Neve Campbell returns along with Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Roger Jackson as the voice of Ghostface. Patrick Dempsey joins them along with Scott Foley, Lance Henriksen, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer, Parker Posey, Deon Richmond, Patrick Warburton, and Liev Schreiber as Cotton Weary.

The film sports a 40% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: Despite some surprising twists, Scream 3 sees the franchise falling back on the same old horror formulas and cliches it once hacked and slashed with postmodern abandon.

Cameos include Jamie Kennedy as Randy, Heather Matarazzo as Martha, and Carrie Fisher. Jay Mewes and Kevin Smith also cameo as Jay and Silent Bob.
