Scary Movie, the sixth instalment in the horror parody franchise, arrives in theatres this weekend, and the first social media reactions are in.
Overall, critics seem to be mixed on the R-rated comedy, but even those who found the movie "quite awful" admit that there are a few funny moments. Not too surprisingly, it sounds like The Wayans brothers throw everything they can think of at the wall, and some ot it sticks.
The Scary Movies have always been fairly critic-proof, anyway, and if you're a fan of the previous entries, chances are you'll get at least some enjoyment out of this one.
The movie is also said to include some surprise cameos, one of which has leaked online. The scene, which appears to parody the opening kill from Scream 6, features One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor as a New Yorker Ghostface really shouldn't have messed with.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
