That was an excellent one.
It is a performances centric movie
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
This is equally as funny as the first, for those that criticise it for being dull or over the top, it's a spoof parodying horror films, it's not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest.The opening scenes, the parody of The Exorcist is one of the funniest things, I can no longer watch The Exorcist without picturing James Woods. There are so many funny moments I can pick out, Hanson's hand and the dinner, Ray and the Clown, but I can't help rewinding Cindy's scene with the cat, that's just too funny.I think this, like the first was such a great movie, but then they had so much material at the time to work with, so much to parody. Films recently seem so unoriginal, they continue to rehash old material, that's why I couldn't see this type of film working right now, perhaps that's why the fifth instalment was so poor.Not one for everyone, as it does manage to offend everyone, if you can take it for how it's meant, it's hilarious.
Scary Movie 2 is the 2001 sequel to the hilarious fun fest Scary Movie. The film parody's Titanic,The Exorcist and Poltergiest. It's about Cindy who now in college goes to a haunted house as a project for college only til not so scary entity's come out to kill one by one. Like the first film,an amazing hilarious laugh riot. Anna Faris was perfect as the idiot Cindy. The film spoofs a lot of good films that I really liked. Natasha Lyon made a guest appearance as Regan from the exorcist who I thought was really funny. The movie once again was directed by one of the Wayane brothers who I love as a director. Scary Movie 2 is a awesome hilarious astounding comedy spoof that you need to see if you love spoof films!!
Scary Movie 2 (2001): Dir: Keenan Ivory Wayans / Cast: Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Tim Curry, Regina Hall: After spoofing The Exorcist and The Amittyville Horror in the opening, this sequel then plummets in despair. This time it targets The Haunting and The House On Haunted Hill with Tim Curry summoning a group of students to Hell House. There is no story to be found as it gets lost in its own vile. Keenan Ivory Wayans achieved the satire delivery in the first film but he directs this sequel rather half-heartedly. Anna Faris returns as Cindy who gets into a boxing fight with a cat in a reference to Raging Bull. Marlon Wayans is wrapped and smoked by a marijuana plant. This may very well be the best visual joke in the film but it is carried on too long. Shawn Wayans surprises a clown demon under the bed in a reference to Poltergeist. Curry is wasted as a professor who serves no real purpose. Perhaps it is his appeal from The Rocky Horror Picture Show that aided in his casting but this film hardly allows him to catch lightning in a bottle. Regina Hall returns and dies again, which makes little sense but then again, why look for logic here. Scary Movie used vulgar humour but it worked because it exposes horror film clichés. This time Wayans is given a larger budget and creates a spectacle in shame that should be wrapped like a joint and lit on fire. Score: 1 / 10
Last night, some of my friends insisted upon watching a comedy. While comedy isn't my favorite movie genre, I do like them. We ended up watching scary movie 2 and oh boy was it bad. I can find enjoyment out of bad movies like sharknado but not this one. It is a fact that I laughed only once the entire movie! The saddest part is that it was in the first five minutes of the movie so I sat through the rest of the movie bored out of my mind. There are no characters to care about, no plot, and shitty special effects. But guess what I fully expected that and put that aside. AND I STILL HATED IT! I just wanted the movie to make me laugh and it failed at that. Well, it did make me laugh once so I'll give it 1 out of 10 stars.
