The New York TimesAndy WebsterApr 12, 2013
Marlon Wayans’s satire “A Haunted House” got to “Paranormal” first, and for a much smaller budget delivered bigger laughs. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckApr 12, 2013
This latest installment of the horror movie spoof franchise is mainly notable for its Charlie Sheen/Lindsay Lohan cameos. Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoApr 15, 2013
Not that there’s all manner of comedy craftsmanship demanding study here, but the movie does seem to be a funny jumble of contradictory impulses. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithApr 12, 2013
This is a horror movie that’s really a supposed comedy; she’s (Lohan) a supposed comedy actress who’s actually scary. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichApr 12, 2013
Somehow, it actually looks cheaper than "Paranormal Activity." It's less funny, too. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan RabinApr 12, 2013
Scary Movie 5 aspires to timeliness, but its comic sensibility is so groaningly retro that the film features a series of tributes to The Benny Hill Show and its signature ditty, “Yakety Sax.” Read full review

Total FilmNeil SmithApr 15, 2013
That every jibe lands woefully wide is no surprise, though we’ll give leading lady Ashley Tisdale credit for giving her all to a film that mercifully won’t be around long enough to do any lasting damage to her post-High School Musical career. Read full review

EmpireKim NewmanApr 13, 2013
Lacking a single honest laugh, this is shoddy by comparison with the other Scary Movie sequels… which throws it in a pit with Transylmania, Breaking Wind and Stan Helsing. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierApr 12, 2013
Luckily, folks like Snoop and good sports like Sheen and, yes, Lohan, break up the monotony. Until, like an undead beastie, the boredom and dumb jokes come roaring back. Read full review

If you think three months is an impossible amount of time to write and produce a feature film, well, it is. Read full review

VarietyJustin ChangApr 12, 2013
Audiences not inclined to laugh at the sight of a baby’s head catching fire are encouraged to at least chuckle at the various gags made at the expense of Jody and Dan’s housekeeper (a game Lidia Porto), who satisfies many of the picture’s comedic-target prerequisites by being plus-sized, hysterically religious and Latina.

Scary Movie 5 is so massively un-enjoyable, a hate crime against cinema, a ringing indictment of the depths commercialism will go to in search of the lowest common denominator. Read full review

SM5 tanked opening weekend, which may toll the knell for this property. Read full review

Lazy, boring, vile and tragically unfunny attempt at a horror-film spoof. Read full review
