A couple begin to experience some unusual activity after bringing their newborn son home from the hospital. With the help of home-surveillance cameras and a team of experts, they learn they're being stalked by a nefarious demon.
Scary Movie 5 is an upcoming American horror comedy parody film, and the fifth film in the Scary Movie franchise. It is being distributed by Dimension Films, a division of The Weinstein Company. The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by David Zucker. It is scheduled for theatrical release on April 12, 2013.
Scary Movie 5 is the first installment of the franchise not to feature protagonists Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) or Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), who appeared in the first four movies. Like the previous two films in the franchise, Scary Movie 5 is rated PG-13.
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.
