6. A Haunted House
The Wayans brothers should probably retire immediately, and just think themselves lucky that anyone ever spent any money on seeing them in movies. Since making a few waves early on with the surprisingly not awful Scary Movie, their output has been increasingly empty-headed on a predictable scale, culminating in this fetid turd of a spoof, which attempts to spoof the modern state of haunted house movies. You are wholly forgiven if you haven't seen it. In fact, many will probably envy you.
Why So Ridiculous? A Haunted House is a parody of a gimmick franchise in Paranormal Activity, and as such offers very little opportunity for the audience to be invested in the subject enough to care about the spoof. The film is arguably the most watered down comedy in the history of cinema. There is no value in spoofing something so self-consciously slight as Paranormal Activity as nobody emerges looking clever, which is a fundamental part of the parody process, and one that most modern spoofs fundamentally don't seem to understand. Perversely, the only thing the film manages is to invest the subject of its spoofing gaze with more importance than it could ever hope to gain with traditional audiences, and will give future audiences the wholly wrong impression that we actually care enough about that genre of found footage bumps in the night to parody it. Films like this show modern film-makers up as the scatter-gun morons that some of them are - without any real eye for a comedic response, they instead offer a reduced-fat, infantile mess whose legacy will be even more toxic than the awful primary subject matter they seek to spoof.
