And there's a ghost, too!
The Story:
Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) has his girlfriend Kisha (Essence Atkins) move into his house with him. Malcolm didn't ask for the demon to come along with her.
Ah yes, a parody of the "found footage" horror movies that are box office hits.
And, they do some of the same stunts, which actually generate some suspense and chills, but they are buried deep and wide amongst the throw it at the wall and see if it sticks comedy.
Now, for those that have seen the Scary Movie franchise, you probably know exactly what kind of comedy you're going to get.
When Marlon Wayans is your most grounded character in the film, you know there's going to be issues. :)
You've got Nick Swardson playing Chip the gay psychic who is infatuated with Malcolm, and is more concerned with getting with Malcolm than getting rid of the demon.
Then you have Cedric the Entertainer at the end of the film as the exorcist. Small part, but he has a good time with it.
Whether or not they are successful ridding the house of the demon...
Well, I just saw that a sequel is in the works, so that should give you a clue.
Available to stream instantly as of this writing on Netflix.
Final Grade: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Nope, I'm good on this one. There were some amusing gags in the film, but not enough to warrant subsequent viewings. Yes, I will likely watch the sequel though. :)
