When Roman has a knife to Milton's throat in the climax, Milton begs for mercy by offering him the chance to direct any movie he wants, with the last perk he mentions being "final cut". Roman's response? Sidney delivers one before stabbing Roman through the chest (although he jumps up shortly after and is instead killed by Dewey), playing off the title of Stab 3 and the fact that she had just stabbed him through the back twice.

Remember the New Guy?: Randy has a previously unmentioned sister named Martha, who arrives on the Stab 3 set to give Sidney and co. Randy's tape for surviving horror trilogies. Speaking of previously unmentioned siblings, the killer is Roman Bridger, who is Sidney's half-brother. However, in this case, it is justified, as the one person that did know his true identity, Maureen Prescott, wanted to start a new life and forget the past, which included Roman.

Subverted in reality, as Jenny McCarthy, who played the role of Sarah, was born in 1972, and was 27 when filming her scenes in 1999. Scott Foley is the same age as Jenny McCarthy, yet his character Roman is celebrating his 30th birthday.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Scream 3 / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: The film never explains how Roman figured out Sidney's phone number. (Angelina, if she is to be considered the second killer as it was filmed during 3/4 of production, could have easily taken Jennifer's phone sometime at the wrap party and passed the details onto Roman). Roman faking his own death in a convincing manner is also never explained in the movie, although Word of God states that Roman used a secret technique to stop his blood pulse. Wes Craven tried to write dialogue explaining it, but he found all of the written material unnatural. Sidney discovers that Kincaid keeps a suspiciously in-depth file on her, but it is never brought up again, even when Kincaid visits her home at the end of the movie. With Kincaid's innocence in mind, one can assume that it is merely part of Kincaid's police work.

Big Bad: Roman was the one that convinced Billy and Stu to become killers in the first film, and was indirectly responsible for Mrs. Loomis wanting to avenge Billy's death, plus Mickey, Jill and Charles' fame-seeking motivation for being the next Ghostfaces. Furthermore, Roman was the lone Ghostface killer in the third film, so one could arguably consider him as the Biggest Bad for the series, at least for the original trilogy.

Kincaid's partner Detective Wallace is also this. Since the previous films had a Big Bad Duumvirate, it is natural to assume that if Kincaid is Ghostface, then his associate is very likely the second Ghostface. During the third act, Sidney find it suspicious when Kincaid shows up at Milton's mansion without Wallace in tow.

Foreshadowing
 Scream 3 / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The sudden appearance of Randy's previously unmentioned sister foreshadows the sudden appearance of Sidney's previously unmentioned half-brother as the killer. Likewise, in Randy's videotape, Randy talks about trilogies and how "true trilogies" are about going back to the beginning and discovering something that wasn't true from the get-go. When he notes examples of "true trilogies", he uses Return of the Jedi, the film in which Luke discovers that he has a secret sibling, and The Godfather Part III, the film that revealed that Sonny Corleone had an illegitimate son. This point is driven even further home with the cameo of Carrie Fisher, who appears as an actress who nearly got the Princess Leia role. Milton admits to Gale that Maureen Prescott may have been raped at one of his parties. He was right, since the killer is one of Maureen's own children, a Child by Rape. About halfway through the film, Jennifer is worried that she'll die next because Gale Weathers - whom she's playing - dies following Sarah Darling's character Candy in the script. However, she reveals before her murder to Ghostface that Gale was the killer of Stab 3, implying she faked her death. This Ghostface, Roman, faked his death in order to throw the group off his scent.

Made of Iron: Randy's "trilogy rules" state that, at the ends of trilogies, the killers become supernaturally strong and tough, and can only be killed through decapitation, cryogenic freezing, or other extreme means. As it turns out, he's partly right. The killer is able to survive multiple gunshots, because he's wearing a bullet-proof vest.

She lives in the middle of nowhere, and locks and sets an alarm on her gate before locking and setting the alarm for her house. In the end, she leaves her gate open behind her, and doesn't set the alarm for her house. When the wind blows the door open, she looks at it and walks away.

(with a definitive emphasis of rage on that last word), while bursting in and stabbing him in the back.

comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: Wallace says, "ten more murders and we can publish a calendar". There have been three murders already (Christine, Cotton, and Sarah), so it would be nine more murders. Wes Craven acknowledges this in the DVD commentary. Other Math fails include Angelina saying "Two people are dead" to Tom (again, three people died; excluding Christine due to the killer's pattern of killing in the order they die in Stab 3 does not apply here either, as Angelina is making a moral stance about the crisis in general, not the killer's pattern.). Upon revealing himself to Sidney, Roman says that he met and was turned away by their mother four years ago. If the movie takes place in 2000 , then that would place that at around 1996, the time of the first films events, when Maureen has already been dead for a year.

