MUMBAI: Star Movies will be premiering Scary Movie 4 on 18 April at 9 pm. The movie is directed by David Zucker and stars Anna Faris, Chingy and Regina Hall.

Scary Movie 4 is the latest installment in the popular horror-slash-humor series. Anna Faris (Just Friends) reprises her role as Cindy Campbell, the eternally unlucky and hilariously clumsy heroine.

In a dead-on parody of The Grudge, Campbell is assigned as full-time nurse to a mysterious old lady in a house haunted by the ghost of a small boy. The movie also takes potshots at War of the Worlds as next door lives Tom Ryan (Craig Bierko), a divorced dock worker who has to protect his kids from an alien invasion.

Joined by Cindy’s ever-present sidekick, the flirtatious Brenda Meeks (Hall), the protagonists must save the planet from aliens and solve the mystery of the ghostly boy. Along the way, the movie manages to spoof a range of moves, from The Village and Saw to Oscar winners Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby.
