Scary Movie 2

A group of college students are lured to a secluded mansion by their professor for a research project, only to find themselves terrorized by a host of supernatural forces and the sadistic ghost of the house's former owner. The students must fight for survival against a variety of horror movie clichés and ridiculous situations.

Scary Movie 2 received generally negative reviews from critics, with many finding its humor crass and its reliance on gross-out gags to be excessive. While it performed well at the box office, it was widely seen as a less successful follow-up to its predecessor.

• Relies heavily on crude and often offensive humor.

• Lacks the cleverness and surprise of the first film.

• Attempts to parody a wide range of horror films but often falls flat.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be hit-or-miss, with some appreciating the over-the-top parody and slapstick, while many others felt the humor was too juvenile and relied too much on shock value.

The parody of The Exorcist scene was so controversial that when the film was shown on basic cable, the offending dialogue and imagery had to be heavily edited or removed entirely.
