Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th (2000)

Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth is the kind of shameless, sugar-rush spoof that commits fully to its mission: cram as many slasher-movie in-jokes and gleefully dumb twists as possible into one brisk, silly ride. It has a surprisingly genial rhythm for a parody, letting the jokes build instead of just screaming references at you, and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen’s attention-hungry reporter gives the chaos a perfectly trashy tabloid pulse. The vibe is broad, cartoonish, and knowingly lowbrow—more late-night cable comfort food than razor-sharp satire—so if you like your comedy subtle, it may feel like too much. But if you’ve ever wanted a horror movie that’s more interested in cracking itself up than scaring you, this one is an easy, funny watch.

Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth wants to be a rapid-fire, Scary Movie-style spoof that mashes together slasher clichés, pop-culture winks, and a steady stream of dumb deaths. The problem is the humor is aggressively juvenile and often feels like one stretched gag rather than a clever escalation, so if you’re hoping for sharp parody or characters you can actually root for, you’ll likely be checking the runtime. Performances from Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Tom Arnold bring a bit of energy, and a few sight gags land if you’re in the mood for pure silliness. If your tolerance for lowbrow jokes is high and you just want background noise with horror references, it might do the job; otherwise, it’s the kind of “parody” that can feel more tiring than funny.
