Scary Movie

Scary Movie is a 2000 comedy-drama-parody film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, as part of Wayans Bros. Entertainment. It is an American dark comedy which heavily parodies the horror, slasher, and mystery genres. Several mid- and late-90s films and TV shows are spoofed, most predominantly Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, along with The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and Dawson's Creek.

It starred Dave Sheridan as Doofy the mentally disabled cop and the killer. The tagline reads "No mercy. No shame. No sequel.", the last reference being an ironic nod towards the tendency of popular horror movies becoming cash cow franchises. 2001 saw the release of Scary Movie 2, whose tagline stated "We lied". Later video covers of the first film frequently drop the tagline's third statement. Scary Movie was followed by three more sequels Scary Movie 2 (2001), Scary Movie 3 (2003), and Scary Movie 4 (2006). Its title serves as a homage to the production title of Scream, which was also released through Dimension Films. In 2012, Scary Movie 5 will be released

Movie Synopsis
An 18-year-old girl named Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) receives a threatening phone call while home alone one night. In an opening which closely mirrors Scream, Drew is chased outside by her killer, who then rips off her sweater and skirt, leaving her clothed in her white bra and thong, Drew runs through her garden sprinklers but she is then stabbed in the breast by the killer (revealing she has fake boobs), hit by a car driven by her father and then killed by the killer.

The next day, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), meets up with her boyfriend Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams) and her friends, Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans), Greg Phillipe (Lochlyn Munro), and Buffy Gilmore (Shannon Elizabeth). Various news teams - including hack reporter Gail Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri) - converge on the school in the wake of Drew's brutal death. Gail hooks up with Buffy's mentally disabled brother Doofy (Dave Sheridan), hoping to milk the facts out of him. Cindy realizes that Drew's murder occurred exactly one year after she and her friends accidentally killed a man during a wild car ride. Unwilling to face incarceration, the group dumped the body off a nearby pier - but not without robbing him blind first.
