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.

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...

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.
