  Scary Movie
  
  A wonderful bit of comedy mocking the cult horror films of our day. Great for a bit of a laugh!

  Very disappointing. It's not scary and it's not funny. The best scenes are in the selection of additional footage on the dvd, left out of the movie.

  Fun stuff - just when the Scream bandwagon needed a spoof. Better than the other spoofs from the same time.
