"The original Scary Movie!". Pretty amusing Horror spoof, that was quite entertaining, with an amusing ending, and funny performances

[7/10 · 15 May 2006]

This is a pretty amusing Horror spoof, that was quite entertaining, with an amusing ending, and funny performances. All the characters are cool, and the story was amusing as well, plus The opening Halloween spoof was especially good!. I would put this on par with Scary Movie, and I liked it whenever somebody got killed off they would show you the death count has been brought up, plus there are some misses but a lot of them were hits too. It's pretty cheap, but still pretty well done for it's budget, and while the kills are silly they were still entertaining, plus I can't believe Kristen Riter(Toby the lead) played it completely straight as it made me wonder how she kept a straight face!. I especially loved the Nightmare on Elm street spoof in the beginning with all the slime coming out of the phone, and I was lucky enough to find and tape this on the scream channel, plus Richard Brando is awesome as the killer, as I loved how he spoofed Michael Myer's heavy breathing!. This is a pretty amusing Horror spoof, that was quite entertaining, with an amusing ending and funny performances, and I say it's well worth the watch!. The Direction is good!. Mickey Rose does a good! job here with solid camera work, good angles and I loved how he spoofed the tricky opening shot in Halloween, and he kept the film funny and at a fast pace throughout. The Acting is fun. Kristen Riter is fun as the female lead, I couldn't believe she played it completely straight as if she were in a dramatic movie, it's too bad she only did one film as she was good here. Matthew Goldsby is good as the boyfriend I liked him. Rest of the cast are equally fun. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5
