Scary Movie

I am so disappointed. This piece of trashis unwatchable. Just a cacophony of loosely tied bits, gags, throwbacks to old movies just to cashgrab this one. This vaguely resembles a movie in it's form, not like the first three Scary Movies (the OG ones). It's a shame. A damn shame. It's Epic/Disaster/Date Movie or Meet the Spartans all over again. This makes Superhero Movie look like Citizen Kane.

If you're a fan of the "Halloween", "I Know What you Did..." and "Scream" franchises, then you'll probably appreciate many of the parodies here - as well as it's comic critique on some of their more repetitious production techniques, as we watch "Ghostface" going on the rampage again. Marlon and Shawn Wayans act as the anchors as the story moves along quickly for a ninety minutes that pokes fun at the formulaic predictability of so many of the horror film genres; of the racist and sexist tropes that feature all too often and of the almost "Scooby Do" nature of the supernatural that usually confers the culprit(s) with a degree of invincibility and immortality. There are a few chuckle moments, but it's trying to do too much in too short a time and I didn't feel either Wayans nor Anna Faris's "Cindy" really shine. Dave Sheridan's "Doofy" is just plain annoying and though the writing is often quite clever, the assembled cast just don't really do enough with the premiss. It's not boring, and there's a fun skit on "Sinners" (2025) towards the end which I quite liked, but the remainder of this is short on scares and very long on dialogue.

1/10 stars rating. A total drop. Its not funny and the whole story line is trying so hard to imitates the originals .. but sadly even as a parody movie its just so boring and gross that cant even get pass half an hour of the movie time. There is not even a single moment where the punch line is originaly funny and yeah just waste of time. Its definitely a total drop.

It's interesting that Scream 7 came out the same year as this movie. Both are very tired franchises that have been retreading the same ground for a long time. However, Scream 7 still manages to be engaging, at least up to a point. This movie does not manage to be funny. A horror movie has to be scary, and Scream manages that adequately. A comedy has to be funny, and scary movie does not attain that. These are jokes meant for an earlier audience that try to be offensive in the same way that worked more than two decades ago. And it simply does not land. It is boring, incoherent, and disjointed. It is best to be avoided.
