A Haunted House (2013)


What better way to clear the house of spirits after you've just watched 8 Paranormal Activity movies in a row? The found footage genre and all of its tropes were ripe for parody and there was no better person to take it on than Marlon Wayans, one-half of those responsible for Scary Movie 1 and 2. This movie is uproariously funny, but doubly so if you're familiar with the material being lampooned (sometimes shot by shot). What a refreshing way to look through the lens of that series and exploit it for all its dirty, highly perverted potential. I laughed my ass off. Nothing is sacred here. They couldn't make another movie like this today.
