When Sidney reveals up at a police station in L.A. after the brand new Ghostface makes his first transfer, the background music is surprisingly whimsical, like one thing out of “E.T.” You’d assume her look could be accompanied by ominous music, as we all know she’s now in simply as a lot hazard as the remainder of the forged. The truth that this second as an alternative performs as joyful signifies precisely how completely different this movie is from the primary two, and why: this isn’t a film about Sidney being hunted down towards her will, however about Sidney making an energetic selection to assist search out the killer herself.

A part of why “Scream 3” is not as scary as the primary two is as a result of, by this level, Sidney’s virtually as a lot of a risk to the killer as he’s to her. She’s realized each lesson there may be to study from the primary two films, so by the point she’s compelled to rescue Dewey and Gale on her personal, she will be able to deal with herself simply tremendous. Just like the killer, Sidney has the foresight to put on a bulletproof vest. In contrast to the killer, she’s good sufficient to convey a second gun along with her, giving Ghostface a false sense of safety when his metallic detector picks up the primary one. 

The obvious instance of Sidney’s progress, in fact, is her closing battle with the killer. All through this entire confrontation, Sidney’s constantly offended and calculating, not scared, and she or he holds her personal absurdly nicely in comparison with anybody else on this collection. Perhaps the perfect second is when she coldly cuts by all of Roman’s excuses, telling him to “take some f***ing duty” earlier than the argument descends into an all-out brawl, one through which Sidney actually holds her personal.
