A Haunted House (2013) 7/10

Starring : Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Cedric The Entertainer, Nick Swardson, David Koechner
Director : Michael Tiddes
Running Time : 87 mins

Malcolm Johnson (Wayans) and Kisha Davis (Atkins) move into a new house together only to discover that the place is haunted when Malcolm records their sex session, so they set up more cameras to find out what’s going on. When Kisha starts having sex with the spirit, Malcolm becomes jealous and brings in a string of paranormal experts to get rid of the spectre.

I was surprised that this wasn’t as over the top as previous movies by the Wayans family, and that it basically only parodies Paranormal Activity – with a hint of The Devil Inside - without slipping into any ridiculous unrelated skits. Granted there’s the usual amount of sex jokes you’d expect from the Wayans brothers, but this beats the other Movie Movies hands down by focusing on one target and not blindly lampooning every other movie and celebrity that has come along in recent years.
