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.

Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick...

Time Out

It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general.

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.

Scary Movie 2 is indefensible on every artistic and comedic level... yet I will still stand up for its fans.

Rated: 1.5/4

Nostalgia can only do so much. Scary Movie 2 is merely a handful of sketches threaded together without any semblance of a plot.

Was a decent movie until the third act, which then becomes a snooze fest and have you wondering "when is it gonna be over?"

Go figure: The Wayans Brothers attract a much better cast and produce a film that fails miserably -- even in comparison to the original. The opening scene is enough to send people back to the window to get their movie tickets exchanged for anything. Anything is better than this. The star goes to the folks who salvaged a decent living despite having this movie on their resume.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
