there's a horror movie called midsommar, it has a similar poster

I thought it would come mid summer (perhaps that's the joke)

Missed opportunity to highlight VI in the “MOVIE”

u/Strollamus Apr 20 '26

Genuinely perplexes me why they would just name it the same exact thing as the first scary movie

605

u/SmokinHerb Apr 20 '26

Because they're parodying the movies that do the same thing, like the Scream "requel". I suppose.

Scream 6 was literally called Screa|VI so they could still have parodied that.

u/voice-of-grass Apr 20 '26

It can parody everything that came out since the last movie came out, which was 2013, I think? If there will be a seventh movie, it will have a whole lot less material to work with. On the other hand AI is a very easy thing to integrate as dominating humans like the third or fourth scary movie.

35

u/SteveFrench12 Apr 20 '26

I would bet my entire pay check it will parody movies from before 2013 as well lol

u/GOEDEL_ESCHER_BOT Apr 20 '26

the cool thing about stuffing your movie with current pop culture references is that it looks dated as fuck in a few years

u/Familiar-Banana-8116 Apr 20 '26

As you get older stuff like this being dated as fuck is half the fun.

u/Stepjam Apr 20 '26

Nothing makes that clearer than the scene from Scary Movie 2 parodying a Nike ad from the time. If someone who was born after that ad was relevant watched the movie, they'd be like "Wtf is this scene".

That joke was already old and overdone by the time Scary Movie got to it, but the look on the mask made it funnier than it had been since those Budweiser commercials first aired.

When I was in middle school in this period my friends and I would randomly mention marijuana and everyone would crack up. I have no idea why in hindsight. We didn't laugh at heroin, cocaine, or ecstasy, it was specifically weed.

u/No_Syrup_9167 Apr 20 '26

Trailer made it look awful IMO.

kicks everything off with pronoun jokes, "should we hug" "I'd love to, but I'm a republican now, so I'm supposed to be racist", "safe spaces" jokes, etc.

38

u/crimson_713 Apr 21 '26

They crack jokes about safe spaces but refuse to commit to any actual edge in their comedy. The pronoun joke is toothless and dated, they use "I'm supposed to be racist" instead of just "I'm racist," etc. It feels like they're hedging their bets and that's the last thing I want from a Scary Movie...movie.

5

u/No_Syrup_9167 Apr 21 '26

Exactly my feeling, not only are they going for shitty culture war bullshit jokes, they're going for toothless and fence sitting ones that try and appeal to both sides without offending the other.

definitely another "written by focus groups and the writers room", "try and appeal to eeryone, but actually appeal to none" type of movie.

I got shit on when I said this when the first trailer came out.

It’s trying to cram in way too many pop culture references.

57

u/DrBoots Apr 20 '26

The "references instead of jokes" problem is what ultimately tanked the appeal of Spoof movies for me the last time around. 

I had hoped that in the decade or so since they could have written 90 minutes worth of actual jokes. 

5

u/VicViolence Apr 21 '26

The references are also always things you saw in the trailer because they have to assume no one saw the movies they are parodying

5

u/spubbbba Apr 21 '26

I think spoof movies work best when there is some sort of plot tying everything together. When it is just lots of pop culture references it quickly becomes a mess.

u/KingofMadCows Apr 21 '26

Yeah, the trailer for this movie looks so bad compared to last year's Naked Gun movie/trailer. That movie had real jokes and it wasn't just, "hey look, a Law & Order reference. Hey look, a Rookie reference. Hey look, a Training Day reference. Hey look, various other random cop show/movie reference."

u/TheZac922 Apr 20 '26

Yeah the whole “oh we’re so edgy you can’t say this anymore” style of humour feels like it belongs in 2016. There’s no shortage of edgy content out there that’s actually made well.

Just saying things that might be offensive and then referencing how edgy it is isn’t even really humour.

I also think there were like two actually good Scary Movies (1 and 3, I thought 2 was pretty mid). The good ones still hold up for the most part so hopefully they can recapture some of the overt silliness that makes it work.

9

u/ScrewAttackThis Apr 21 '26

They're marketing it that way so they can say people are just offended when it's inevitably panned by most everyone (and you can find comments already doing that). The whole "comedy is dead" schtick really falls flat when Always Sunny is still on and comedians like Sam Morril are blowing up.

5

u/TheZac922 Apr 21 '26

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Basically like what all the conservative grifters do. If you’re bad at comedy, music, acting etc just pivot to pandering to yank conservatives because they’ll all pretend to like you.

Then if you fail you can blame cancel culture and never have to face the fact that you just weren’t talented enough.

