Make way for fanny........

Rating: 3/10 (6 January 2016)

A group of teens including Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks are invited to spend a night in Hell House.
Professor Oldman has convinced them it is for a school project, but the night won't go past quietly. Master Kane is long dead, but still plans on enjoying himself, especially with one of the group.
When things really start becoming more perfunctory than parody, the gang must work together to find a way to capture this ghostly menace......
Scary Movie was always going to be a smash hit. After all, how meta was to spoof a film that was wholly ironic with the horror genre to begin with? But a huge theatre hit doesn't always necessarily mean it will be a good film, but it does mean a lesser enjoyable sequel will be released somewhere down the line.......Ask Jack Sparrow.....
So this film spoofs the like of The Exorcist, The Haunting, Hollow Man, What Lies Beneath, and for some reason, Charlie's Angels.
The film starts off not terrible, with woods sending up Max Von Sydow's Father Merrin, and a little bit of The Amityville horror.
But once Woods looks at 'Reagan' and utters an expletive, it goes downhill rapidly, and we are only five minutes into the film.
The rest of the jokes consist of homophobic, drug related, disability, culture, sexual organs reference which never really demand ones use of the brain, and instead cater for people who like inane jokes that are nothing more than pop references that become out if date the minute the film is released in the home format.
For example, their is a two minute set piece involving a basketball, and what must be a parody of some sort of sportswear. The thing is, this commercial was never shown in the UK, so it really goes over Many a head.
So all in all, it's just a blatant cash I on a surprising success, and the films just got porter and poorer.
