Film #40: Scary Movie (2000)


Directed by: Keenen Ivory Wayans


Starring: Anna Faris, Jon Abrahams, Dave Sheridan, Shawn Wayans, Lochlyn Monroe, Shannon Elizabeth, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans


What's your favourite scary movie?

Yes, it's the only good Scary Movie film! The others went crappy and finally spawned their own retarded, inbred lovechild; Epic Movie (I will not italicize it's name because it's not a real movie!). The tag-line makes me laugh though; No Mercy, No Shame, No Sequel. No Sequel my ass!

So, Scary Movie parodies many different horror films, mainly Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and follows Cindy and co as they try to escape from a serial killer that's out to get them. One by one they are killed off until it's only Cindy left.

It's really funny and has a consistent storyline unlike it's sequels that try too much and are not funny at all. The actors are pretty good and portray their characters well; Lochlyn Monroe looks like a jock and so is at home playing Greg and Shawn Wayans has the character of a gay person so plays one well.

I'm sure everyone has seen this film (every teenager at least) and I'm also sure that they will agree that this is the best out of the series. If they think it's any good is a different matter all together.
