Review of Scary Movie (2000) by Kai82 — 06 Jan 2020
The movie we thought would revitalize the spoof movie genre. We were so wrong. For itself it is a good spoof movie but also the reason many awful spoof movies were created. Each sequel got worse and worse.
With 5 movies this is an achievement that I don't think I can archive willingly (Maybe I am exaggerating because I am incompetent in movie making, but not as much as it should be). But back to this movie: It is a parody of different horror movies, mainly Scream with side jokes for Blair Witch Project, Sixth Sense, American Pie, Matrix and more.
The humor / jokes in the movie work really well and play with the stupidity, stereotypes and tropes of Horror Movies. For me >90% of all jokes are funny. The Actors are well chosen for their roles and deliver the stereotypes and their jokes very well.
I don't think I should rate the story for itself in a spoof movie that can completely tracked to another movie. I will rate the humor and creativity instead which is a win for this movie. Overall a movie worth watching but not in the Top 10 for spoof movies.
Special warning! Like I said each sequel got worse. Stay away as far as possible from the Sequels especially from 4 and 5.
