As the supernatural extension of the first film, "Scary Movie 2" casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as "The Exorcist" and "Poltergeist," as well as the more recent films "Hannibal," "What Lies Beneath" and "The House on Haunted Hill." In addition to all things supernatural, it lunges even further, taking on pulp icons including "Charlie's Angels" and "Mission Impossible 2."

Critics Consensus

Instead of being funny, this gross-out sequel plays like a sloppy, rushed-out product.

Dumb humor, insults and gallons of bodily fluids.

Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick...

Time Out

It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general.

Dan DiNicola

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

A series of gags that indicate the task for the seven writers led by the Wayans Brothers was more enforced labor than creative fun.

Scary Movie 2 is indefensible on every artistic and comedic level... yet I will still stand up for its fans.

Rated: 1.5/4

Nostalgia can only do so much. Scary Movie 2 is merely a handful of sketches threaded together without any semblance of a plot.

Beaucoup moins amusant que son prédécesseur ce qui est dû en partie à cause du fait que on ne se concentre pas assez sur l'intrigue de cette maison fantôme. Certaines scènes restent cependant célèbre comme par exemple la scène de l'exorcisme où celle de la bataille contre le chat.

Hace un tiempo intenté volver a verla creyendo recordar que era buena o graciosa. Terrible lo que encontré. Simplemente una película demasiado mala, siendo de las peores cosas que he visto sin exagerar. Y su humor... un asco y ni siquiera es gracioso. Te puede parecer una critica muy simple la que estas leyendo, pero es que la pelicula es tan idiota y poco graciosa que no merece nada mas que una probadita de su propia medicina.

É um filme mediano. Da pra assistir ainda. Totalmente comédia, mas em comparação com a franquia esse filme é o mais fraco.

It's been a while since I saw it, but I do remember thinking the first "Scary Movie" was a super entertaining comedy that I laughed a lot during. Unfortunately, the immediate follow-up, "Scary Movie 2," is a huge dropoff in quality. The movie does have some funny parts that admittedly made me laugh here and there, but a lot of jokes also fell flat and I felt pretty unimpressed by the finished product. This movie relies a lot on the same type of humor and while it can be funny, it also gets pretty repetitive and gross at times. Overall, it is not without some laughs, but isn't worth seeking out, and I would much rather just watch the first one again before seeing this one any time soon.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Normalita película, una cinta un poco peor que la primera. Esta película es lo mismo que la anterior pero con otra historia, una que en mi opinión se toma menos en serio, con mas chistes y con escenas completamente absurdas. Creo que a esta cinta le falto una buena historia de la que agarrarse, como en la anterior parodiaron principalmente a Scream. Esta se me hizo una trama mas aburrida, que si bien mete algunos personajes nuevos muy divertidos, creo que en lo que falla es en el exceso de lo absurdo. El humor esta bien, tiene chistes muy buenos y otros que no me sirven, y las diversas parodias que hacen no están nada mal y son variadas, sin embargo siento que hay cosas innecesarias como parodiar una publicidad de Nike. El grupo de personajes que se mantiene de la anterior película sigue siendo genial y aporta mucho en algunas cosas; por otro lado, las actuaciones están muy bien, principalmente las de Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall, David Cross, Tim Curry y Chris Elliott. En conclusión, una cinta decente que en mi opinión esta por debajo de la primera debido al exceso de lo absurdo en su trama y en sus chistes. La recomiendo si te gusto la primera.
