SCARY MOVIE is a US horror drama in which a young man enters a haunted house on Halloween night while an escaped convict is known to be loose in the neighbourhood.

violence
There is impressionistic, yet bloody, violence, such as a man chopping off another's hand. In another sequence, a man hacks at another off-screen, resulting in heavy bloodshed.
threat and horror
There are scenes of strong threat in which a young man is stalked by a Grim Reaper-like figure holding a scythe. The protagonist appears tentative throughout the film, easily spooked, and becomes increasingly unnerved by a mysterious presence.
sex
A young man makes a crude fellatio gesture. There are also verbal references to sex, including innuendo relating to oral sex.
drugs
A teen takes an unidentified pill. She appears intoxicated in subsequent scenes.
injury detail
There are scenes containing strong injury detail, such as a dead body with deep bloody gashes across the torso. In another sequence there is close-up emphasis on a man's severed arm. There are scenes inside a haunted house in which walls and people's clothing are made to appear as if they are covered in blood spatter. There is focus on bloody bladed weapons.
additional issues
There is brief sexual threat when a young man grabs hold of a young woman's arm, intending to lead her away. His actions are clearly disapproved of and quickly intervened with. There are scenes of bullying, such as a young man using a fake knife to feign stabbing another for laughs. There is discriminatory behaviour, including the term 'faggot', as well as a young man making sexist jokes to a young woman. References to mental health involve outdated language, such as 'mental' and 'psycho'. There is mild bad language ('shit', 'crap', 'ass'), accompanied by other milder terms ('God', 'hell', 'damn', 'butt' and 'moron').
