The latest instalment in the parody pentalogy continues spoofing horror films with a cast including Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Snoop Dogg and Mike Tyson. David Zucker, director of the third and fourth Scary Movies, takes the mickey out of the Final Destination, Paranormal Activity and Child's Play series amongst others.
Happily-married couple Dan (Simon Rex) and Jody (Ashley Tisdale) begin to notice some bizarre activity once they bring their newborn baby Aiden home from the hospital. But when the chaos expands into Jody's job as a ballet dancer and Dan's career as an ape researcher, they realise their family is being stalked by a nefarious demon.

"Numbingly inane."

Variety
Variety"A laughter vacuum whose race to parody the likes of Mama and the new Evil Dead remake didn't stretch to writing actual jokes."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Most effective are high-speed video sequences (a “Paranormal” staple) used for silent-movie physical comedy."

The New York Times
The New York Times"For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Woefully, painfully unfunny."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Lacking a single honest laugh, this is shoddy by comparison with the other Scary Movie sequels."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"85 or so minutes of random nonsense from filmmakers so clearly dispirited by their mercenary assignment that they seem to be running out the clock from the very first frame."
