Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, Shorty, Ray, Cindy and Brenda find themselves targeted by another mad slasher.

Critics Consensus

Taking a stab at modern horror movies and missing more than it cuts, Scary Movie's self-referential callbacks and tired gags make for a stunted return to what was already a hit-or-miss franchise.

Audience Says

Laden with nostalgia and OG ribaldry, Scary Movie delivers stupid, good fun that’s appropriately inappropriate.

The gentrification of genre is a real and consequential development, and yet the prevailing feeling watching the latest Scary Movie is of vague disinterest, and also narrowly missed opportunities.

The new “Scary Movie” is stuck somewhere between then and now, with one foot in the early-millennial absurdism that spawned the series’ most beloved gags, and the other planted way too firmly in quote-unquote edgy humor.

We laugh because we’re defeated. That requires more effort than Scary Movie is usually willing to expend, but every once in a while, it gets there.

The rise of horror, along with the strange reality we live in, allows this film to land more comedic successes than misses.

1.5/5

This was a lazy, dated, and unoriginal. It leans heavily on the formula that made the original movies work but this one had no imagination. The jokes feel like a checklist of, what’s the latest meme, rather than a thoughtfully crafted satire.

A kind of flattening effect is quickly achieved where the relatively more inspired horror parodies are sandwiched between edgy jokes at the expense of the soy and the woke.

Blatant, repetitive mockeries/blasphemies against the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I understand the real reason why they didn't give away much in the trailers.

funny movie, but some of the scenes went on a little long. Also the nostalgia bait was hit or miss. Hoping for a little more in the next one

As long as you understand what you’re about to watch, it is fantastic. The Easter eggs throughout the movie are nostalgic and refreshing. Again, as long as you know the movie premise and humor that you’re about to enjoy, highly recommend. lol.
