Scary Movie 

NO MERCY. NO SHAME. NO SEQUEL.

High school teens accidentally hit a stranger with their car; some time later, a murderer strikes at their school.

This horror spoof looked to Airplane! (1980) for ideas, but came up empty. The comedy is so lowbrow it’s hard to fathom anyone older than high-school teens writing the jokes. Worth a smile or two at times, some of the cast members are amusing, but the lion’s share of it is just stupid.

Virtually a remake of Scream (1996), which comes across as particularly lazy.


2000-U.S. 88 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Screenplay: Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer. Cast: Jon Abrahams (Bobby Prinze), Carmen Electra (Drew Decker), Shannon Elizabeth (Buffy Gilmore), Anna Faris, Kurt Fuller, Regina Hall. Cameo: James Van Der Beek. 

Trivia: The original working title for Scream was Scary Movie. Followed by four sequels, starting with Scary Movie 2 (2001).
