If you copy something, then copy the copy and then copy it again, the quality is going to certainly suffer. In the third installment they sort of seem to know this and try to compensate by spoofing the original somewhat and by going all 'post-modern'. It was a really stupid decision but what else would you expect from people who describe the Scream films as 'Neo-slasher'. It was straight to video quality with a cinema release. You won't scream in terror, nor will you scream in laughter, you'll scream at the screen due to the lack of quality. At this stage there wasn't much difference between this franchise and the Scary Movie franchise, the original becomes the laughingstock.
