 Hollywood Gothique: Scary Movie (2000) Review
SCARY MOVIE manages to overcome its greatest enemy (finding a way to parody something that was half self-parody to begin with) by reusing the simple strategy that screenwriter Kevin Williamson employed in SCREAM: rehash familiar material and then comment on the obvious familiarity.
I don’t think so!” SCARY MOVIE is virtually a remake of those two box office hits; it almost comes close to achieving satirical sophistication by interweaving the two plots and showing that, even when combined, there is still barely enough story for one movie.
SCARY MOVIE exploits the same raw material that fuels the horror genre, and the laughs are sprinkled with almost as many gasps of disgust (along with an occasional glimmer of genuine suspense) that many “serious” horror films elicit.
