Unfortunately, the first trailer for Dimension Films’ horror comedy spoof Scary Movie 5 has been released. Everything about this is terrible, as the trailer highlights the film’s awful, unfunny acting, annoying overuse of clichés, and abundance of physical “comedy.” The trailer also uses Danny Elfman’s swell score from Beetlejuice, which is offensive to Elfman, Beetlejuice, and good movies in general. The only familiar face here from the previous films is Simon Rex, and the series actually feels pretty outdated. Scary Movie 5 spoofs films like Black Swan and Inception, which just seems old at this point. The pic also takes on the Paranormal Activity franchise, but Scary Movie creator Marlon Wayans has his own PA spoof called A Haunted House set for release in January. Having now seen trailers for both films, I feel confident in saying that A Haunted House will look like Citizen Kane compared to Scary Movie 5.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale, Heather Locklear, and Katt Williams. Scary Movie 5 opens on April 12th.

I hate and I mean HATE this genre! but I have to admit this trailer made me laugh at points. As long as they don’t go the Epic Movie or Disaster Movie route, it could be good.
I agree with the comment that this is EXACTLY like the Wayan’s movie Haunted house which is coming out in Jan while this will be out April. And in terms of the both movies relying heavily on the Paranormal 1 bedroom scenes: Its pretty sad when two separate TEAMS of film-making professionals (with millions of dollars in budgets) come up with the exact same tired troupe at the exact same time.
wtf? Inception? lol. I thought they only parody scary movies hence the name of the movie “Scary Movie”
I thought this genre of blatant parody died with ‘Epic Movie’ and that one Spartans sequel. I’m sure something like Scary Movie 5 would do well if released on Youtube….free to watch. But to pay a full priced ticket for this? I’d rather not.
I loathe the obvious and blatant parody…. thought it was stupid as a kid when I saw “Space Balls”.
I think the best part was lindsay grtting her probabtion revoked. Probably because it actually happened.
I think for an actor, being in a Scary Movie flick means one of two things:
(i) You’re a has-been and your career is over.
(ii) You’re a new young actor breaking into Hollywood…and your career is going NOWHERE.
Well Charlie was in 3 and 4. I wouldnt say his career was over then since he was making huge checkes on that crappy tv show.
Laugh count: 1/2.
The 1/2 being a chuckle that went towards Kat Williams.
In other words..this movie looks horribly stupid.
We shouldnt even talk about it, it doesn’t deserve a minute of fame.
