Warning: Spoilers
Creating genre and high school, Scary Movie is presented, one of those films that for some are simple by-products to take teenagers to the movies and that for others become true gems with which they have a very, very good time.

For movie lovers who tend to laugh at supposedly serious horror movies, Scary Movie is a gift, a movie that for most audiences contains bad acting, crazy leads, vulgar humor, and numerous racy scenes, but for the more savvy and Acids will be an absolute parody of the genre, where nothing happens just because, where they know that the more ridiculous the performances and the more crazy jokes are, the more damage is done to what is parodied, which is what in short it is about.

In Scary Movie those who when watching horror movies can be seen to laugh watching their protagonists run and scream, laughing at their ridiculous and more than topical dialogues. Well, in this movie we have it, it is not necessary to imagine, here it is the sequences themselves that are absurd. The main plot and numerous scenes are traced from Scream, but always in a parody tone, and perfectly inserted into the plot we see references to "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "The Blair Witch Project", "The Matrix, or even "Scream 2".

With some jokes better than others, Scary Movie does not have any waste, it contains gags under the gags and the references to horror films of the 90s are multiple. The cast is full of young faces that could well star in any modern horror film but their characters are totally morons who are capable of being scared by phone calls or a clumsy with a mask.

The beginning of a saga that fell precipitously in its sequel and that came back with a fun third part. To see it is to laugh, out-and-out entertainment.
