♣ Scary Effects ♣
Once again we come to a fairly interesting feature and I think the secret lies in the fact that it is not too long. At just over 2 minutes we are shown how some of the effects within the film are done such as the breakaway glass and rubber glass which is used as a means of creating broken glass effects without any potential injury to the cast members, and how the sex with a ghost scene was done. ...

Advantages: a couple of attractive females Disadvantages: the rest of it qualifies
...the catchline for the original Scary Movie was No Mercy. No Shame. No Sequel. It is an interesting metaphysical notion that this movie was not in fact the sequel, since it was stated so obviously that this would not be the case - but if it is not a sequel, then what is it? A prequel? It can't be that, because it takes place after the events of the first. And it can't really be a continuation of the first plot, because that was already resolved. I'm ...

Scarier Movie Review ofScary Movie 2 (DVD)by
3rdRockSatan
...be 6ft under. Yes Scary Movie is back, with less mercy, less shame and less clothes, and its only been a year since its last outing making this one of the fastest sequels ever apart from the Pokemon and Friday the 13th series of films. So have the Wayan’s brothers learnt anything from their last experience not so long ago or is Scary Movie 2 one scream too far? Well you know the answer anyway but nevermind.
It’s nice to go into a film ...

Advantages: This is hilarious - if you're of the juvenile persuasion. Disadvantages: This is terribly offensive, disgusting, and occasionally delves into sacrilege.
Scary Movie 2 is perhaps one of the most brilliant sequels since Ace Ventura 2, in that it is not just a clone of the original (see Speed 2 if you don’t get it).
The Wayans Brothers had a vision: Spoof every horror movie, teen flick, and classic film ever made, and be sure to throw in plenty of sex and drug use so that the teenagers in the audience will love it.
In other words, the mega-popular comedians put together a film (actually, ...

Scary Movie 2 was a much anticipated movie for myself. I loved Scary Movie you see, it was just hilarious in parts and really could take the p**s out of other movies. All the actors were excellent in their role and it sits proudly in my DVD collection. However, after seeing some of the ratings for the 2nd helping of Scary Movie I wasn’t too convinced!
I never did get around to watching it until the other night when me and a few mates decided ...

Advantages: the humour, soundtrack Disadvantages: little plot, slightly repetitive
...I had loved the first scary movie, I thought this would be up my alley.
I have read and heard only bad things about this movie from critics, but I think they are taking the whole thing slightly too seriously. I will firstly point out (a disclaimer) that I bear no grudge against homosexuals, I do not think being disabled is funny, and the p*ss should be taken out of situations, not necessarily people. Paedophiles have a problem, and although I thought ...

...to make a sequel to scary movie-God forbid a sequel to Scary Movie 2?) This eventually does have a ‘mild’ storyline, which can be followed. Some of the scenes are funny though very crude and rude. Other scenes are not funny or scary – just a waste of time.
If you enjoyed Scary movie one or films of this nature then you’d like this, but otherwise best avoided.
And by the way one last thing if a caretaker called Hanson ...

...next viewing.
We decided to watch Scary movie 2! Having not seen Scary movie 1 I was a bit dubious, would we be able to pick up the plot? Would there be references to the first movie? Would it be really scary?! John however, convinced me that it’s a spoof of films like scream and Halloween. This puzzled me because I was lead to believe that Scream was actually a spoof of Halloween and movies of that era. Surely that would make the scary movies ...

Scary Movie was a pretty strange concept in the first place. It spoofed the slasher genre, picking particularly on the Scream series of movies for its inspiration and main target...interesting seeing as Scream was a spoof in the first place. But then I suppose spoofing a spoof IS something new and I actually thought the movie was pretty funny...in a gross, juvenile kind of way. I was rather looking forward to the inevitable sequel but was more than ...

...the director of the 1st Scary movie. He is also an actor, Comedian, Writer and Producer. So basically he is multi-talented. He hasn't directed many recent ones only 2 that I didn't really enjoy watching and that is "White Chicks" and "Little Man". I'm not sure I'm enjoy watching his films, only Scary Movie, I enjoy!
Cindy Campbell is played by Anna Faris. She really famous and can be seen in lots of films, I would say she's becoming not only a ...

Advantages: extremly funny Disadvantages: similar to the first movie
In the first Scary Movie we saw the mick taking of a number of films, which were The Matrix, Don’t Be A Menace In South Central While Drinking The Juice In The Hood (it’s a real film, honest!), Halloween H20, I Know What You Did Last Summer and the main one, Scream. The latest film takes a different approach, as after watching the first film you would expect the sequel to include the mass-murdering Scream killer, but it doesn’t.

Advantages: it's only 82 minutes to endure, I had a 2-4-1 voucher Disadvantages: It's 77 minutes too long, jokes about disabled, the list goes on
Let me start off by saying that I liked the first film. I thought it was pretty funny and did a good job of spoofing horror films. Hell I even have it on dvd and saw it twice while in New York last year. That's why I remember the tag line ending with the lines "NO SEQUEL". Well with over $175 million at the box office the cash cow was still full of milk it would seem so within the space of just over a year we have the sequel and that quick turnaround ...

Advantages: Anna Faris, It's pretty undemanding Disadvantages: Jokes are genuinely hit and miss
The tagline on the poster for last year’s surprise hit ‘Scary Movie’ read ‘No Shame, No Mercy, No Sequel!’ Once the film became such a success at the box office, it seemed incredibly unlikely that the filmmakers would honour the last two words of that slogan! Twelve months on, the inevitable ‘Scary Movie 2’ arrives for another round of horror movie lampooning, totally unsubtle gags and irreverent humour.

Advantages: its really funny Disadvantages: dont compare to the first one
...(if your really dumb its scary movie too) but it is still a top film.
Incase you haven’t seen the last one, these two films are spoofs of other films and they are very funny.
This film takes the Mickey out of scream 2 and 3, the haunting, dude where’s my car, and various other scary movies.
Basically the basic plot is all the people from the last film (who are still alive) have to go and have their sleep monitored by a professor who ...
