Scary Movie 5: Oh my fucking god.......

Today, I look at...ugh...it doesn't even need an introduction. Now, before I review this, here are some thoughts on the previous installments in this abysmal series (No spin-off films like A Haunted House, Epic Movie, or Meet the Spartans.) Scary Movie: Now, while this film is extremely stupid, it's that kind of so-dumb-it's-funny type of humor, not nearly as good as the Zucker's previous spoofs such as Naked Gum. Scary Movie 2: More gross-out gags, less funny humor. Still somewhat funny. Scary Movie 3: Series takes a serious dip in quality, as if it wasn't bad enough, especially due to PG-13 rating. Scary Movie 4: Worst in the series, parodies everything and anything. Still PG-13.

Scary Movie 5:
The first film not to feature Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Guess they finally got in their right minds and ditched. This film stars Ashley Tisdale, Simon Rex, Erica Ash, Sarah Hyland, Bow Wow, Kat Williams, Jasmine Guy, and Heather Locklear. It also features cameos by celebrities such as Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Jerry O'Connell, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, Mac Miller, Sheree Whitfield, and Big Ang. The film crams in four parodies into 85 minutes: Mama, Paranormal Activity, Black Swan, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It also has "side-parodies" of films such as Sinister, Insidious, Inception, and Evil Dead (which must have been shot in the past week as that film came out a week before this.) It even has a "parody" of The Cabin in the Woods, which was self-parody to begin with, and is 5x funnier than this film. The "parody" is simply saying the title 8 times over and over. It also parodies pop culture such as Fifty Shades of Grey, Madea, and Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo. It also makes reference to Army of Darkness (one of the original Evil Dead movies), which in itself was a reference to The Day the Earth Stood Still. The film lacks any subtly, with only a few moments that made me chuckle, I was laughing because the people next to me were enjoying the film so much (they quietly informed me they were high, but who knows, they could have just been stupid). You know, this film would probably only be funny to a pothead, it's random, weird, and just all over the place. How they got all these actors and celebrities to be in this piece of shit is a mystery. I can't believe this is from the same people who made The Naked Gun, Airplane, and the original Scary Movie. This is the first film in the series to come out in nearly a decade, and I hope this effectively kills an already dying franchise. This is still in theaters, and isn't doing very well at either the box office or in the eyes of critics, so I hope this is the last film in this franchise. Scary Movie 5 is an awful, unfunny, uninspired mess. Why can't horror spoofs be more like The Cabin in the Woods or Tucker and Dale vs. Evil? That's all I have to say. 1/5 stars.
