Not much different than the original

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2019)

Very quickly and seemingly only one year after the large success of Scary Movie, it was no surprised a sequel was coming. It made have been a mistake since this film made much less at the box office than Scary Movie.
Found Scary Movie 2 to be a slight upgrade from the original in terms of comedy and overall setting. Though there are somethings about the original which made it better. Mainly spoofing the Haunting, the plot comes very quick and doesn't seem to take long to settle. The caretaker in the house is quite creepy, though with some funny gags. A talking crass mouthed parrot is one of the highlights.
After reading other reviews, most seem to believe Scary Movie 2 as rushed and a downgrade from the original, though one's opinion is slightly different. The same original cast is brought back with added some newer ones.
Scary Movie 2 does feel very short with a runtime of only 83 minutes (without end credits it's about 75 minutes), so everything that happens is crucial.
