“Scary Movie” is sick, vulgar, offensive and unfunny. It is meant to be a spoof of slasher movies but as far as the spoofing goes, it picks the wrong movie for its main point of reference. It unwisely chooses “Scream”, which itself is a parody of slasher movies. What’s next “Sci-Fi Movie” with a heavy emphasis on “Spaceballs”?

In “Scary Movie”, someone is going around and killing off a whole bunch of teenagers. Other than that, the plot is just non-existent. It is just a bunch of awful gags about drugs, homosexuality, bodily fluids, abuse, sex, violence, movies and race.

The film was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans so some of the other Wayans family join in as we see Marlon and Shawn Wayans. This is the family that brought people many other unsuccessful comedies such as “White Chicks” and “Little Man”. It’s a shame too because there was a time when they were funny. The killer in the film is the closest thing we have to a funny character here as the various parts where his mask changes when he’s abusing drugs are by far the most amusing part of the film. This is proof of just how bad this picture is. The other people in the film are poor but then again, with this quality of material, you couldn’t get anybody to be good.

The film might be tolerable if it just stuck to making fun of horror films but instead, we get so many terrible and distasteful jokes that we cannot possibly find this funny. This is the movie that single-handedly ruined spoof movies because after this, many others found they could make the same film without having to put any effort into whatsoever. “Scary Movie” is somehow grosser and less funny than movies like “Joe Dirt” and “Paul”.
