I can't wait for this movie to come out! I've always been a massive fan of the Scary Movie films!

I’m surprised the reaction to the trailer has been so positive.

I’m a fan of the first few films but pretty much every joke in this trailer fell flat for me.

It seemed to be much more in the vein of the Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer films rather than the Scary Movie films (although, ironically they did write on the original).

Given that there's been a dearth of new, decent budgeted Hollywood spoof films for over a decade, I'm guessed that people have been so starved for one for so long that they'll take what they can get. They're definitely starting to have a moment again, with last year's Naked Gun reboot doing decent numbers, and Fackham Hall performing better than I expected.

I wasn't a fan of the first two Scary Movie films (found them too crass), but enjoyed the more Naked Gun-esque 3 and 4 (never saw 5), so I don't expect to be as keen on this one, given it brings back the original writing cast. Not too sold on the trailer, but if it leads to Hollywood dipping its toes in the spoof genre again in a big way, then Godspeed.

Also, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, despite being credited as writers, did not contribute anything to the script of Scary Movie. They were credited due to the quirks of the WGA system. Then they used that as leverage to destroy spoof films for everyone.
