Scary Movie: 1 line contrast ×1
-
contrast (contrast):
Evil Dead II → Scary Movie.
Evil Dead 2 fuses comedy with horror history rather than upending it; making fun of horror usually leads to Scary Movie, not an actually funny and scary film.
“making fun of horror usually leads you down the road to scary movie.”
