As the narrative unfolds, the film presents a series of comedic sketches and spoofs, referencing movies such as “Mama,” “Paranormal Activity,” and “Black Swan.” The plot revolves around a couple, Dan (Simon Rex) and Jody (Ashley Tisdale), who discover strange occurrences after adopting three children found in a cabin in the woods.
In the climax, the film parodies the climax of “Mama,” with a supernatural entity revealed to be an ancient civilization’s sacred and cursed effigy. The climax also includes a spoof of the film “Evil Dead.”
In the resolution, the characters overcome the supernatural occurrences, and the film ends with Jody revealing that she is pregnant. Charlie Sheen, who appears in the film as himself, is revealed to be the father, and the baby is shown to have inherited his tiger blood.
The film concludes with a series of outtakes and bloopers during the end credits, common in the “Scary Movie” franchise. The post-credits scene features Heather Darcy (Lindsay Lohan) and Charlie Sheen in bed, where they are crushed by a safe falling from the ceiling.
“Scary Movie 5” received negative reviews from critics, with criticism directed towards its humor, lackluster parodies, and overall quality compared to earlier entries in the franchise. Despite the negative reviews, the film found some success at the box office.
