James E. @JamesE167 1d This is funny for what it is. If you like raunchy humor, this is an easy laugh. See more Andre T. @andrestuckmannmoviereviews 1d This one was pretty solid man it still got the fun stuff that the scary movie could’ve been this one being the strongest of the 5 I think there is no much competition for a bad franchise that never got interest to me indeed I liked this one over all of the other ones which are really bad and almost unwatchable but overall this one is the best scary movie on the scary franchise. B- See more João S @JoneCB Mar 15 While the film retains some enjoyable elements, it also reveals the diminishing returns of a formula that no longer delivers the same level of novelty or impact.
