What is Scary Movie about?

While each film in the Scary Movie franchise has a different storyline, they are all centred around the comedic parody of several renowned horror movies.

In the first Scary Movie film, a group of teenagers accidentally kill a man with their car and one year after dumping the body, they are suddenly targeted by the series’ antagonist Ghostface, setting a comedically gruesome chain of events. 

The film parodies scenes from cult-favourite horror films Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with the subsequent sequels satirising The Exorcist, The Ring, War of the Worlds, The Grudge, and Paranormal Activity.
