Part of

Scary Movie Collection

Scary Movie is a 2000 horror comedy spoof film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. It is an American dark comedy that heavily parodies the horror, slasher, and mystery genres. Several mid- and late-90s films and TV shows are spoofed, especially Scream, along with I Know What You Did Last Summer, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and Dawson's Creek. Scary Movie was followed by five sequels: Scary Movie 2 (2001), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Scary Movie 4 (2006), Scary Movie 5 (2013), and Scary Movie 6 (2026). Its title serves as an homage to the production title of Scream, which was also released through Dimension Films.

Really, really bad. There are some okay jokes but most are just hard to watch. The Evil Dead parody scene was easily my favourite part of the movie, but it just made me want to turn this movie off and go watch Evil Dead.
