As the supernatural extension of the first film, Scary Movie 2 casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as The Exorcist and Poltergeist, as well as the more recent films Hannibal, What Lies Beneath and The House on Haunted Hill. In addition to all things supernatural, it lunges even further, taking on pulp icons including Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible 2.

Critics Consensus

Instead of being funny, this gross-out sequel plays like a sloppy, rushed-out product.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Dumb humor, insults and gallons of bodily fluids. Rated: 2/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Alan Morrison Empire Magazine Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick... Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Time Out It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) A series of gags that indicate the task for the seven writers led by the Wayans Brothers was more enforced labor than creative fun. Rated: C Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Matthew Rozsa matthewrozsa.com Scary Movie 2 is indefensible on every artistic and comedic level... yet I will still stand up for its fans. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 26, 2021 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Nostalgia can only do so much. Scary Movie 2 is merely a handful of sketches threaded together without any semblance of a plot. Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
