Chris Elliott Steals the Show

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2018)

Scary Movie 2 isn't meant to be an Oscar contender by any means, but the film is still a great one for Halloween. It's not too scary that you'll be in fear, but it's funny enough that you'll be laughing tears. They parody movies from The Exorcist to The Haunting.
The cast is exceptionally funny, especially Chris Elliott as Hanson, the guy with the creepy little hand. Anna Faris returns as Cindy from the first film, still sporting black hair. James Woods has a cameo as a priest named Father McFeely, and he's pretty funny. And of course, Tim Curry as the Professor was brilliant and creepy at the same time. But Chris Elliott stole the show, as gut wrenching as he is to watch in this film, you can't help but laugh.
This is the last installment directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, as he later went on to direct Littleman and White Chicks.
