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

Rich S 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 09/24/24 Full Review Darold M Awesome! And hilarious as well I'd watch it again and again and again! Lol, why the critics are so dumb!! Lmao. You know whats more funny than this movie? Critics comments hahaha. I honestly think this is one of the funniest movies ever made. "Take my strong hand". Classic honestly it may be a bit sloppy but the comedy scenes are pure gold I laughed tell I cried in certain scenes. And even though there is no love for doofy, I still love this film. The best late night comedy. An hour and a half of almost non stop dumb humour, cheesy plot, and mediocre acting, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely terrible, I can't believe the sequel would be even worse. Awful humour. preposterous, utterly absurd, and ridiculous. But not in the good ridiculous way. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Jules N Beaucoup moins amusant que son prédécesseur ce qui est dû en partie à cause du fait que on ne se concentre pas assez sur l'intrigue de cette maison fantôme. Certaines scènes restent cependant célèbre comme par exemple la scène de l'exorcisme où celle de la bataille contre le chat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Felix G Hace un tiempo intenté volver a verla creyendo recordar que era buena o graciosa. Terrible lo que encontré. Simplemente una película demasiado mala, siendo de las peores cosas que he visto sin exagerar. Y su humor... un asco y ni siquiera es gracioso. Te puede parecer una critica muy simple la que estas leyendo, pero es que la pelicula es tan idiota y poco graciosa que no merece nada mas que una probadita de su propia medicina. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Gabriel Valentim É um filme mediano. Da pra assistir ainda. Totalmente comédia, mas em comparação com a franquia esse filme é o mais fraco.
