Film Overview: • Release Date: April 14, 2006 (USA). • Director: David Zucker, who also directed Scary Movie 3 and is known for Airplane! and The Naked Gun. • Cast: Stars Anna Faris (Cindy Campbell), Regina Hall (Brenda Meeks), and Craig Bierko (Tom Ryan), with numerous celebrity cameos including Leslie Nielsen, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dr. Phil. • Plot: Cindy Campbell finds herself in a haunted house while a massive alien "Tripod" invasion threatens the world. She must uncover a secret to stop the invasion while navigating various absurd scenarios. Story: In Scary Movie 4 (2006), the recently unemployed Cindy Campbell finds work as a caretaker for a catatonic woman in a house haunted by a ghostly Japanese boy. While navigating this supernatural mystery, she falls for her dim-witted neighbor, Tom Ryan, just as massive alien "tri-iPods" launch a global invasion. As Tom flees with his estranged children, Cindy follows the ghost's cryptic clues to a secluded, 19th-century-style village where she hopes to find the secret to stopping the attack. The disparate plotlines eventually collide within the alien ship, where Cindy and Tom are captured and forced to endure absurd torture traps orchestrated by a vengeful puppet. Cindy ultimately discovers the puppet is the ghost boy's biological father and is seeking revenge for his son's death; she successfully pleads for humanity's survival after demonstrating the power of love and sacrifice. The film concludes with the invasion being called off, followed by a series of nonsensical epilogues including a manic parody of Tom Cruise's infamous couch-jumping incident on Oprah.
