In perfect conjunction with the fourth Paranormal Activity arriving in theaters today (which we highly recommend avoiding), the first trailer for a spoof of the series has arrived. Before Scary Movie 5 can tackle it this summer, Marlon Wayans has spearheaded his own effort in A Haunted House.
With cheap jokes and generally unfunny gags on display here, you know what you are getting into for this early January release — and if you didn’t, the inclusion of Nick Swardson should be enough of a deciding factor. From Dance Flick producer Michael Tiddes (who steps up to direct here), check it out below for the film also starring Cedric the Entertainer, David Koechner and Essence Atkins.
Synopsis:
In an outrageous send-up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other “found footage” movies, A Haunted House features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins), who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted; it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.
A Haunted House opens on January 11th.
