In the third installment of a famous horror saga, we find Sidney Prescott, who has tried to leave behind the traumatic past that has haunted her since the brutal massacre in Woodsboro. Now living in a quiet hideout, she feels safe, but everything changes when the ghosts of her past return to the big screen. The production of "Stab 3," a movie based on the events of her life, becomes the focal point of a new wave of murders, and Ghostface is back to stalk her, this time on the set.
Filled with unexpected twists and dark humor, the film follows Sidney, accompanied by her longtime friends Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley, as they attempt to unravel the mystery behind the murders that begin to occur chillingly within the world of cinema. As the cast of "Stab 3" becomes entangled in a deadly game, the suspects are many, and trust becomes a rare commodity.
Caught in a sort of movie game, Sidney and her friends must face not only the killer seeking revenge but also their own fears and secrets from the past. With references to pop culture and a metanarrative that examines slasher clichés, this installment ignites suspense and leads viewers to a climax where the truth may be more terrifying than fiction.
