Scary Movie


While Scary Movie parodies a number of films, the main plot spoofs the films Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Six friends - Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams), Buffy Gilmore (Shannon Elizabeth), Greg Phillipe (Lochlyn Munro), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans), and Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall) - are being stalked by a serial killer. The serial killer, who is dressed like the masked killer in the Scream trilogy, is after them because of an accident they caused last Halloween (they ran over a fisherman and dumped his body in a river). The movie opens with the stalking and death of Drew Decker (Carmen Electra). They all find themselves being stalked, (in weird ways), and one by one they each get killed. First being killed is Greg Phillipe, the football jock who goes out with Buffy Gilmore. Next up is Buffy Gilmore, the preppy cheerleader, and Greg's girlfriend. Brenda next dies, but instead of getting killed by the killer, the audience in the movie theater kills her for being obnoxious at the movies. Brenda is the tomboy girl, and girlfriend of Ray. Bobby and Ray die next, as Bobby was Cindy's ex-boyfriend, and Ray being the straight (but gay) dude, who is dating Brenda. Near the end of the film, it appears that Bobby and Ray are the killers, until the real killer attacks them, and Cindy manages to drive him off. Cindy, now the only survivor (Brenda, Ray, and Shorty come back in Scary Movie 2), finds out that Doofy, Buffy's retarded brother, is the killer, faking mental retardation.
