I have heard for years about the first SCARY MOVIE but never got a chance of seeing it. However, on Christmas Eve I found it on Netflix and decided to give it a try. Now that I took this off my chest I can go to the review.
In the beginning Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) is doing the exact same thing of Drew Barrymore in the beginning of SCREAM. Soon Ghostface arrives and it happens the same stuff of that 1996 classic, only in a funnier fashion. The movie has no real plot to speak of. From then, it's a lightning fast parody not only of SCREAM 1 and 2, but also of various other horrors or thrillers of those years. Some jokes are funny (especially the moment when Ghostface gets high with Marlon Wayans) and some, well, fall flat.
Despite a few times I felt bored and thought the gags were juvenile, I still liked this film for its funny moments (including the ones aforementioned) and I am one of the few who thinks the sequels are better. Not an awful parody such as SILENCE OF THE HAMS or DISASTER MOVIE... just something in the ways of the two HOT SHOTS, not to be taken seriously.
