Scary Movie
Details

Making fun of the most familiar faces in horror cinema has become a tradition in itself over the years. As the architects of this tradition, the Wayans brothers revive the spirit of the series they started in the early 2000s and invite the viewer into a familiar but not so crazy universe. Directed by Michael Tiddes, this new production stays true to the essence of the series while combining both a sense of nostalgia and contemporary pop culture references. While the reunion of Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans is a warm encounter for the old audience, the fact that Anna Faris and Decina Hall are also in the cast makes this union even stronger. Considering that the concept of "reboot" in the franchise world can be disappointing from time to time, the return of the original cast leaves an intriguing question mark: does it really work this time? The film's atmosphere is built entirely on deliberate chaos. The clichés of slasher films, the absurd logic of survival films, and the unchanging formulas of the horror genre become targets here. The scenes, infused with a slapstick comedy style, captivate the audience with both the pleasure of recognizing familiar moments and unexpected one-liners. There is a fine balance involved in such productions: in order for a parody to work, it is necessary to know the material it mocks well; the Wayans family has known this equation for many years. This journey, compressed into ninety-five minutes, is not for those seeking profound messages or existential questions. But seeing the characters who have been in the memories come to life again reminds us once again how permanent a form of entertainment it is to mock the seriousness of the horror genre. This production, which feels more like a dating ritual than a cinema experience, maybe stands in a controversial place with a score of 5.8; but no matter which way you look at it, it manages to arouse something in the audience. Smile, raise an eyebrow, or both? To understand this, all you need to do is sit on the couch.

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 ...

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.
