But when the chaos expands into Jody’s job as a ballet dancer and Dan’s career as an Ape researcher, they realize they’re family is being stalked by a nefarious demon.

Movie Critics
…The latest and worst entry in the Scary Movie franchise… [D]
Darren Franich, Entertainment Weekly
…There is a plot thread — about a couple (Ms. Tisdale and Simon Rex) who adopt children haunted by a nefarious mother-spirit — but forget it. …
Andy Webster, The New York Times
…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. [1/5]
Kim Newman, Empire
…moves between frenzied and stoned… eye-rolling antics abound in the latest horror-film parody, where even Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan are barely believable as themselves. …
Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times
…so tediously offensive and pointless that the high-water mark of humor comes in the form of Snoop and Mac Miller ambling through the woods looking for a pot farm while profanely bantering about how so many scary movies take place in a cabin in the woods… [1/5]
Bob Hoose, Plugged In
…Spoofing movies ranging from Black Swan to Mama to Paranormal Activity, this installment of the profitable series is woefully, painfully unfunny. …
Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
