After newspaper reporter Cindy (Anna Faris) accidentally watches a strange videotape that causes the viewer to die within a week, she discovers the tape is only one of many weird happenings. Local farmers Tom (Charlie Sheen) and George (Simon Rex) have reported massive crop circles appearing overnight in their fields. Cindy finds a link between the tape and the crop circles with help from the U.S. president (Leslie Nielsen) and a kindly aunt (Queen Latifah).

Critics Consensus

Though an improvement over the second Scary Movie, the laughs are still inconsistent.

The first one was original, the second was still funny, but the third installment is on autopilot.

Just middling funny, with no truly memorable high points and a sum impact that goes poof! before you've left the parking garage.

Not everything hits the target and the pop-culture spoofing is over a decade out of date... but he tosses so many of them off with a wink and a grin that they catch you by surprise.

Es una película absurda aunque muy divertida. Es una parodia a películas como El Aro, Sexto Sentido, Señales y demás, pero que aprovecha bastante bien los estereotipos y los tan comunes huecos argumentales de las películas de terror y de otro tipo. Cuenta con actores excelentes, situaciones y diálogos que se vuelven emblemáticos por ser hilarantes e irreverentes. Simplemente es una película que marcó a toda una generación. Recomendadísima para aquellos que les gustan aquellas películas absurdas en las que se burlan de todo sin tapujos como sátiras y parodias aunque deben tener en cuenta que se trata de una película burda y boba. Una vez aclarado eso, véanla bajo su propio riesgo.

My least favorite scary movie, with scary movie 7 coming out I'm rewatching all of them until the new one comes out. This one I found the stupid humor not funny

While occasionally humorous, the comedic elements are inconsistent and overly reliant on specific references, which may limit its broader appeal and enduring relevance.
