‘Scary Movie 5’ is the fifth film in the ‘Scary
Movie’ series. Presenting its brand of unbridled crass humour, the film spoofs renowned
names such as ‘Paranormal Activity’, ‘Mama’, ‘The Cabin In The Woods’, ‘Evil
Dead’, ‘Inception’, ‘Sinister’, ‘Black Swan’, ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’,
‘Insidious’ and ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.
I frankly believe that the ‘Scary Movie’
series is not supposed to be taken seriously. So, those looking for cinematic
brilliance, go watch something else. The film encompasses innumerable
cringe-worthy scenes, abundant toilet humour, fair amount of obscenity and the
lamest of gags. However, they do manage to entertain. So, the purpose is
served. You will find this film immensely funny, if you have a fair idea about
the aforementioned sources, which have been parodied.
There’s a small gag at the beginning of the
film, involving Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan. This is a fairly silly, yet
funny, rip-off of the ‘Paranormal Activity’ series. Lohan gets possessed and
ends up killing Charlie. The couple’s 3 children are trapped inside the
dingy-looking ‘Cabin in the Woods’. They are encountered by Snoop Dogg and Mac
Miller, who initially visit the Cabin hoping to score some fine weed.
The kids, who have grown to become a bit
animal-like and eerie in their mannerisms under the influence of their ‘Mama’,
are taken in by their uncle Dan Sanders (Simon Rex) and his partner Jody
Sanders (Ashley Tisdale). Thereafter, most of the film is a take-off on the
Jessica Chastain horror film, with the occasional tribute (?) thrown in to
films such as ‘Inception’, ‘Black Swan’ etc.
This film is what you would call ‘time pass’
in colloquial terms. Certainly, this film would be a better bet than watching a
big-budget drag of a sci-fi film or a listless, meandering, meaningful
(self-proclaimed) motion picture. Watch out for the rip-roaring sequences
involving the couple’s Hispanic house-help, Maria (Lidia Porto). The lead
actress of the film, Ashley Tisdale looks stunning and is absolutely hilarious.
The take-offs on ‘Black Swan’ are also certain to evoke guffaws from the audiences.
The special appearances (Snoop Dogg, Mike Tyson, Usher, Bow Wow among others)
perfectly get tailored into the insane plot. There’s humour involving sex,
dope, faeces, ghosts, amputated body parts, the works!
This film was unabashedly, and unapologetically,
silly. Yet, it was funny. Plus, it’s
only 86 minutes!