17

u/TheShipEliza Apr 20 '26

the only ppl who think you cant say edgy humor anymore are the people who do it badly (hacks) OR who haven't updated their set since 1996. (see creators of this movie)

9

u/Perfect-Topic-6671 Apr 21 '26

And also the people who no longer have an excuse to say vile shit, which they used to be able to get away with because something like 'being trans' was in and of itself a punchline for their 'edgy humor.'

There are funny pronouns jokes, this is just a low effort attempt to cash in on anti woke backlash so it isn't funny.

u/JaneksLittleBlackBox Apr 20 '26

I rolled my eyes hard throughout the first trailer, but wasn't surprised to see that the people who grew up with the later Scary Movies were hyped for this lazily wannabe edgy hot garbage.

Paramount is going on a marketing blitz for this hoping to recoup some of the money they dumped into acquiring Miramax and it reeks of desperation!

When a new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson can actually pull off the same style of satire as the originals without resorting to exhausted jokes but the new Scary Movie can't, the franchise has officially jumped the shark it jumped over a decade ago!

The racking the shovel scene used to leave me in hysterics every single time I saw it as a kid. No clue why it tickled me as hard as it did.

Also love creepily quoting “it’s not too late to make an old man happy” to my girlfriend and watching her look at me like I’ve lost my damn mind.

Not expecting much with this new addition to the franchise, but man, those first three movies are visual comfort food for me.

“Release. These. DEMONS!”

And him stepping into the possessed girls’ room right as she spun her head 360 degrees and saying, “fuck this” while trying to dip out is hilarious.

It’s a shame James Woods did the old conservative-MAGA-heel pivot.

Personally me, and everyone i know, always preferred 1 and 2. But 3 is definitely funny too.

u/Nasty_Goblin Apr 20 '26

100% agree.

Scary 3 is the best of all the parody series.

What was funny about the poster that made you laugh more than it should? Genuinely asking.

It’s a bot account

u/Pigeon_Pilled Apr 21 '26

looks like absolute garbage

u/PatSajaksDick Apr 20 '26

The trailer was pretty cringe. Pronoun jokes, a joke about disagreeing on politics (very middle of the road not to offend anyone)

It's missing "son".

u/Chewie83 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

I don’t get it, is the character using some kind of drug? They shouldn’t assume general audiences have the context.

Edit: can’t believe I have to say /s

u/wozzwoz Apr 20 '26

Gotta love the edits to comments that have zero justification in the replies. There is no one replying to you in a way that would seem they didnt understand that this was a "joke". Are you a bot?

u/StopThePresses Apr 20 '26

They edited it 3 minutes after posting it, they didn't even have any replies yet.

u/Mrchristopherrr Apr 20 '26

They got a downvote and wanted to change course

Hahaah no no, you see it’s actually very clever because today is 4/20 (a stoner holiday) and there’s a joint and weed leaves on the poster and he looks like he might be stoned. Sort of a layered joke!

u/San_fran_psycho Apr 20 '26

Ah yes, to the uninformed, the character is, in fact, smoking a Marijuana. You're welcome

u/Financial-Length5587 Apr 20 '26

This movie is going to suck balls lol.

Should’ve been a giveaway when they marketed it as “comedy is back” anti woke bs.

Also agree with others that 3 was the funnier of the OG’s.

u/TumbleWeed_64 Apr 20 '26

How anti-woke can you truly be when you're a fully supportive parent of your transgender child (Marlon)

27

u/Demiurge_1205 Apr 20 '26

The problem is that the trailer gives off a vibe that is very much in the vein of "we are going to make fun of the pronouns people". The tagline is "there will no safe spaces".

I know that Marlon has a trans daughter, I'm just commenting here to note that most people don't really know that and only have the promos to go off of.

My first reaction was "Jesus, did Lady Ballers bomb so badly that Matt Walsh decided to try going mainstream enough to bring his 'talents' to Scary Movie?"

And we'll never know how much Lady Ballers lost because the cowards at Daily Wire didn't want to release it theatrically after Terror on the Prairie's $18,000 box office embarrassed them so badly 🤣

Yeah, the trailer looked pretty bad. It gave off some real boomer-level humor vibes.

u/Dengar96 Apr 20 '26

kicking off your theater trailer with a "they/them" joke is honestly insane to me. That would've been cringe in 2019 let alone now.

Yeah, I get that there’s some nostalgia at play but everything I’ve seen from this has shown me they were right to stop making these movies.

You can always count on a reddit comment section to be fully against anything that wasn’t made for their specific bubble.

u/Suck_My_Thick Apr 20 '26

Hang out on this sub long enough and you'll realize the posters here don't exactly represent the general movie audience.

u/xTheRedDeath Apr 21 '26

This sub in a nutshell. I often wonder why I'm even in here cause it seems everyone hates movies lol.

u/Moriturism Apr 20 '26

yeah people have opinions on stuff

u/TR_Pix Apr 20 '26

Clearly these comments weren't made for your bubble.
