Another spoof of the Scream/I Know What You Did Last Summer horror gene involving a group of popular high school students stalked by a bumbling masked killer while a dogged reporter named Hagitha Utslay covers the story and of the plight of the prime suspect and transfer student Dawson. First off, this is NOT a rip-off of scary movie. It was made before scary movie and was scheduled for a theatricle release but since scary movie beat it to the punch line it was given a direct-to-video release instead. In all honesty, I wish "Shriek" had gone to theatres over the awful scary movie. While there are a few weak moments to be found here, most of the jokes are quite funny or hilarious and the fun, campy atmosphere make it way more enjoyable than scary movie. My rating for "Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth"-7.5/10.
This movie is very much like Scary Movie. Either you laugh at all the silliness and jokes at other movies' expense, or you sit there frustrated thinking it is far too stupid to be funny. Remember, this movie was meant to be a joke!
That aside, there are hundreds of references to other films, some subtle, most not. There is a take on Grease's "Greased Lightning" which had me rolling in my seat, and at one point, Chucky makes a cameo appearance. This movie had a lot of stupid moments, but I would have to say it works as a whole. You have to be prepared for yet-another farcical Scream parody, if you go in expecting the finely-tuned humour of Billy Crystal or Woody Allen, you will be sorely disappointed.
Watch the background for many, many film references. The obvious slapstick gags sometimes overshadow the more humourous background references, some of which actually give this film second viewing possibilities. You will definitely not see all of the jokes this movie has to offer in one viewing (of course, many of you will not be able to stomach watching it a second time).
As with any parody, many of the jokes are predictable and somewhat lame. There are a lot of scatological references (expected), even some scenes pretty well ripped-off from Scary Movie (the entire first sequence), but there are some original bits which tip the scale in it's favour.
I gave it a 6 which is probably very generous, however I went in expecting a childish display of visual gags and got exactly what I expected. I think it was the "Greased Lightning" bit which pushed this from a 5 to a 6, it is one of those memorable moments in a comedy which when you think back on, always seems to make you chuckle.

There not much that I can about this movie.
I liked it, It not great not even that good and total over the top plot but it still a lot of fun.
The plot It's your typical high school where a group of friends including Dawson (Harley), Slab (Rex) and Boner (Strong) are enjoying school life. Until, as serial killer turns up and starts chasing after them one by one. No one knows who this killer is, as he obviously slips around the school. Will they finally unmask the killer before it's too late?
If you didn't like the movie, a least you get to see Kelly from saved by the bell
This movie spoofs are Scream, Friday 13th,Halloween, I know what you did last summer,Chucky, Christine and even Grease.
This movie add anything to movie, when ever it wants, it not rip off of scary movie. it just other good/bad spoof movie
This movie made me laugh 5/10

This movie was exactly what I expected, an average parody with tons of sight gags. It won't have you doubled over in laughter but there are some good jokes.
A spoof of several horror movies. Kids at a high school are being murdered by a maniac in a mask. A TV reporter investigates.
Not exactly original: horror spoof movies were dime-a-dozen in the early 2000s, and almost as common as horror movies involving crazed mask-wearing killers bumping off high school kids. Isn't too bad though: some good laughs and is reasonably entertaining. Never takes itself seriously, which is a very useful quality in a parody.
Much more watchable than I expected.

- TriviaThe film was originally intended to have a theatrical release. However, because of the big similarities with the much more popular Scary Movie (2000) (which was actually filmed after this film), it ended up being released direct to video. In the DVD's audio commentary, the actors refer to it as "that other movie" without ever saying the title.
- GoofsYou can see that the killer is actually wearing a flesh-colored thong in the shower, when he's supposed to be naked.
- Quotes
School PA: [voice-over] Good morning students. Cheerleader tryouts will be held today after school in the gym. You must be 18 and comfortable with partial nudity.
- Crazy creditsIn Loving Memory of Louise Nemeth
- Alternate versionsThe TV version makes the following changes:
- a less offensive word is used in place of tit when the screen flashes "gratuitous tit shot"
- During the part that tells what happened to Slab, a still picture of him is shown where his eyebrows have grown in from steroids; theatrical version has a still shot of his head exploding.
