Review: Scary Movie 5



If this film was judged based on my expectations of it before seeing it, it would get a glorious five stars for being exactly as predicted, utterly painful and not even remotely funny. 
Yes, i should have seen it coming when i saw the poster

I know I should have avoided this like the plague, but the early instalments of the franchise were pretty funny in a totally mindless kind of way. I missed the fourth one, but remember the third wasn’t too bad. And after recent cinematic travesties such as Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Super hero Movie, Movie Movie and so on, I thought the return of a familiar name, and the one that (unfortunately) started them all may not be so bad (I must have been out of it). So, not one to judge before seeing a film, I went in with an open mind, and left feeling like it had just been defecated on.

The plot is not only thin, but also all over the place as the makers try to cram in a rediculour combination of movie parodies, some of which are not even current (Inception, black swan, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) some which haven’t (or at the time of making wouldn’t have,) even been released (Evil Dead, Mama) and some which are not even films (50 shades of grey), and if you hadn't noticed, most of which are not even horror movies. Each and every so called parody falls flat imediatly, and instead resorts to a slapstick fist fight, every single time.

In Short: Charlie Sheen’s career is further down the toilet than previously believed, and former Disney teen queen Ashley Tisdale had jumped in with him (possibly in a dreadful attempt to distance herself from her tween friendly typecast) as previously stated avoid like the plague.
