0:38 Yeah, but I think you were RIGHT to be cynical. “Scream 3” really is a crappy movie. It’s completely unnecessary (the first “Scream” movie really didn’t need any sequels), it has such a boring, lazy, poorly-written, by-the-numbers plot, and it is the exact same cliché thing that it comments on/mocks.

That would have been ruined/gross if Roman had incest fantasies about her.

Same, I was so sad he died! I also really liked that while he could come off as a bit douchy and intimidating in Scream 2, the movie didn't actually vilify him for craving positive media attention

It hit me hard too. Cuz after all that shit he went through, he deserved some fun, fame and a happy life.

I wish more people had that willingness to re-evaluate pieces of art over time, seeing how their life experience and new perspectives could influence another viewing

[@Blast2224]

Despite Roman’s super convoluted motivation for hunting Sid and her friends, you must credit him for being a strong Ghostface in that he manages this all by himself. Sure his reveal was tepid but he really went all out attacking Sid in the movie room. Scream 3 may have been a half comedy, but when Sid was shot, I believed it for a moment that she’d lost. Roman got very close. Even more close than Jill.

[@exequielperez28]

Scream 3's my favorite Sidney Prescott iteration. Neve Campbell's portrayal of a broken Sidney is what carries the movie for me. This whole movie is about trauma, Scream (1996) focuses a lot on Maureen's alleged promiscuity, and this movie comes to tackle that story line. Casting couch destroyed Maureen, and that bled through every decision she ever made moving forward; tried to find some solace in building a family but, the pain of unresolved trauma just wouldn't go away. I guess the humor in this movie was needed to balance the darkness of its themes, and IMO, they made a good job with it. I am happy that the original "Cult of Ghostface" was scrapped for this to come to life, we got the best character development of the franchise ,in Sidney's and Maureen's, thanks to it. Nice ending to the trilogy.

[@ElRulis09]

Yup. Live in Texas, as far back as 2002 when I was in first grade we had simulated lockdowns called Code Blue to get us ready for potential school shootings. We'd barricade ourselves in a corner of the room, the teacher would lock the door turn off the lights and stay off to the side. And we would stay in silence for 30 minutes while designated teachers came to bang on our doors and try to scare us. I remember the first time it happened some classmates cried. By highschool it would be time off to be on our phones and we were already used to it, around the time of Sandy Hook. I graduated hs in 2013. Now we're desensitized and even make movies about school shootings featuring gratuitous violence. I worry for the next generation.

I think it really makes sense that James loves Scream 3. The Kill Count series started off as exactly what it sounds like, counting kills, but much like the Scream series, it evolved over time and started to focus more on the BTS and meta aspect of horror. It shows growth on James' and the Kill Count staffs' part. Oh and also James if you get this far, go Green >:)

[@CountryLuver001]

The fact Scream 3 is basically a whole expose on Harvey Weinstein AND is the first Scream movie I ever watched, gives this film a special place in my heart. I also love that Scream 3 continued the tradition of introducing a character we love (Jennifer) that sadly dies.

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Scream 3’s Sidney arc is actually fitting and Neve gave her best performance imo. Sidney’s living in self-imposed exile and isolation is what they did with Laurie Strode in Halloween 2018 or Luke in The Last Jedi before the 'hero went into exile after a traumatic event' trope went cool. Also if you rewatch Scream 2, there are many hints of Sidney taking 'being alone' as a solution which really paved the way to her isolation in Scream 3, so narrative-wise, Sidney's action in living in isolation not only makes sense and is in-character, but was also set up directly in 2, this shows great continuity and the ability of filmmakers able to pull off a consistent character arc across films. And Scream 3 finally wrapped up her arc by her leaving her door open, and moving on. A beautiful end note of the greatest final girl in the original trilogy, which Scream 5 picked up on greatly by confirming she married and formed a family with Mark Kincaid.

[@nisabizahaloni101]

I need to rewatch this and maybe the whole series because I think I missed that Kincaid thing in it

[@decusq]

I know this is a bad take but i honestly like the reveal of Roman being the killer at the end and Sydney's half brother and how it ties into the dark message of Hollywood. Roman works as the killer because he's manipulative, he knows the movie sets and the tricks of the trade to pull this off even by himself. Plus when it comes to encapsulating the core of a Ghost face the core is Jealousy. Which after Roman's kill count becomes the driving force with the "Fan Killers" of the next Scream films. A lot of people compare Scream 3 to a Telenovela in terms of writing but honestly i think that's what makes the film work. Over the top drama that you wouldn't see anywhere else makes this film work. Plus i loved Sydney's final battle with Roman at the end where she confronts him on all his jealousy bullcrap issues with her. She didn't need to meet him because to her all the Ghost Faces are the same Jealousy bull crap she's been dealing with since Billy and Stu tried to kill her.

Convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old, he fled to France in the 70s and had just been given a lifetime achievement award by the Academy, even though he couldn't legally step on American soil to accept it.

Depends what you mean by annoying, I don't think he's annoying as Ghostface or in his reveal scene. As a director, before the reveal, maybe not annoying but you definitely aren't meant to have respect or sympathy for him. People are dead and his takeaway is "Someone is trying to ruin MY movie". If he's not meant to be seen as short-sighted and selfish that is ABYSMAL writing

[@lucasmcclanahan702]

I just wanna point out that scream three is set in Hollywood where movies are made obviously. I have a feeling Roman had the sfx department make him a full body double. How well the effects would have been back then? Idk but I always thought of it that way when I came to his fake death.

I still can't believe James frontloaded all these Scream recounts to, as we say in Swiftieville, "keep us fed." You didn't need to, but we thank you and hope your father is doing well.

[@erikbjelke4411]

Reposted from previous Kill Count: I really liked how, despite Randy's assertions the killer would be supernatural, the series remained grounded and realistic (for a slasher film series, at any rate), yet they still managed to incorporate seemingly supernatural elements. Sidney's dreams and "visions" about her mother make perfect sense once this stuff starts getting stirred up, what with her PTSD, and especially with Roman guiding her towards things like the "Maureen Murder Flashback" set that will be triggers for her. Bulletproof vests let Roman (and Sidney) be more durable than a human should otherwise be, evoking certain unstoppable killers. The ornate ice pick Sidney uses brings to mind any number of magic daggers from assorted classic horror films, and the final shot of it sticking out of Roman's chest is evocative of the classic stake in the heart of a vampire. And finally, of course, Roman only dies for real when Dewey shoots him in the head.

I actually think this movie helped me figure out what I've always felt was missing from the newer Scream movies: slapstick. There is a lot of slapstick in the first three, but especially this one where it's not just limited to Ghostface. From what I recall, 4 and 5 don't smack their villains around nearly as much (with the exception of Jill's self beat-down, I suppose)

[@daithvader]

22:07 gave off the same vibes as “I’m Lawrence Gordon, I’m a doctor.”

[@BoyWonderr513]

I think the fact that Sydney kills Roman with a ice pick is vastly overlooked. Randy literally talks about Basic Instinct and that a female uses an Ice Pick in the original Scream. It's such a specific thing that I doubt it's a coincidence. I think it's a great fan callback from Wes or at least someone involved

[@cheezkid2689]

James has grown so much as a person and as a content creator since the channel started, and I've been here for a very long time, so it's hard to express just how much I love this channel and how much I love seeing James do progressively cooler and cooler things, from just counting kills and cracking jokes to deep dives into the creation and history of a film, where kills are only a small part of it, as well as hosting podcasts with big names like Howie Mandel and interviewing WWE superstars.

[@nickyoung9419]

Freaking love this dude. Even if it is the same kill count his commentary is amazing

[@TheTr1x._.]

In my opinion, if Roman and Sydney had known and met each other beforehand, the Ghostface reveal would have been more impactful (also if Roman got more screen time). And instead of pursuing Sydney, he pursued John Milton in full for what he did to Maureen Prescott, by destroying the film's chances of commercial success by killing off Milton and the rest of the crew. The Director role would have allowed him to move his plan into motion. Also, in my version, Roman didn't "direct" Stu and Billy to murder Maureen, because that wouldn't make sense.

[@ethan6581_]

Scream 3 is one of my favorites in the franchise, it's nowhere near bad, all the Scream films are great, but I think as far as Sidney's arc goes, 3 ends it in a nice way to where if this was the final film, it would be a pretty satisfying trilogy. Understandable why it's usually considered the weakest though, but as far as most slasher franchises go, Scream doesn't have a "worst" one

[@Lanetgm]

More like a least favorite one

[@WinterRose4444]

While 3 isn't my favorite, I absolutely love the ending. It hits all the right beats for me. The music, and the way it swells at just the right moments. Sidney finally free to live her life and no longer be afraid (at least if this had truly been the end). Dewey proposing to Gale (David and Courteney played that scene perfectly). After everything the OG3 had gone through, it was nice to think they'd finally all get a happy ending.

[@handev2604]

“Scream 3” is a crappy movie. It’s completely unnecessary (the first “Scream” movie really didn’t need any sequels), it has such a boring, lazy, poorly-written, by-the-numbers plot, and it is the exact same cliché thing that it comments on/mocks.

[@ethan6581_]

@@handev2604 Scream 3 definitely isn't some Masterpiece and isn't Flawless just like all of them, although the original scream is definitely the best, and will always remain the best, I still think the sequels are pretty solid even if they aren't as good as the original
