Scary movie is a movie directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and was published by Wayan bros entertainment. The film is a dark comedy which can be also known as a spoof. A spoof film is a film which takes scenes and elements from other films and is exaggerated by adding humour to it. This genre was designed to take the humour out of scary films so that it appeals to a wider audience so that the film makers obtain more money.
The main narrative of Scary movie was a based on Scream, where typical conventions and techniques were used in similar ways. Props such as the mask of the killer, the weapon of the knife and the voice of the killer have been all used but changed to give Scary movie its own feel to it.
The film being a spoof mimics other film of different genres besides the slasher, a prime example of this would be the matrix scene that was used in the film. The scene of the matrix did break the conventions of the slasher genre and challenged it which gave it a bigger impact for the audience as it was the technique has not been used previously.
