It's Halloween and high school student Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) is cooking popcorn and getting ready to watch a scary movie when she receives a phone call. The man on the end of the phone makes sexual remarks to the disturbed young girl who threatens to call the police. That is before he reveals himself to be outside and kills the young girl ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie is the film that started a whole series, and you'll either love it or hate it. It's basically a comedy horror film that is a parody of well known horror films. It's based on a group of teen Americans who get involved in a horror plot that seems all too familiar. I like this film. I like it because it's so funny, and it's ...  Read the complete review

I completely love spoof films and i always go for comedy films over any other type of film. When i saw the adverts for this film, i couldnt wait to see it as it looked really funny and i went and saw it in the cinema as soon as i could after it was released. If you have never heard of Scary Movie before, it is a spoof horror film that ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie sees director Keenen Ivory Wayans develop a movie which is to poke fun at those horror films of recent times which are to say the least predicable. The film sees a group of teenage friends out driving on Halloween when they hit a man and the group decides to dispose of the body and agree that it must remain secret between just ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Whilst Scary Movie is unassailably crude, crass, and often pretty stupid, I do admire it. It's a lot better than some of the dreadful sequels that followed, and it's also quite clever in a feral sort of way - it lampoons the films with a razor-sharp wit at times, although it's ...  Read the complete review

I really like this film. It's a comedy horror & the first in a series of films. Basically it parodies the film Scream with some other things sent up along the way. The plot centres on a girl called Sindy. She is a typical High School student living a normal life until a series of grissly & horific killings start happening at ...  Read the complete review

This is the very first Scary Movie and I really didn't know what to expect when watching it. At first I wondered if it was a horror film (ironically with the title) but released that it was a comedy. The film was originally released in 2000 and overall I felt that it was well worth a watch. I didn't find it to be really good but it did provide ...  Read the complete review

Scary movie was released on 7th June 2000. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, it starred Anna Faris, Shannon Elizabeth, and Carmen Electra, amongst many others. An estimated $19 million was spent in the creation of this American film, but sadly, I do feel this was not money well spent. Not being an actual 'scary movie' the focus and ...  Read the complete review

This was the first scary movie before they decided to do another 2 or 3 which are no way as good. this is a comedy and parody joke of some of the great horror movies like scream etc. I would rate this as one of the funniest films ive even seen , it sporned the catchphrase wassuppp which was used by every kid and grown up for the next few ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie sounds like a horror movie genre at first but it is in fact a parody of other movies. Overall, i really like it because i like how exagerrated this movie was and it seemed funny to me. *Cast* I like the cast and felt that they were chosen rightly due to the use of their parodies such as Carmen Electra in Baywatch ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really a fan of horror movies at all so I was a bit worried that as this was a spoof horror movie and I have not watched much in the genre some of the in jokes would fly over my head however in the end the humour was so childish that even if there were inside jokes I doubt they would have been that amusing as none of the other humour ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie is a spoof horror movie which certanly has its funny moments as it paradies a host of horror movies. Anna Faris plays Cindy Campbell who is the innocent heroine of this film whch is based in the rather worryingly named Corpse High School where the pupils are being murdered by a masked killer in a series of brutal ...  Read the complete review

What a spoof show this is. This was the first movie in the series and in my eyes it is stil the best. I do not know what it is with films but I feel the first in a series is always the best. When this film first came out it was on the lips of everyone who enjoyed an honest comedy film. The main horror film which this film leans on is scream, which ...  Read the complete review

(Originally posted on Ciao under my Ciao name RazzaLazza) It's an interesting concept to make a parody of a satire, however with 'Scary Movie' this is exactly what has been done, taking the storyline of 'Scream' and turning it into a comedic spoof. Although 'Scream' is the main film parodied here, they've also lifted plot line ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie came along at a time when the whole horror genre was starting to get a bit stale again. Previously it had got hot with the likes of Scream etc making a decent amount of money for little outlay. However this meant that there were lacklustre sequels and with it dwindling interest. That?s when a genre is ripe for parody, sometimes it?s ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie, as you may understand is a parody (piss take - excuse the French) of many common horror movies such as Scream, Scream 2, I Know What You Did Last Summer etc... The entire film is very funny indeed, especially if you've seen most, or all of the horror films that Scary Movie deals with. I would recomend being pretty ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie has opened a new door in the film industry! A good old horror is ok but how much better horror film is when you add hundreads of laughs! Scary Movie takes a number of scenes from many horror movies , the main one being Scream. The director has tried to see if it is possible to get away with a movie which has copied scripts from a ...  Read the complete review

They don't want to go to jail and therefore dump him into the nearest sea. A year later and the six don't talk about the incident. Cindy's ...  Read the complete review

In a single word I would describe this film as crap! How anyone could call it a comedy I don't know. It is just plain weird. Many people find it hilarious but I certainly don't!!! It starts off with a girl from Bay watch in her house getting ready 2 watch a scary film. She gets a phone call from scream! He says he can see her. ...  Read the complete review
