Scary Movie

Twenty-six years after the original Core Four survived a masked killer whose very existence felt like a copyright violation, the gang reassembles for another round. Michael Tiddes directs the Wayans brothers and Anna Faris and Regina Hall back into a franchise that built its reputation by running genre conventions through a blender — jokes arriving faster than the plot, parody operating less as commentary than as maximum-density reference fire. The 2026 iteration promises no horror IP will be left standing, which frames the whole enterprise as a catalog sweep: how much has accumulated since 2000, and how much of it survives the treatment.
