Scary Movie 2

Scary Movie 2 (July 6, 2001) is the second in a series. In the United States, the film raised $ 71,308,997. Around the world - $ 141,220,678. Although it is good in its own way, but of the four parts of the Scary Movie, this is considered the least successful so far ^[2] . Not only because it is the second and last Very Scary Movie that received an R rating, but also because this film also marks the end of the Wayans siblings' participation in the series, because they switched to other projects, including the 2004 comedy White Chicks .

The film begins with a parody of the Exorcist : a little girl named Meghan Voorhees (the namesake of the infamous fictional serial killer Jason Voorhees ) is obsessed with the devil, and two priests, Father McFilay and Father Harris ( James Woods and Andy Richter, respectively) must expel him. But, after Megan insults Harris's mother, he shoots her in the head.

All the characters who mysteriously died in the first part are alive and well in this film, plus new characters join them: Buddy ( Christopher Masterson ), Theo ( Kathleen Robertson ) and Alex ( Tori Spelling ).

The story begins with college professor Professor Oldman ( Tim Curry ) and his wheelchair assistant Dwight ( David Cross ) planning to study ghosts in the mansion, using teens as bait.

Strange things happen in the house: a clown attacks Rhea, Melky attacks a revived plant , Cindy starts a fight with an obsessed cat, and Dwight argues with a swindling parrot. When everyone finds out about the professor’s plan, they try to escape from the house, and a ghost is discovered, still living in the mansion. The guys must defeat the ghost before they can get out.

Scary Movie 3

Scary Movie 3 (October 24, 2003) is the third movie in the series. With $ 220,673,217 from around the world ^[3] , this is the second most successful / popular film of the series. The plot of the film is a combination of parodies on the Bell , Signs and other films / celebrities. Michael Jackson wanted to sue filmmakers for showing him in such a way that he looked like a pedophile. ^[4] It was the first Very Scary Movie to receive a PG-13 rating in the United States ^[3] (and the first to have none of Wayans s), since the first two were rated R ^{[5] [6]} . This happened because, starting with this part, the content of the films has become more balanced.

Knixen towards Signs : the plot revolves around some strange crop circles found near an old farm. And knixen in the direction of the Bell : a strange video appears here and there, and when you watch it, the phone rings and an eerie voice says: “You will die in seven days.” The denouement is getting closer and closer when Cindy just falls in love with a rapper named George (a parody of Eminem ) and finds out that she will die in seven days.

Meanwhile, farmers who find strange circles in their field will find out that the aliens who flew to Earth want to destroy the killer, killing people who watched the tape.
