MOVIE: Scary movie 2
Ever wondered what’s more goose bumpy than a scary movie (no prizes for your self-proclaimed brainstorm).
Well let me ruin your exhilaration. The sequel of Scary Movie is just as ridiculous and preposterous as the first part.
According to one cheesy critic Scary Movie makes Jean Claude Vandamme and Sylvester Stallone movies look good and between you and me that is saying something.
Tidbits of many movies including The Exorcist, Stigmata, Dude where’s my car and Charlie’s Angles have been thrown in to make an absurd potpourri. There is an inconsistency in the movie; first a (perverted) priest tries to drag out a ghost that has possessed a girl but instead they end up doing a bonanza of puking on each other. Then the entire plot of the movie abruptly jostles. The movie embarks again, when a professor cons a group of teenagers into living in a haunted house. The teenagers, unbeknownst of the real nature of this trip, have a happy-go-lucky attitude.
The professor wishes to discover life after death. The haunted house is the sanctuary of ghosts; people who were murdered in the very same house. The professor is generally of a villainous character but the tormenting ghost supersedes him. ‘Sydney’ from the previous part of the movie is still alive and the main protagonist of the movie.
The plot of the movie is really groggy, but then again, what was I expecting? Some of the humour in the movie, being excessively slick and sometimes sick, falls plainly flat and makes you want to cringe in your seat. The sequences mimicking the fighting sequences from Charlie’s Angles are very amusing and comical.
Scary Movie 2 like its predecessor defies everything, including reasoning prowess of man as well as the laws of gravity. Before watching the movie, just make sure you leave your brains at home!
