Histeria

This film, like 'Cherry Falls,' was scheduled for wide-screen release but due to some other films - other horrible films - they were not. Instead, the USA Network, which is widely known for its pornography that consists of the Pizza Guy entering, then a cut, then the Pizza Guy leaving, aired these two films and others.

I believe this was the jewel of the bunch. Unlike 'Scary Movie,' it provided humor via dialogue - and not a penis impaling. The movie kept throwing joke after joke at you, at times making it hard to breathe. From the cheerleader lapping Scotch in a water fountain in school to the surprise 'dastardly' ending, the film did what many thought impossible: parody a parody.

And yes, even before (and after) 'Scary Movie' left its path of destruction throughout audiences all over the world.

Now there were some moments and jokes that kept this from being a complete waste of time but most of the humor was so outdated and unfunny. It was hard to get through.

I don't know why, but I didn't hate this movie. Maybe it was because I was just in the mood for something stupid, or maybe it was because of Majandra Delfino's long legs, but it was worth a smile or two. This movie might not win any awards, but if you want to see something kinda light, go for it. If you're looking for something that's going to be interesting, deep or meaningful, rent something else.

As compared to Scary Movie, this movie will obviously not appeal to the mass audience, however to those of us who enjoy overall "bad" movies this is a hit. I spent the money to rent this and have to say that I am happy. Personally I thought the beginning drab, with only one or two somewhat funny parts, however as the movie goes on to me, it gets better. I have to say that I did NOT like Scary Movie as much as everyone else, in truth I found the sexual humor overly done, this is quite the reverse. This pokes fun at ALL aspects of a teen slasher movie, not just the fornication. If you like pointless films, but your friends don't then save this diamond in the rough for a lonely night when you have nothing better to do. ((And before any of you comment I have quite the active social life))

Okay first things first... This is NOT a rip-off of Scary Movie. It was in production way before Scary Movie started filming and was slated to be released in theaters. However it got delayed and Scary Movie beat em to the punch. Knowing that people (especially now as I can see from the previous posts) were going to think it a rip-off if released right behind SM, the producers opted for a tv movie instead. This is the truth as it was mention on Entertaiment Tonight. So please, STOP CALLING IT A RIP OFF!

Now to the review This is actully a pretty cool parody. Unlike Scary Movie (which I also liked btw) not all the jokes are riddled with sex gags and toliet humor, so of it harken back to the days of Airplane. I love the bit where the characters are at the party and discussing what to do in a horror situations. That was just hilarous especially with the cameo by the dude who played J.J on Good Times and the Pop Up video chase.

I'll admit some of it doesn't work but that how parody goes, its hit or miss and Scary Movie had the same type of problems. Overall I say its on par with SM. Both have unique sense of humor, it just a shame that SIYKWIDLFtT will only be seen by a few and sadly be wrongly branded as a rip-off just because of circumstance and bad timining. It really is a good movie if you give it the chance.
