As the first of five films, Scary Movie sets up a group of high school students in the aftermath of committing a murder. Trying to keep their past a secret, their lives escalate as a killer is on the loose. Afterward, some of the initial stars, such as Anna Faris and Regina Hall, continued with the franchise, starring in four of the five movies. As parody movies, the franchise tries to stay within the horror genre while also making a joke out of the original content. Yet, that doesn't stop them from reaching outside horror movies to make many pop culture references.
But, they couldn't always succeed at being a hit. The movies used plenty of slapstick humor. Instead, it settles for jump scares, attempts to make fun of sex scenes, and hits several of its main characters with cars. These are the five Scary Movie films ranked, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
5 Scary Movie 5: (4%)
The final movie comes from Girls Trip and Night School director Malcolm D. Lee and was written by David Zucker, who directed the two previous films, and Pat Proft. Coming in at last place, Scary Movie 5 only received 4% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Scary Movie 4 marked Anna Faris's last appearance in the franchise, but instead, the leading role is given to former Disney Channel star Ashley Tisdale. Scary Movie 5 parodies Paranormal Activity, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Black Swan, and many more. Like its predecessors, Scary Movie 5 also features an array of guest stars and cameos. Scary Movie 5 wasn't a hit on other sites either, coming in at 11% on Metacritic and 3.5 on IMDb.
4 Scary Movie 2: (15%)
Using The Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, Poltergeist, The Haunting, and many more, Scary Movie 2 brought back its main characters for another comedic and terrifying installment. Cindy and Brenda don't catch a break in Scary Movie 2 either, as a trip to a haunted house holds many things to be scared of. Scary Movie 2, like the others in the franchise, also makes fun of well-known horror movie tropes, such as a group of people splitting up in the midst of a dangerous situation.
The movie was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and was written by an array of screenwriters. Critics did not find the film great, and in addition to its low Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie also received 29% on Metacritic and 5.3 on IMDb.
3 Scary Movie 4: (35%)
Scary Movie 4 is the final installment to star main cast members Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Reuniting to face another terrifying adventure, Cindy and Brenda continue to live a life of horror as they once again are at the center of terrifying events. This time, the duo are thrown into the world of Saw.
However, that is not the only film to be recognized. The Grudge and War of the Worlds are also central to the parody's plot. James Earl Jones makes a cameo and narrates the conclusion to the movie. David Zuker directed the film, and it was written by Jim Abrahams, Craig Mazin, and Pat Proft. In addition to its Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie also received 40% on Metacritic and 5.1 on IMDb.
2 Scary Movie 3: (35%)
Using The Ring as center stage, Anna Faris and Regina Hall reprise their roles as Cindy and Brenda to once again have her life terrorized by well-known horror movie villains. The third installment follows as Cindy tries to prevent her death after watching the tape while parenting a child and entering a new relationship. Like the other films previously, Scary Movie 3 parodies multiple horror films. One of the film's stand-out moments has Brenda face-off against Tabitha, the movie's parody of The Ring villain, Sadako Yamamura. When Tabitha climbs through the television to attack Brenda, Brenda watches in horrid fascination until Tabitha gets water all over the floor, then the fight begins. Although Brenda can fend off Tabitha for a bit, in the end, Brenda dies from the attack, only to be revived in the following movie.
Movies parodied in the film are Signs, Airplane!, and many others. Scary Movie 3 was directed by David Zuker and written by Craig Mazin and Pat Proft. The third installment received 49% on Metacritic and 5.5 on IMDb.
1 Scary Movie: (53%)
Scary Movie is rated the best in the franchise at 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. Making fun of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, the film follows Cindy and her friends as a mysterious killer works their way through town. The parody also includes several cameo appearances, including James Van Der Beek, portraying a character meant to reference Dawson's Creek. Like all of its sequels, the film uses humor to make fun of horror movies and the crazy situations the characters get themselves into. Scary Movie scored 48% on Metacritic and 6.2, according to IMDb.
Kennen Ivory Wayans directed the movie, and there were several screenwriters credited for writing the script. They included Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg, and Aaron Seltzer. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer were also the screenwriters of parody movies Vampires Suck, Date Movie, Epic Movie, and The Starving Games.
