SYNOPSIS

Scary Movie 4 What do you get when you mix fearless comedic genius with the latest box-office blockbusters? You guessed it. This time around, the ever-naive Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), seeking a career in home healthcare, finds work with a creepy old lady in an even creepier old house haunted by a ghostly presence.

Our fearless heroine catapults into action once again struggling to decipher ominous messages from the beyond, looking for love in some very weird places and trying to save the world from mass destruction. As she struggles to discover life-saving answers, Cindy encounters horrific plane crashes, bodacious blind girls, village idiots, disheveled rappers, kinky contraptions, psycho survivalists, alien sphincters and even Oprah! Its a relentless invasion of non-stop, fall-on-the-floor laughing jokes.
