Our take
Scary Movie (2026) is confirmed as the sixth franchise entry, a rebootquel bringing back Cindy, Brenda, Shorty, and Ray to spoof modern horror. It is rated R for crude sexual content, graphic nudity, strong comic violence, drug use, and language throughout. Expect beheadings played for laughs, explicit sex jokes, marijuana use, and slurs played as edgy comedy. Not for kids; even many adults will find it too gross and mean-spirited for family viewing

Story (may spoil tone)
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer's crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.

Talk after watching
- Parody exaggerates horror tropes on purpose. When does spoof cross into offense?
- The Core Four return after many years. Why do reboots bring back old characters?
- The film mocks recent horror hits. Which references did your teen recognize?
