Scary Movie 2 [MA]

Cindy thought that all her troubles would be over as soon as she left high school. She was wrong. As soon as she goes to college she is selected, as well a few of her classmates, to assist their professor in a series of experiments that will prove the existence of life after death. However, the catch is that they all have to spend the weekend in a creepy old house and, from the moment they arrive, some seriously strange shit begins to happen. 

Well it’s apparent that no movie is sacred and it’s also apparent that the slogan on the cover of the first Scary Movie: No mercy. No shame. No sequel, lied. 

Cindy thought her troubles would be over as soon as she left high school. She was wrong. As soon as she gets to college she is selected, along with a few of her classmates, to assist their professor in a series of experiments that will prove the existence of life after death. However, these experiments are questionable from the word “go”, as they have to spend the weekend together in a decaying old mansion and, from the moment they arrive, some seriously strange shit starts to happen. 

I still agree with my statement that the first Scary Movie was the best, and I still didn’t even like it that much. As the first one took the piss out of horror films with psychotic killers in them, Scary Movie 2 takes us down the path of paranormal and supernatural horror films, being a fusion of The Exorcist, Poltergeist, and The Haunting. Other films such as Charlie’s Angels and The Wizard of Oz are also sampled and the film is pretty much just like the first, only not as cleverly written. The first movie harboured a few unexpected witty delights, but these were erased in this movie and replaced with toilet humour, because that’s what you really need in a movie that is packed full of gore and sex humour. 

Starring Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Tori Spelling, Tim Curry, David Cross, Chris Elliot, Christopher Masterson, Regina Hall, Natasha Lyonne, Kathleen Robertson, and James Woods, Scary Movie 2 was another crude horror-moving bashing filled with ghosts, demons, sex, drugs, under-developed body parts, haunted houses, possession, and a foul-mouthed parrot. Like the first one, you can watch it once, but once is quite enough.
