What to Know

Critics Consensus

Juvenile even by Scary Movie standards, this fifth installment offers stale pop culture gags that generate few laughs.

The latest installment of the slick, highly profitable parody franchise. Go to Full Review

It's supposed to be funny, but you'd have an easier time reading a zombie's pulse than you would finding a single good laugh ... Go to Full Review

For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours. Go to Full Review

This feels akin to being bombarded with an array of skits before the MTV Movie Awards in the early aughts. There is no skill or substance, as it feels like headlines and titles were pulled out of a hat and randomly inserted. Go to Full Review

Instead of resting on his comedic laurels, David Zucker deserves to be flogged by them. Go to Full Review

Aforementioned media-attention malcontents Sheen and Lohan may briefly revel in the cheap frivolity of this vacuous vehicle but for others, Scary Movie 5 is nothing more than an 85-minute smirk that has nowhere to go...groundless, gross guffaws. Go to Full Review

See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector 5d Rated: 3.7/10 ⭐️ Prepping for the new 2026 film that released this month. I honestly knew this would be rough without Cindy and Brenda, and it really missed the mark for me. What Worked: • I honestly appreciate Malcolm D. Lee stepping in to keep the spoof genre alive. • Snoop Dogg and Mac Miller’s woods cameo honestly gave me a pretty good laugh. • Ashley Tisdale tries her best to carry the movie, bringing energy to the spoofs. The Friction: • Faris and Hall not returning honestly left a massive hole the movie just couldn’t fill. • The pacing really dragged for me because they crammed way too many parodies together. • A lot of the jokes felt forced, especially relying on those celebrity cameos. Verdict: Watch to finish the franchise. Skip if you miss the original cast or messy scripts annoy you. See more Casey W @Caseyiswhite96 5d This movie is not apart of the Scary Movie Franchise. Just letting everyone know. It has some funny actors in it but it’s just awful writing. See more Logan B @RT91246896 Jun 6 One of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. Could’ve gone to the bathroom the whole time and came out and have been just as confused. Characters were funny and monsters were satisfactory. Not worth your time 🙄🙄 See more Read all reviews
