Scary Movie is a meta-horror comedy and the first franchise installment in over a decade from legendary creators Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans, who return to write and produce together for the first time in 25 years. Directed by Michael Tiddes, the story centers on Anna Faris (Mom) as the iconic Cindy Campbell, a hardened, cynical mother who has spent years trying to move past her traumatic teenage encounters with Ghostface. Her chaotic but orderly life is thrown into immediate panic when the exact same masked killer suddenly resurfaces to stalk a new generation of tech-savvy teens, instantly thrusting Cindy back into the spotlight. This unexpected threat forces her to juggle immense survivalist responsibilities with the dramatic pressures of protecting her family from a relentless killer.
As Cindy attempts to unmask the copycat killer, she must simultaneously navigate a complicated and demanding group of old friends and eccentric allies. This includes her wildly entertaining and unfiltered best friend, Brenda Meeks (played by Regina Hall), her perpetually high and chaotic friend Shorty Meeks (played by Marlon Wayans), and the closeted, unpredictable Ray Wilkins (played by Shawn Wayans). The film is a blend of the franchise's signature raunchy slapstick and modern pop-culture satire, exploring the collision of legacy horror tropes with the messy, tech-driven realities of 2026, all while Cindy attempts to manage a veteran crew of survivors—including a frantic newcomer played by Kenan Thompson—in a high-stakes battle against a killer who is mocking their every move.
