Cindy finds out the house she lives in is haunted by a little boy and goes on a quest to find out who killed him and why. Also, Alien "Tr-iPods" are invading the world and she has to uncover the secret in order to stop them.
What critics thought
Critics largely found Scary Movie 4 a middling, joke-recycling parody that generates sporadic laughs without earning them. The film scraped by on a few clever gags, but most reviewers felt the franchise's formula had worn thin, leaving more groans than genuine comedy.
“Scary Movie 4 never takes you close to death by laughter [...] it's funny enough to turn the hands on your watch much more quickly than you can believe.”
Stephen Hunter·The Washington Post
“organized on the principle of parody, not plot, [...] it's an exercise in lowbrow postmodernism, a movie-movie contraption more nuts than Charlie Kaufman's gnarliest fever dream. It's cleverly stupid.”
