Twenty-six years after surviving the most recognizable Halloween costume in cinematic history, the Core Four are back to prove that trauma doesn’t end—it just gets a sequel, a prequel, and eventually a TikTok dance. Yes, the gang from Scary Movie is reuniting to take on the most terrifying monster of all: Hollywood’s complete and utter lack of original ideas.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall are strapping on their running shoes and oversized t-shirts once again, ready to sprint through every horror trope that’s been beaten to death and resurrected for a quick cash grab. This time, they’re not just taking down Ghostface—they’re taking down the entire horror-industrial complex. Think of it as a group therapy session, but with more stabbing and fewer breakthroughs.
The plot? Oh, it’s a masterpiece of chaos. The Core Four find themselves stalked by a killer who’s seen one too many “elevated horror” films and has decided that subtlety is overrated. Along the way, they’ll encounter reboots that no one asked for, remakes that somehow make the original worse, and prequels that explain things no one needed explained. And let’s not forget the spin-offs—because apparently, every side character deserves their own origin story, even if it’s just to explain why they were so annoying in the first place.
Michael Tiddes, the director, is no stranger to poking fun at pop culture. He’s the guy who once made a movie about a guy who thinks he’s a ghost. (Spoiler: He’s not. It’s just a metaphor for his dating life.) Now, he’s back to remind us that horror movies are just as formulaic as rom-coms, but with more jump scares and fewer happy endings.
The cast is a who’s who of comedy royalty, including the Wayans family (because apparently, comedy runs in their DNA), Anna Faris (who’s perfected the art of looking terrified while still being adorable), and Regina Hall (who can deliver a sarcastic one-liner faster than you can say “Get out!”). Oh, and let’s not forget the fresh faces—because nothing says “we’re relevant” like throwing in a few TikTok stars to appeal to the youth.
Scary Movie 6 hits cinemas on 5th June 2026, just in time for summer. So, if you’re looking for a movie that will make you laugh, scream, and question why Hollywood keeps making the same movie over and over again, this is the one for you. Just don’t expect any of it to make sense—because, let’s be honest, neither does the horror genre anymore.
And remember, folks: if you see a masked killer chasing you, just run in a straight line. It’s not like they’re going to take a shortcut through the woods or anything. Oh wait, they totally will. Because that’s how horror movies work. 🎃🔪
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
