Rules of a Trilogy
“You’ve got a killer who’s going to be superhuman. Stabbing him won’t work. Shooting him won’t work. Basically, in the third one, you have to cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up. Anyone, including the main character, can die. This means you, Sid. I’m sorry. It’s the final chapter. It could be fucking Reservoir Dogs by the time this thing is through. The past will come back to bite you in the ass. Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it. The past is not at rest. Any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you.” – Randy Meeks
Plot Overview
Three years after the horrors of Scream 2, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has retreated into isolation, seeking safety and anonymity after surviving two brutal encounters with Ghostface. Living off the grid, Sidney believes she’s left her nightmare behind—but a new chapter of terror is about to unfold.
In Hollywood, the cast of Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro—the latest installment in the meta-horror franchise inspired by Sidney’s life—is being targeted by a killer donning the infamous Ghostface mask. As the murders escalate, Sidney is forced out of hiding and drawn to the chaotic heart of the film industry to confront the darkness that refuses to let her go.
Joining her are familiar faces, including Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette), who find themselves navigating a deadly web of secrets and lies. On the set of Stab 3, where fiction and reality blur, everyone is a potential victim—or a suspect.
In Hollywood, everyone is acting. But Ghostface is dead serious.
