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.

Dumb humor, insults and gallons of bodily fluids.

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

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.

Scary Movie 2 continues to be a resounding success, thanks to the Wayne’s brothers’ comedic horror spoof material. However, it’s important to strike a balance between cleverness and sheer stupidity, as the second film may contain some overly explicit moments that won’t appeal to all audiences but as a fan of the first movie, I can confidently say that the sequel rightfully delivered another classic from the Wayne’s brothers. Grading: C+

This movie was an actual acid trip, 7 minutes in and there were already 3 bodily fluid jokes, along with like 50 sex jokes, didn't even give me a chance to calm my boner down.

After getting a bunch of giggles during the first one.. (as culturally tone deaf as it would, and should, be seen now) I was really disappointed to finally see this, and end up turning it off partway through. In the first six minutes there was blowout feces, a ridiculous amount of overly yellow urine, and enough vomit to coat the walls - and all of the actors. Literally 6 minutes in. A fist fight with a terribly constructed animatronic cat. A parrot that says crude things for the sake of being crude. I had hopes someone like David Cross could add a bit of clever comedy, but even he couldn't save this disaster. The overkill of the tiny mutated hand jokes certainly didn't do the film any favours, either. I don't feel like character development Is even essential to movies like this - but I didn't care about a single one of them, or what happened to them. The Wayans "killed it" and achieved the goals they were going for in the first movie; the second movie was a rushed and juvenile offering.. I'm surprised they made a third. And before anyone says that I shouldn't write a review before watching the whole thing - I sat through the last part just to see if it got any better, and of course it didn't. Anna Faris' brilliant performance in the first offering was what made me come back for the sequel the most, but again, like David Cross, just couldn't pick the pieces of corn out of this pile of sh*t.

This has the be my least favourite scary movie because I didn't find it very funny and it was a bit boring.
