Scary Movie 5

Review
In theaters January 11, 2013

Common Sense Media says

New sequel promises more crude humor and bodily fluids.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Scary Movie 5 is the latest installment in the popular horror/comedy franchise. Despite the talent involved -- like plucky star Anna Faris and director David Zucker -- these movies usually simply copy memorable scenes from famous horror movies, throwing in raunchy jokes and bodily fluids. (A likely target this time might be the Paranormal Activity movies.) Expect violence and blood, as well as strong sexual innuendo and language. Drugs and alcohol are sometimes an issue in this series as well.
