Scream 3 is one of the casualties of Columbine: It's markedly less gory than its predecessors, no doubt because Miramax/Dimension (i.e., Disney) got cold feet in the wake of the national debate about movie violence.

Scream 3: (Marco Beltrami) Two years after the Varèse Sarabande label released both the Scream and Scream 2 scores on one short, single CD, fans of Beltrami's music for the Scream series greatly anticipated a longer score CD from the third and final installment.

 Scream 3 (2000): Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Parker Posey - PopMatters Film Review
Scream 3 is more of the same, only the movie references and analyses are made literal.
She actually comes late to the action, for since Scream 2 and college, she's been hiding out in the hills, working as a women's crisis counselor, over the phone, and working hard to remain removed from anyone she's ever known (except her perennially ineffectual dad, who comes by to tell her she's too isolated).

 "Scream 3" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
The gore is not as bad as in the prior movies (Scream or Scream 2), but the violence is still high.
Face it, the second "Scream" was the worst, but this one's a close runner-up; one character who died last time is conveniently resurrected rather pointlessly, too many new characters that just get in the way, a contrived, illogical ending that comes out of nowhere for the pure sake of coming out of nowhere.
The first "Scream" was a thrilling and original masterpiece of its genre, but it should have quit while it was ahead.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Scream 3 (2000)
But lightning struck twice, as "Scream 2," with most of the same cast and crew, was released exactly one year later, in 1997, and set new box-office records on opening weekend.
And, in its own way, "Scream 3" is a groundbreaking motion picture itself--a second sequel that has somehow accomplished the daunting task of being every bit as fresh and thoroughly gratifying as the now-classic film that started it all.
Whereas any old second sequel to a slasher franchise would be more than showing its age by now, "Scream 3" is that rare case in which it is not merely here to cash in on the big bucks, but was all along planned as a trilogy.

 SPLICEDwire | "Scream 3" review (2000)
The only thing that made "Scream" special in the first place was the writer's dark, self-aware wit regarding the conventions of the cheesy teen horror genre.
In "3," the gimmick is dead on arrival and the killer is apparently a Rich Little wannabe, as he spends most of the movie calling minor characters on their cell phones and imitating the voices of major characters to lure them into certain death down unlit hallways.
Hired to write the "Scream 3" script probably based on his propensity toward twist endings, Ehren Kruger ("Arlington Road" and the upcoming "Reindeer Games") doesn't deliver.
