Rent & Buy
A familiar-looking group of teenagers find themselves being stalked by a more-than-vaguely recognizable masked killer! As the victims begin to pile up and the laughs pile on, none of your favorite scary movies escape the razor-sharp satire of this outrageously funny parody!
What critics thought
Critics were split roughly down the middle on the Wayans brothers' horror spoof: some found its shameless, anything-goes crudity genuinely funny, while others felt the gross-out gags substituted shock for wit and the jokes arrived already exhausted. Even admirers tended to note it was less groundbreaking than the genre spoofs it was imitating.
“practically guaranteed to make you laugh until you're ashamed of yourself”
Joe Leydon·Variety
“annoying less for their vulgarity than for their tiredness”
A.O. Scott·The New York Times
“Scary Movie has a nasty side to it that negates much of the humour. Many jokes are just plain sexist, racist, homophobic, violent... and not funny.”
Peter Howell·The Toronto Star
