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.

It's a pleasant reunion of former schoolmates for a few minutes, charming at times and occasionally funny, but ultimately unable to make us feel like we've truly relived those years. [Full review in Spanish]

As limp and wearisome as any other lame-o Scary Movie.

It had its funny moments, basically what you’d expect out of the Scary movie series.

Laughed my ass off. Don’t know how people were saying the humor was dry. Many parts of it were disorganized and had no purpose, but a fun watch.

this wasn’t my favorite scary movie, but in terms of nostalgia factor and the callbacks it definitely delivered. Where the film struggles is finding its footing with the jokes. it’s 2026 so trying to do a parody movie in this day in age is increasingly difficult. So a lot of hit and miss jokes, but overall, if you’re a huge fan of scary movie and you grew up with them, I would recommend it. For the folks that are just seeing the franchise for the first time I wouldn’t blame you for not being totally into it.
