‘Scary Movie’ Buried a Horror Parody Franchise Worth Resurrecting

The comedy-horror film Scary Movie was a huge hit when it came out in July 2000, becoming one of the year’s top-grossing R-rated movies. Its success quickly led to imitators, and one of those was Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. This film went straight to DVD just seven months after Scary Movie and wasn’t well-received by viewers or critics. But does Shriek deserve all the criticism it gets?
