A Haunted House

When I first saw the previews for A Haunted House, I just knew it would be hilarious. Not only was it a parody of scary movies that I enjoyed, such as Paranormal Activity and The Exorcist, but it stars Marlon Wayans from Scary Movie, Little Man, and White Chicks, one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately, I was terribly wrong. Not only was it all over the place, but its over-the-top, inappropriate, humor made the movie unbearable to watch. 

In the movie, Malcolm (Wayans) and his girlfriend Keisha (Essence Atkins) move into their new home together. After a few days, Keisha notices some strange thinks happening in the house and suspects that there is a ghost that lives inside. At first Malcolm is in denial, but with the help of a few ghostbusters, they  find out that Keisha was right. Soon enough, they figure out that the ghost is actually a demon that is out to get Keisha, and Keisha remembers that a long time ago, she made a deal with the devil for some Louboutins.

While there were a few funny moments, most of the movie revolves around overly sexual and borderline offensive jokes. Some of the movie did not make sense, and there were parts that didn't flow together. I guess there wasn't much to expect from a spoof movie, since most spoofs follow the same blueprint of going to ridiculous lengths to get a cheap laugh.
