After parodying the
blaxploitation films of the 1970s in
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka,
Keenen Ivory Wayans takes aim at
slasher films of the 1980s and 1990s in this
raunchy satire, which was produced under the clumsy but inarguably appropriate title
Scream If You Know What I Did Last Halloween. As you might expect, a group of teenagers -- not-terribly-bright Buffy (
Shannon Elizabeth), her best friend Brenda (
Regina Hall), stoner Shorty (
Marlon Wayans), fey football player Ray (
Shawn Wayans), loudmouthed Greg (
Lochlyn Munro), sexually overexcited Bobby (
Jon Abrahams), and his prim girlfriend Cindy (
Anna Faris) -- are on the run from a maniacal killer who is looking for revenge after the kids accidentally kill a man following an auto accident. They also find themselves having to contend with intrusive reporter Gail Hailstorm (
Cheri Oteri) and eccentric high school principal Squiggly (
David L. Lander). Incidentally, the title
Scary Movie is something of an inside joke: it was the working title for
Scream, the movie that kick-started the mid-'90s
slasher film revival.
