While ‘Haunted House’ promises more straight-up comedy and less outright parody than ‘Scary Movie,’ the film still draws heavily from the popular ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise and other found-footage horror movies for its source material.
Wayans and Cedric the Entertainer are among the comedic cast.
Rated R for sexual content, language and drug use. Runtime: 1 hour, 26 minutes.
