Comedy, Horror
Let's start with a brief history. 'Scary Movie' was originally the working title of a clever postmodern dissection of 1970s horror which was eventually released under a different title, 'Scream', and became a huge success at the box office, revitalising the long-dead horror genre with a knowing smile. Shortly afterwards, the Wayans brothers made a spoof on 'Scream' (and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer') and called it
It's Got: Recognisable scene from The Ring - joke about Pamela Anderson's boob jobs and home videos - bit from Signs - Charlie Sheen trips over and gets hit repeatedly in the testicles - quote from The Matrix Reloaded - farts - well, you get the picture. The joke about Michael Jackson and paedophilia seems even more relevant now than it would have when the script was written.
It Needs: To engage more with the films it is parodying, to have a broader range of jokes.
Alternatives: Scary Movie, 'Scary Movie 2'
Summary: Leave your brain in the foyer, and your taste in the toilets. 'Scary Movie 3' is comedy at its least sophisticated, with zero subtlety and no critical insights into the horror it parodies.

| "As long as you know roughly what to expect from this kind of movie, you wont be disappointed. A general tirade of quite humorous antics with a number of really 'laugh your head off' bits such as, the arse over the well and the scene at the wake etc. 7 out of 10" |

| This is definetely the best of the three spoof flicks. Structually based on The Ring, with a side order of Signs, the movie throws in loads of other movies such as The Others, 8 Mile, The Matrix, Hellraiser II and many more. The plot is pointless, but it is hilarious. My rating: 10 out of 10. |
