Official Score = 1 Devil[/caption]In 1996, Director Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street), created yet another classic horror movie series in the, 'Scream series'. Now Scream had been meant to be a spoof on the horror movie genre...
The only problem with that is that with all great spoofs there has to be an element of serious and continuing comedy in the movie that, that spoof is making fun of! Fortunately for Dimension and the cast and crew that made that movie, that with the lack of continuing comedy through out the first, 'Scream' movie, that everything else that makes horror movies great was in there!
And thusly Scream would go on in to the anals of horror movie history as one of the great slasher horror movie series of the 1990s!
But if you thought that was all... Look again!
Because in 2000, the Wayan Brothers created an awesome spoof comedy movie that makes fun of some of the greatest scarfests of the last 20 years called Scary Movie!
The first Scary Movie, which starred Anna Farris (The Dictator) in this case was actually a spoof of a spoof in that it spoofed, Scream (1996)!
Now unfortunately you can only go so far with spoofing spoofs of horror movies I am afraid, because following on the heels of both the 'Scream franchise' and the, 'Scary Movie franchise' came, Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The Thirteenth (2000).
This movie, which was written by: Sue Bailey (Battle Bots) and Joe Nelms (In Between) and which was Directed by: John Blanchard (The Kids In The Hall), tells the story of the new kid, in town who has a tragic past (played by: Harley Cross), and with whom is sent to Bulimia Falls High School!

Ghost Face from, 'Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The Thirteenth' (2000) as he is chasing down, 'Martina' (Majandra Delfino)![/caption]Bulimia Hills High is a school where anything can happen... And usually does! From the most harmless of pranks (Wedgies and stuff) to having one of their students being, 'Chucky' from the Child's Play series!
Anyway through a series of attacks from the masked serial killer (who looks very similar to Ghost Face from, Scream). Dawson and his friends will have to try and escape from this masked maniac in the worst way possible!

It will be up to this group of friends to stop, 'Ghost Face' before Ghost Face can take them all out... Possibly literally![/caption]Now on the positive side, the truth is, is that this movie does have a pretty awesome cast! Included in this cast are, Kim Griest (Don't Throw Mama From The Train), rapper, 'Coolio', Danny Strong (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Tiffany Thiessen (Pandemic), Majandro Delfino (Roswell), Julie Benz (Dexter), and Tom Arnold (True Lies) to name a few!
And their are some seriously funny moments in this movie...
I also thought that I would mention the fact that Danny Strong who was on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, was reunited with actress Julie Benz who was also on the same show at the same time he was!
But beyond that, I wouldn't be expecting much more. It is fun mindless humor that is worth pulling out every once in awhile, but if your looking for true scares, this may not be the movie for you!
Unfortunately there is no trailer to view at this time....
