Critics Consensus

Sure to inspire a few chuckles, but not enough to compensate for the recycled material from its predecessors.

Austin Chronicle

Scary Movie 4 is so lazy it's downright boring, something not even a naked Leslie Nielsen (!) can salvage.

Rated: 0/5

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

In its attempt to lay waste to every recent hit, Scary Movie 4 creaks and groans from one joke to the next.

Rated: 1.5/4

By the time you get to see the fourth incarnation of any movie franchise, you should be pretty sure what you're in for %u2013 and this one is true to its brand. It's corny, mischievous and more than a tad tacky in places.

Rated: 3/5

Matheus F

Scary Movie 4 [2006] is the best sequel of the franchise because David Zucker did a perfect job connecting horror classics like 'Saw', 'War of the Worlds', 'The Grudge' and 'The Village'. The script is so clever and funny, the scenarios perfectly built (especially Saw's bathroom, War of the Worlds' places and The Grudge's house), the visual effects are very decent and I really loved the ending. Craig Bierko and Leslie Nielsen are very funny in SM4, they really deserved to be in more movies of the franchise. And a huge shout out to Cloris Leachman (Mrs. Norris) for being the most legendary actor to appear in this franchise, winning 1 Oscar and EIGHT Emmys throughout her brilliant career.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Scary Movie 4 maintains a decent level of humor throughout the series, even without the Wayne’s brothers. Like the third installment, the balance between clever and stupid funny moments becomes uneven, but the film still manages to entertain. Grading: C

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
