It is always hard to recommend a movie that if I wasn’t waiting for a specific scene, I would have closed it less than 30 minutes in. This is not a movie for the sake of entertainment. This feels more like a statement, a reunion, and a satire. The first few minutes of the movie is just funny enough to makes you think that the Wayans brothers are now for sell, and they are making a sequel just like Scary Movie 3 to 5. The rest of the movie utilized forced modern cliche, nostalgia ploy that makes no sense if you have seen the original, forced meta, forced political and social commentary, and a forced sequel. The Wayans brothers basically blows up every tricks in the book, and it just makes you cringe. Then the ending happened. That’s when it hit, well, they sort of said it out loud, but still. They are not here to parody the horror genre, they are here to parody Scary Movie and the movie industry as a whole, and to say “they are back”. The Wayans brothers used the whole movie, as a blown up cliche on the current movie franchises and the direction they are heading. And I have to hand it to them, it worked. It satirize the idea that a franchise needs to “pass the torch” when the curren

If you're a fan of the "Halloween", "I Know What you Did..." and "Scream" franchises, then you'll probably appreciate many of the parodies here - as well as it's comic critique on some of their more repetitious production techniques, as we watch "Ghostface" going on the rampage again. Marlon and Shawn Wayans act as the anchors as the story moves along quickly for a ninety minutes that pokes fun at the formulaic predictability of so many of the horror film genres; of the racist and sexist tropes that feature all too often and of the almost "Scooby Do" nature of the supernatural that usually confers the culprit(s) with a degree of invincibility and immortality. There are a few chuckle moments, but it's trying to do too much in too short a time and I didn't feel either Wayans nor Anna Faris's "Cindy" really shine. Dave Sheridan's "Doofy" is just plain annoying and though the writing is often quite clever, the assembled cast just don't really do enough with the premiss. It's not boring, and there's a fun skit on "Sinners" (2025) towards the end which I quite liked, but the remainder of this is short on scares and very long on dialogue.

Going in, based on everything I read, I didn't expect this to be funny. And indeed outside a couple weak chuckles, it wasn't. What was most surprising I guess was just how damn dull it was to the point I went on my computer to get some things done while this played (within eyesight). The most positive thing I can say is at least the production value was better than Scary Movie 5 which was all kinds of different bad (like the Friedberg/Seltzser crap). Even the jokes that were supposed to be offensive were quite safe. Not even the reunion of Ana Faris and Regina Hall could even come close to make this even watchable. I will say I do have a crush on Ruby Snowber now... **1.25/5**
