Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) is back. After he exorcized the demons from his ex-girlfriend, and still grieving her loss, but he’s ready to try to move on with his new girlfriend Megan (Jaime Pressley) and her two children. But when they move into the house of their dreams, paranormal events start up again, and Malcolm comes to the rescue once again trying to save himself and his new family from that strange goings on.

This is another Wayans parody of all the recent horror films. They’re all here. As long as they keep cranking out the scary films, the Wayans family is going to keep making fun on them. This one is just what you’d expect and you either love these or hate them. For me, it’s a good distraction to spend 90 minutes or so laughing at all the references to the recent crop. For some people, they are stupid and silly and a waste of time. So it’s up to you. But what you see is what you get. It’s a bunch of clever silliness paying tribute to how dumb all these horror slasher films are. It’s raunchy, violent, and very funny at the same time. Marlon has some good backup here. There’s Cedric the Entertainer playing his usual con man type character, and Gabriel (Fluffy) Iglesias as the Mexican neighbor always putting him on. Both bring a lot of comedy expertise to the movie. So there’s no groundbreaking comedy here, just clever banter about the state of the recent paranormal world.

Hayley is a singer and a songwriter and a wife and mother. But she just lost her brother and collaborator and is grieving, when suddenly she meets a talented guitarist who wants to help her get back on track in her career. But he’s obsessed with her and she soon finds out he wants much more than to just make music with her. This creepy suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Emily Browning does a pretty good job as Haley, the girl who is something to everybody. She does a good job of displaying the frustration of everybody wanting something from her. When she finally finds someone to help her through it, it turns around and he’s the one demanding the most from her. The story is very suspenseful, and has you on the edge of your seat. The best part is perhaps the story itself. The screenplay is a good one. There is a pretty decent rock score as well. This is sort of like Fatal Attraction is some ways but the twists and turns in the end as we find out what really happened turns everything around and suddenly it all makes sense. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, and it’s a decent suspenseful erotic thriller with a rock and roll bend.
