Superhero Movie (27-Mar-2008)

Director: Craig Mazin

Writer: Craig Mazin

Keywords: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Superheroes, Spoof

Spoof flick parodies a number of well-worn superhero franchises and tropes.

ABSTRACT
Introverted high schooler Rick Riker is attacked by a number of strange creatures on a school field trip to a shady laboratory; at much the same time, laboratory owner Lou Landers transforms himself into supervillain Hourglass. This parody of Spiderman is followed up by a number of send-ups of The Avengers and other genre-relevant franchises and cliches, produced in a style echoing that of the Scary Movie franchise.
