Scary Movie 4 has no respect for its audience. There are no jokes in the movie, just people getting hurt and sexual references. Sure, those topics can be funny, but there needs to be setup or cleverness involved to make a legitimate gag. Meanwhile, the broader story is equally absent because it's a collection of references to other movies rather than an independent narrative. Many scenes are shoehorned in, making this feel like a sketch show instead of a film. Spoofing is already a low form of comedy, but Scary Movie 4 doesn't even play off of its source material. It only references them as if that alone is funny or entertaining.
On top of all this, Scary Movie 4 is as cheap as can be. The special effects, makeup, and costumes are not even trying. Everything looks like a knockoff SNL skit. It's surprising that they got cameos for this production because it's an embarrassment. Clearly, this was made by scam artists who were more interested in grifting audiences than actual entertainment. Overall, Scary Movie 4 is a pathetic pile of garbage that is insulting to anyone who views it. Stay far away.
