Critic's Grade: A+



You thought the terror was over, You thought it was safe to go home, You thought the nightmar was finished. Well guess what? Your right

Remeber Drew Decker (Carmen Electra- TV's Baywatch), she got killed last night. Oh well, she slept around anyway.

For friends Cindy (Anna Faris- Scary Movie 2), the innocent virgin, Ray (Shawn Wayans- TV's The Wayans Brothers) the gay jock, Buffy (Shannon Elizabeth- Thir13en Ghosts) the slutty beauty queen, Bobby (Jon Abrahams- Meet the Parents) the horny boyfriend of Cindy, Brenda (Regina Hall- Love and Basketball) the loud and ghetto sistah, and Greg (Lochlyn Munroe- Duets) the one with the small, well um... package this school year will be a one to die for, literally. Someone knows their secret and this time he wants revenge.

In this spoof of teen horror movies in the last 10 years, the six friends try to learn the idenity of this mysterious killer who has been sending them threatning notes and calling them with threatning messages. They thought the murder of Drew was an accident, but when Greg ends up missing and they learn it's been a year since their deadly accident, they realize someone wants them dead. One by one the friends begin getting killed and it all comes down to a night where partying, sex, murder and more combine. Also on the trail of the killer is Gale Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri- Inspector Gadget), an ambitious reporter who will do anything to get an inside story. And Shorty (Marlon Wayans- Requim for A Dream) a smoker, who gets high every day.
Now with only a few of them left, the group must learn the truth about the killer and how someone knows what they did last friday the 13th.
A hilarious film with a hot young cast, great music, good laughs and just a hilarious movie. The jokes are pretty offensive but you can't help but laugh. The film pokes fun at all the characters from teen horror movies, but adds an extra feature to them. For example in "Scream" a white skinny girl with blonde hair got stuck the hole where the cats come through and ends up getting murdered. In "Scary Movie" there's a fat girl who only is able to fit her head through, and when the garage lifts up she breaks it and breaks down the whole garage. I loved this movie and I was rolling around on the floor. The funniest characters of the film are Cindy, Buffy, Bobby, Brenda and Shorty. Ray has a problem and likes stareing at his football teammates changing in the locker-room.

Other spoofs in the film include a retarded cop, a mean Sheriff, a manish coach, and also the scenary in the teen horror genre. Overall this movie was excellellent and worth watching. The only bad thing about the film was, it was to short but It will have you laughing so hard that you literally will be crying.

Out of a possible 4 stars I give "Scary Movie" 4 stars.
