Movie Info
This sequel to a box-office sleeper hit that spoofed teen slasher flicks takes its cues from haunted house and possession films, particularly The Haunting (1999) and The Exorcist (1973). Although many of the first film's main characters were homicide victims, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Anna Faris return anyway to "re-possess" their roles for this follow-up in which four students are invited by their professor (Tim Curry) to his haunted mansion, Hell House, for a weekend sleep-deprivation

It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general.
Top CriticScary Movie 2 isn't scary, funny-scary, or even just plain funny.
An act of nose-thumbing that never quite figures out how, or even where, to position its thumb.
This time Wayans and company don't so much lampoon their targets as ineptly copy them.
It's a lot more tightly focused than the first outing.
If you took out all the jokes about bodily fluids, the movie could run five minutes instead of 83, and we could all go home.
Dumb humor, insults and gallons of bodily fluids.
The screenwriters take desperate measures with so much lame sex jokes, body flashes, and disgusting bathroom humor.
Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick...
Perhaps if you send them a stamped, self-addressed envelope they'll tell us why this was thought to be funny.
We can only hope this excrement masquerading as humor will bury the gross-out genre once and for all.
Basically just a bunch of silly spoof scenes cobbled together around a thin premise, it allows the Wayans brothers to have fun in the way a group of kids might have fun with a video camcorder, except with a multi-million-dollar budget.
If you didn't like the first one, stay away, but if you got a few good chuckles out of it, you'll get more of the same with the sequel. I guess it's a matter of personal (bad) taste.
In a classic 'too many cooks' scenario, Scary Movie 2 never manages to put even the semblance of a plot together.
the opening 15 minutes was absolutely gut-wretchingly hysterical. I laughed more at this second film than I did at the first one...
The creators of Scary Movie 2 have forgotten one crucial fact about the horror genre--for every Scream 2 there are twenty Blair Witch 2s.
It's just terrible, with long stretches in which the sea of writers don't even try to insert any humour, followed by an attempted joke that doesn't work on any level.
...it does have one redeeming attribute: brevity.
That the first film's primary target/model was Scream and that this one's is The Haunting says everything about its creative bankruptcy.
The film had eleven writers. I don't see why it needed any. It's unstructured, plotless, and even the truly funny moments are merely juvenile stabs in the dark.
More of the same...only less funny.
Filme producto de la excesiva comercialización que tuvo su predecesor
If you haven't seen the target film, not only is it not funny, it becomes totally pointless.
It's the wackiness of the whole thing that makes it work.
