Scary Movie 2 (2001) - Synopsis
The Wayans brothers and their hysterical cast of players are back for more laughs, delivering the summer's biggest, action packed, thrill ride of fun - SCARY MOVIE 2. Following the groundbreaking success of last year's sleeper blockbuster, SCARY MOVIE (2000), Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are now taking aim at the world of the supernatural.
As the supernatural extension of the first film, SCARY MOVIE 2 casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as Exorcist, the (1973) and Poltergeist (1982) as well as the more recent films Hannibal (2001) What Lies Beneath (2000) and House on Haunted Hill (1999) In addition to all things supernatural, it lunges even further, taking on pulp icons including Charlie's Angels (2000) and Mission Impossible 2 (2000)
Leaving nothing in their path, the Wayans go the final yard by parodying current pop culture, shamelessly tackling and weaving late night infomercials, television psychics and even the latest basketball commercial.
The films opens with a standout, send-up spoof of Exorcist, the (1973) featuring James Woods as the non conventional priest Father McFelly, assigned to purge a head twisting Natasha Lyonne of an other worldly poltergeist. Then, picking up where they left off, the Wayans comically reunite with heroine Cindy Campbell, now a prospering college coed.
A mad professor (Tim Curry) stealthily recruits her and her group of thrill seeking classmates for a weekend getaway under the auspices of a scientific experiment. As the ever shocking and often extra-curricular activities of the weekend unfold, the hilarious surprises keep the fun coming.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, SCARY MOVIE 2 features a lively and talented ensemble cast that includes Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, James Woods, Chris Elliott, Andy Richter, Natasha Lyonne, David Cross, Regina Hall, Kathleen Robertson, Tori Spelling and Richard Moll.
