| Director: Keenan Ivory Wayans (2001) |
After the inconsistent, yet funny and
occasionally clever Scary Movie, a sequel seemed like it should deliver more of
the same. Its most disappointing that Shawn and Marlon Wayans (amongst 9 other
writing credits) have given us a dire follow up, offering no intelligence and
very little comedy making for a simply terrible film. It follows its
predecessor’s formula, almost with the intention of screwing it into the dirt with
constant toilet humour is and terrible jokes. The film The Haunting is the
framework here, an inferior choice to Scary movie 1’s use of smart slasher
Scream. Plenty of other films get treatment from the Wayans brothers, ranging
from Charlie’s Angels to the butchering of Dirty Harry’s famous speech; the
material feels contrasting with the horror based core of the film. Oh, shit
jokes aren’t, and never will be considered good comedy. Avoid.
