Don't Bother With Scary Movie 2

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2001)

TV ads for the movie make it appear as if the flix is just a comic parody of horror movies; but the truth is that this "movie" is just a totally amoral and stunningly disgustingly pornographic spectacle which, if the filmmaker's aim was all along simply to corrupt public morality (intended to create the premise that there is no sexual depravity/perversity which is not perfectly normal and acceptable) could not be much improved on. I think even "scarier" than the movie was the audience in the theater in which I saw the "film" (it incl. MANY children as young as 8 and 11... no doubt brought there by the misleading TV ads). But be warned that in one scene a teenage girl rejoices that her very violent rape was "the best sex she's had!" And in the Exorcist parody scene, when the possessed young girl screams out, "F-me! F-me!" the "priest" does precisely that. The language is even more pornographically violent still; and unrelentingly so throughout the whole movie. Artistically, there is no humor here at all--only the sort of nauseating and repulsive visuals (a jock with his penis pinched inside his tights asking whether it looks better "in" or "out")... visuals which people who are unexpectedly subjected to them usually try to cope with either by nervous coughing or with a right-down hysterical over-reaction (the adults in the audience "laughed" a lot louder than the "jokes" merited it, while the children sat in absolute stone-cold silence throughout... very probably forming the same sort of state of mind child molesters aim for when they expose them to hard porn in order to corrupt them into the perverted notion that these sickening forms of behavior are perfectly acceptable). The children in that theater knew what the adults apparently didn't want to acknowledge: Namely, that this was NOT a funny film, just a series of sexually deviant and morally bankrupt visual-verbal degradations specifically designed to shock even those persons who once imagined there were few things left that could shock them. It does that; that's all it does.
