Not too much diminishing returns for the third film. I do appreciate the genre label of 'Mystery' in addition to 'Horror', as I do find these Scream movies to be more of a 'Who dunnit?' movie than your typical hack-n-slash. As others have mentioned after (re)watching this post #metoo is a bit unnerving now. The meta-callout of shall we say the 'Weinstein Treatment' of actors, most being women, is a tad disturbing for two reasons: One, with Dimension Films at that time a label under a Weinstein-controlled Miramax, Harvey had to have watched this before it was released and rather than seeing the scene about the producer trading sexual favors for work as hideous, it may have normalized it for him giving him some gross justification. Two, the fact that Wes Craven chose to keep this in likely knowing Harvey would see it and the giving insight to the public of how show biz was and no one bats an eye about it, is just sad. Aside from that bit that makes me wince for its implication, the Scream franchise continues to entertain me.