Red Herring

comment
Red Herring: After Ghostface detonates Jennifer's house, Angelina notably disappears and only reappears after Ghostface disappears, something the other survivors acknowledge. Later, Sidney finds her holding the Ghostface costume in a bathrooom stall. In addition, she once again disappears before Ghostface attacks Sidney on the set. However, in an earlier script, Angelina indeed was one of the killers. Milton also becomes a red herring due to his past affiliation with Maureen Prescott. Detective Kincaid is implied a number of times to be the killer. After Ghostface manages to find Sidney's location and harass Sidney on the phone, it is implied that Ghostface found Sidney's phone number through Dewey's phone, which Kincaid borrowed on one occasion. Furthermore, Sidney later discovers that Kincaid kept a suspiciously in-depth file on her. To make matters worse, Kincaid leaves the police station right before Ghostface attacks the other characters in the mansion and makes a dubious reappearance after Ghostface disappears from Sidney's sight. Kincaid's partner Detective Wallace is also this. Since the previous films had a Big Bad Duumvirate, it is natural to assume that if Kincaid is Ghostface, then his associate is very likely the second Ghostface. During the third act, Sidney find it suspicious when Kincaid shows up at Milton's mansion without Wallace in tow. Downplayed in the case of Jennifer. The film hints that Ghostface got Sidney's number through Dewey's phone, and Jennifer was one of the few characters who borrowed Dewey's phone before Ghostface called Sidney's number.

comment
Hate Sink: Sidney's half-brother Roman Bridger, the killer of this film, is ultimately shown to be a self-entitled Psychopathic Manchild who directly or indirectly orchestrated the killing sprees of the first three movies. His reasoning to do so is because Maureen rejected him for being a Child by Rape and a reminder of her trauma. After Sidney survives two killing sprees, at the expense of nearly having her life ruined by them, Roman goes on a final one in a bid for revenge, because he thinks he is owed Sidney's fame and life. At face value, John Milton appears to be a representation of Horrible Hollywood. Then it's revealed that he participated in Maureen Roberts' gang-rape, traumatizing her into promiscuous behavior. The gang-rape also resulted in Roman Bridger, making Milton indirectly responsible for all the events in the series. This marks him as one of the few Asshole Victims in the films.

Deconstructed Character Archetype: This film really hits the deconstruction of the Final Girl character. Traumatized by killers constantly trying to kill her and successfully killing the people around her, Sidney is now living as a slightly paranoid recluse, and is still plagued by nightmares. At one point while visiting the set of Stab 3, she finds herself in a recreation of her bedroom from the first movie. The memories overwhelm her, and she swiftly breaks down. For a real final girl, the horror wouldn't end with the credits.

Rich Sibling, Poor Sibling

comment
Rich Sibling, Poor Sibling: Roman sees this as having occurred between him and his half-sister Sidney, which is why he stalked her, encouraged Billy and Stu's killing spree, and went on one of his own, because he was a Child by Rape who was given up to the foster system and rejected by Maureen, his and Sidney's mother. It's a case of an Informed Attribute and Informed Poverty, as Roman is a successful film director in the present. Sidney, meanwhile, doesn't actually seem to be very wealthy.

Died on Their Birthday

comment
Died on Their Birthday: The movie's climax takes place at Roman's birthday party at John Milton's mansion. Played around with. After everyone at the party splits up to look for secret passageways, Roman uses this moment to first fake his own death (Gale finds him in a trunk with a large knife sticking out of his stomach) before later revealing himself to be the Ghostface killer and explaining his motives to Sidney. The two of them fight, and in the end, Sidney stabs Roman in the back, twice, with an icepick. Roman ultimately dies from these injuries but not before sharing a sibling moment with his half-sister, Sidney, who takes some sympathy on him.

Earn Your Happy Ending: With the death of Roman, who orchestrated the events of the first movie and by extension, the second, Sidney is now able to live happily and without fear, and to finally properly heal. At least until ten years later.

Series Fauxnale: This film was meant to be the concluding chapter of a trilogy. Instead, a fourth film was released eleven years later followed by a fifth and a sixth.

Theme Naming

comment
Theme Naming: A number of characters (Angelina Tyler, Jennifer Jolie, Tom Prinze) are named after real-life actors. Fitting, since the characters are actors themselves, and in Jennifer's case it's actually a stage name.
