In an attempt to bring new life to the series Scream gets a reboot in Season 3 (or Resurrection), and it doesn’t work. The story follows 5 high school students who are stalked by a mysterious killer at Halloween. The cast is weak and give rather poor performances playing blatant stereotypes; the jock, the brain, the activist, etc. Also, the writing isn’t very good; especially when it tries to do the meta, post-modern deconstruction riffs that the films did so well. And, aside from the Ghostface mask, there are no connections to the films, or to the previous seasons of the television series for that matter. Incredibly disappointing, Season 3 of Scream killed the franchise rather than revive it (being dumped by both MTV and The Weinstein Company).
