Critics Consensus

Taking a stab at modern horror movies and missing more than it cuts, Scary Movie's self-referential callbacks and tired gags make for a stunted return to what was already a hit-or-miss franchise.

Audience Says

Laden with nostalgia and OG ribaldry, Scary Movie delivers stupid, good fun that’s appropriately inappropriate.

The gentrification of genre is a real and consequential development, and yet the prevailing feeling watching the latest Scary Movie is of vague disinterest, and also narrowly missed opportunities.

The new “Scary Movie” is stuck somewhere between then and now, with one foot in the early-millennial absurdism that spawned the series’ most beloved gags, and the other planted way too firmly in quote-unquote edgy humor.

We laugh because we’re defeated. That requires more effort than Scary Movie is usually willing to expend, but every once in a while, it gets there.

The movie does deliver with with multiple parodies of more recent popular horror films like the substance, weapons, smile and a lot more but some jokes fell more flat than others

Its no masterpiece, but Scary Movie 2026 delivers enough laughs to satiate the audience. With horror movies more relevant than ever, it spreads the wealth and gives the franchise stars their due.

You can see it’s clearly a film made with passion, for the horror genre, for a certain generation and for the franchise that the brothers believe was stolen from them around 25 years ago.

Pissed off customer.

One of the worst Scary Movies in the history of the franchise. Just pure laziness with no brain power put into it, & I find it disrespectful to even consider releasing this garbage. A backhand slap in the consumers face.
