Quartile rating: 5.5/10 · 1 rating
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer's crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.
A 2026 reboot/sequel to the Scary Movie franchise arriving 26 years after the original, this entry hits the expected beats of horror parody with crude humor, slapstick, and meta-referential gags. The plot is serviceable only as a framework for sketches. Acting in these films is broadly comedic and intentionally exaggerated rather than nuanced. Cinematography is functional and unremarkable, as expected for the genre. Novelty is limited — while the original Scary Movie was genuinely fresh in 2000, this legacy sequel mining social media influencers and modern horror IPs follows a well-worn template with little distinctive voice. The ending likely delivers a requisite twist parody without much surprise. A solidly average-to-below-average entry across the board, consistent with its 5.4 reputation.
