All rights reserved.Scary Movie (2000, DVD)
| Movie Description In the tradition of such genre parodies as AIRPLANE!, THE NAKED GUN, and SPACEBALLS, Keenen Ivory Wayans takes on the teen horror flick with SCARY MOVIE, a campy, riotous send-up of everything from the SCREAM and HALLOWEEN franchises to I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, CARRIE, and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. In a small town, a copycat is reenacting the SCREAM murders, and local reporter Gail Hailstorm will do just about anything to get the story. The six high school students who ran over a man on a sharp curve the year before think the killer is out for revenge, but sweet and innocent Cindy Campbell believes that the madman might just lurk a lot closer to home. Cowritten by Shawn and Marlon Wayans (and four others), the script leaves no cliché unturned; in addition to the horror parodies, the film also spoofs such teen sex comedies as AMERICAN PIE and such hit films as THE SIXTH SENSE, THE MATRIX, and FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. The film never lets up in its striking re-creations of classic scenes, and it never passes up the chance for a joke, no matter how crude. The young, attractive cast looks like it just jumped out of DAWSON'S CREEK, playing everything up to the hilt--and beyond.

The $19 million film grossed $42.5 million in its first weekend, the highest opening ever for an R-rated film as of July 2000. Former IN LIVING COLOR star Kelly Coffield makes a cameo appearance in the film. James Van Der Beek makes a cameo appearance in a scene spoofing DAWSON'S CREEK. There is one last lewd joke at the very end for those patient enough to sit through the credits. SCARY MOVIE marks star Anna Faris's feature-film debut. Keenen Ivory Wayans makes a cameo appearance in the movie-theater scene in the trailer preceding SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. Keenen's favorite scary movie is THE EXORCIST. Despite the movie poster proclaiming that there would be no sequel, a follow-up is reportedly in the works.

Top Reviews  The funniest of the franchise so far!!!Review created: 12/06/06(updated 03/02/07) by:  15 of 19 people found this review helpful. The funniest of the franchise so far!!! Scary Movie is original, funny, and doesn't go too far over the top. The cast is great, and the parodies are on the money. The Wayans really did a great job creating a spoof horror film. David Sheridan is great a Doofy, and Anna Faris is hilarious as Cindy Campbell. The Wayans brothers are funny as well and Cheri Oteri is Hilarious as Gail Hailstorm. Carmen Electra and Shannon Elizabeth add some much needed eye candy. Final Verdict: 4/5 Rent or Buy?: If you're a fan of horror films (especially slasher films) you'll love this movie. It get's almost everything right, and even the stuff it doesn't get perfect is still hilarious. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
