Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

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.

Moviegoers are saying
Audiences are split down the middle, with the Wayans crowd laughing hard at a meme-stuffed parody that packs in Teyana Taylor, K-pop Demon Hunters, and a 'six seven' joke. Fans who grew up on Scary Movie 1 and 2 call it hilarious and 'every joke hit,' while detractors say it's 'more desperate than funny' and a few walked out before the halfway mark. The sharpest split is whether you find the pop-culture barrage clever or exhausting.

In 2026, a “Scary Movie” making fun of “Scream” movies, which from the get-go were inside-joke takes on horror films, is like a Russian nesting doll of comedy, where the laughs get smaller with each reveal.

Mileage seriously varies in terms of the funny here. If you don’t laugh at one bit, don’t worry, because another dozen or two will come flyin’ atcha in a minute. But every time Faris and Hall are onscreen together, Scary Movie comes the closest to hitting a groove.

Watching seasoned older comedians target the young for caring too much is bad enough, but seeing them miss even their softest targets makes Scary Movie the most embarrassing movie spoof since Scary Movie.
