	Movies - Scary Movie

Scary Movie (2000), an American film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, is a comedy spoof that parodies the horror and mystery genres. Several mid- and late-1990s movies are skewered, including The Sixth Sense
, I Know What You Did Last Summer
, The Usual Suspects
, The Matrix
, The Blair Witch Project
, and the Scream trilogy.

It was promoted with the tagline No mercy. No shame. No sequel., with the last reference being to the tendency of popular horror movies to become long-running franchises. However, in 2001, Scary Movie 2
was released (with the appropriate tagline "We lied"). A second sequel, Scary Movie 3
, followed in 2003.

Scary Movie 4
is in post-production as of 2006 and will be released on April 14, 2006. When Scary Movie 3
was released on VHS and DVD, Scary Movie 3.5 was also featured, with a different ending and extended scenes.

Plot

The movie follows the same general plot as the first Scream movie. The opening starts with a young woman (Carmen Electra) being called at home by a mysterious caller, who then proceeds to threaten her. The woman runs into a field where she sees two traffic signs pointing in opposite directions - one to 'Safety', the other to 'Death'. The young woman runs in the direction of 'Death', is stabbed by the killer (though when the killer pulls out the knife from her chest, he rips out her silicone implant) and is run over by her father (who is too busy getting fellatio to notice).

The movie then follows Cindy (Anna Faris), a student at a high school, who talks about the death of the young woman and implies that she and her friends have some dark secret they're hiding, and which is now catching up with them (with obvious references to I Know What You Did Last Summer). One by one, Cindy's friends are murdered. The local police are no help, especially since Doofy (Dave Sheridan), Buffy's retarded brother, is part of the police force.

Towards the end of the movie, the killer reveals himself - as being both Ray (Shawn Wayans) and Bobby (Jon Abrahams), who make light of the fact that "the ending of Scream didn't make any sense". Ray kills Bobby, but is killed himself by the actual killer, who has yet to be revealed. Sitting in the police station, trying to make sense of everything, Cindy comes to a revelation (parodying the scene in The Usual Suspects when Agent Kujan realizes who Keyser Soze is) - the actual killer is none other than Doofy ("Shithead?" the Sherriff asks in response). The two run out to find him. However, in a scene paralleling the ending of The Usual Suspects, Doofy sheds his outfit and mustache, revealing himself to be a 'cool' guy (with the song "Too Cool For School" By Fountains of Wayne in the background) who jumps into reporter Gail Hailstorm's car. The two drive off, with Doofy throwing the fright mask out as the final piece of evidence. Cindy stands in the middle of the street, yelling "Noooo!" until a car comes by and runs her over.
