Synopsis
After parodying the blaxploitation films of the 1970s in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Keenen Ivory Wayans takes aim at slasher films of the 1980s and 1990s in this raunchy satire, which was produced under the clumsy but inarguably appropriate title Scream If You Know What I Did Last Halloween. As you might expect, a group of teenagers -- not-terribly-bright Buffy (Shannon Elizabeth), her best friend Brenda (Regina Hall), stoner Shorty (Marlon Wayans), fey football player Ray (Shawn Wayans), loudmouthed Greg (Lochlyn Munro), sexually overexcited Bobby (Jon Abrahams), and his prim girlfriend Cindy (Anna Faris) -- are on the run from a maniacal killer who is looking for revenge after the kids accidentally kill a man following an auto accident. They also find themselves having to contend with intrusive reporter Gail Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri) and eccentric high school principal Squiggly (David L. Lander). Incidentally, the title Scary Movie is something of an inside joke: it was the working title for Scream, the movie that kick-started the mid-'90s slasher film revival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Humor for the weak of brain- or the tired by KForan May 3, 2002 - 11:54 AM PDT

Well it fit the mood perfectly- I was tired and didn't want to think- and this movie certainly doesn't ask for it- Best scene is in the theatre with all the patrons stabbing the person who talks throughout the film and doesn't turn off the cell phone- yeah death- but basically a mild spoog of scary movies- mostly modern ones- didn't use any of the classics- which would have been nice- but hey what can you expect from a spoof.

If you can stomach it, get ready for a funny parody of 'Scream' type films. The opening scene is brilliant and sets the tone.

Here are some original titles to an array of movies. This knowledge can make these movies much more enjoyable, or at least gives us a bit of trivia. Sometimes the first impulse was right, but other times a more inspiring name is found. You decide.
