This film will pretty much appeal to fans of the previous installments of the Scary Movie franchise. Pour in parody bits from recent films, tie them somehow together, exaggerate the disturbing scenes, undercut them for comedic effect, and you get yet another Scary Movie. There were a few scenes that did bring the funny, and cobbling all the pieces together in a coherent storyline was somewhat achieved, and most of the actors were game to do the parody, the stretching of the idiosyncrasies of many of the original acting performances for spoof's sake.

The film borrows a lot of material from the following films:

Spoiler:

Saw
The Grudge
The War of the Worlds (2005)
Million Dollar Baby
The Village
(no idea where the UN scene came from)


In fact, do not see this film unless you have seen the films parodied or are planning on seeing the films being parodied.

It might make for a decent matinee viewing if you enjoy this genre.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
