When the best performance in your movie is by Jenny McCarthy, you know something has gone horribly w rong. "Scream 3" (rated R tor vulgarity and violence) is sup posedly the final chapter of a trilogy, and most tans ot the darkly comedic series will be disappointed with how things pan out tor Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and friends. The idea of a self-aware horror movie has grown stale, as has our t roupe ot potent ial victims. The fir st problem is t hat Kevin W illiamson, t he guy credited with resurrecting the horror genre with the first "Scream" screenplay, did not write "Scream 3." Gone is the biting dialogue that made the previous "Screams" so effective. Though Williamson's other projects have mostly been fai lures ('Teaching Mrs. Tingle," "The Faculty"), his name belongs on a "Scream" film. Instead, we get Ehren Krueger, a screenwriter with a gift tor intricate plotting, but a proverbial tin ear for dia logue (see Mark Pellington's "Arlington Road"). Very tew ot the j okes here work, and even fewer ot the "serious" scenes gel. Fortunately, he cooks up some of the t rilogy's best action/horror setpieces. Krueger's plot certainly had potent ial; the ghost-faced murderer reemerges on the set ot "Stab 3," another Hollywood attempt to cash in on the "true story" ot the original film's Woodsboro murders. Naturally, t his pro vokes our three heroes from the previous films to jaunt otf to Hollywood to t r y to put a stop to the murders again. Since "Scr eam 2," Sidney has gone into hiding and Luckily, this third installment is still guided by director TOP: Courtney Cox Arquette and Parker Posey, two surefire con changed her name, Dewey (David Arquette) has become Wes Craven, who manages to keep our attent ion.

The three leads seem to be sleep screenplay pages to Dewey and company that describe walking through this film, and Krueger's script gives them what is actually happening to them. The only hitch is that some awful lines to read on top ot it.

The gling actress who wonders why she is doomed to per queen ot independent film, Pa rker Posey ("Par ty Girl," forming in low rent horror fi lms where her character is "The House of Yes"), is way over-the-top as the actress always naked.

I wouldn't dream of telling you it our hero gets killed, "Scream 3" but I will tell you that a dark secret is revealed. However, Dimension Films it 's not anything that we could have anticipated after watching the fi rst two films. As with all of these films, the ** ending will mostly just make you angr y.
