Connor Macgregor Reviews...Scary Movie

The Parody Movie that started quite possibly some of the worst comedies in recent history...but is it itself bad ?

A group of teenagers including Cindy Campbell and Bobby Prinze, accidentally hit a man when driving, and dispose of the body, but now they are being stalked by a very recognisable masked killer. The victim count increases, whilst Cindy must survive the carnage that has she has seen in so many films before.

Scary Movie should not have been made , because now the parody genre is itself a joke. But this film is funny and very clever at times. Its attempt to parody horror movies is well paid off and does bring some unique humour to the story. They even make reference to the characters being in a movie which i think is great.

Anna Faris plays the lead or "The Final Girl" as it is well known Cindy Campbell. Most of the names are references from horror movies. Buffy Gilmore played by Shannon Elizabeth and Bobby Meeks. Never the less the acting is pretty ok but nothing stand out. My favourite character would have to be Shorty as he is quite possibly the most twisted character in the whole film.

The Killer is pretty funny as well. He does different jokes and the writers try to shape some sort of personality. But never the less he is a killer and we don`t really take a guess of who the killer is. And when you find out who it is , they rip out a very infamous ending.

Scary Movie is funny , but ultimately ruined the parody genre with films like Disaster Movie. Thanks so much.
