 Story:
Cotton Weary, now living in Los Angeles and the host of a nationally syndicated television show, 100% Cotton, is called by Ghostface who demands the whereabouts of Sidney Prescott who has gone into seclusion since the events of Scream 2. He refuses and both Cotton and his girlfriend Christine are murdered.

Detective Mark Kincaid meets with Gale Weathers to discuss the murders prompting her to travel to Hollywood, where she finds Dewey Riley working as an advisor on the set of Stab 3, the third film in the film within a film series based on the Ghostface murders. After Ghostface kills Stab 3 actress Sarah Darling with the help of a voice changer that can perfectly mimic various voices. Sidney is now living reclusively as a crisis counselor for an abused women's hotline, as she is terrified that another killer may strike. The killer begins taunting Sidney by phone, having discovered her phone number, forcing her out of hiding and drawing her to Hollywood. As the remaining Stab 3 cast gather at the home of Jennifer Jolie, Ghostface kills her bodyguard Steven Stone and uses a gas-leak to cause an explosion, killing fellow actor Tom Prinze.

Dewey, Gale, Jennifer and the remaining "Stab 3" actors Angelina Tyler and Tyson Fox attend a birthday party for the director Roman Bridger where Ghostface strikes. Roman, Angelina, Tyson and Jennifer are killed and Ghostface orders Sidney to the mansion to save Gale and Dewey's lives, as they are tied up. Sidney is forced to remove her firearm, and detective Kincaid gives her his gun, which she uses to shoot the killer. Sidney flees and hides in a secret screening room where she discovers Ghostface.

He reveals himself as Roman, having faked his death and survived being shot due to a bullet proof vest. Roman admits to being Sidney's half-brother, born to their mother Maureen Prescott when she was an actress in Hollywood. Roman details how, upon finding Maureen, she rejected him and he took his revenge by convincing Billy Loomis to kill her, sparking the events of Scream and Scream 2. However, when he discovered how much fame Sidney got because of those events, Roman snapped and lured Sidney out of hiding. Sidney and Roman fight and Sidney fatally stabs Roman. Dewey and Gale arrive and Roman jumps to his feet. He is stunned by gunfire from Dewey. Sidney informs Dewey that Roman is wearing a bulletproof vest. Dewey kills Roman with a shot to the forehead. In the aftermath of the murders, Dewey asks Gale for her hand in marriage, which she accepts, and they settle down to watch a film, accompanied by Sidney and Detective Kincaid. As Sidney goes to join the others, a door behind her opens, but she walks away leaving it as is, finally confident that the murders have ended and that she is now safe.

This is supposed to be the finale for this horror trilogy if Scream 4 did not appear in 2011. The last trilogy is actually having the standard of the first movie as we managed to know what really happened to Sidney Prescott's mother and who is the guy who is behind all this... The most interesting part is we know that why the copy cat killer appear and how... A great classic horror movie :)
