That could be the problem. It feels like the filmmakers try to instill in the viewer the belief that it is something more than a slasher sequel. Scream 3 is too serious for its own good. On DVD, Scream 3 sports a pretty striking anamorphic transfer. Colors and flesh tones are rendered faithfully with no bleed or other interference.
Black level is incredibly strong but never too dark, and shadow detailing is also nice.
I did notice a few problems with the transfer in some of the scenes where there is fog or haze present - you see a bit of digital compression artifacting. I can't express to you how happy I am that Buena Vista is now seemingly committed to anamorphic enhancement. It truly does make a difference in their product. On the audio side of things, we get a nice, immersive Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. The sound field is active, with a very strong and well defined bass response.
