This looked like good fun from the trailers and does start of strong but quickly loses its way.
The production and acting is pretty good, I liked a lot of the characters and the initial premise is good.
The main problem I have with this is the tone - it doesn't really know what it what's to be.
"Scary movie" goes full on silly where as "Bodies, Bodies, Bodies" plays it straighter with more ironic humour.
This flip-flops around somewhere in the middle.
The things that happen are silly and the characters become more stereotypically as the film goes on - but there is not much fun to be had here.
A lot of the humour is overly simplistic.
Obviously you should go into this expecting white-people jokes but, like so many other parodies, there is no actual joke.
Just a wink to the camera and a - "white people am I right?"
The use of the N word is so prolific it starts to jar, like giving a ten year old permission to swear for an hour and watching them go at it.
Perhaps this is to parody horror movies - I couldn't tell.
Not an awful film but it seemed to really drag as the characters bumbled from one room to another waving their hands around and screaming - only pausing long enough to make a cheeky comment.
This is not awful - it is just very mediocre and is probably tilted towards a black, U. S audience.
