Intertextuality

Intertexuality is the term used to describe when films borrows certain things from films. The audience may recongnise certain camera angels al well as asects of mise en scene, sound and editing that have been featured originally in another film.


An example of the use of Intertextuality is Scary Movie 2 using a scene from the Exorcist.

The Exorcist is a 1973 horror film directed by William Friedkin, adapted by William Peter Blatty from his 1971 novel of the same name. The book was inspired by the exorcism case of Robbie Mannheim,^[3][4] dealing with the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother’s desperate attempts to win back her daughter through an exorcism conducted by two priests.

Scary Movie 2 borrows the famous head turning part in one of the earlier scenes.

Scary Movie 2 is a 2001 horror comedy parody film. It is the second film of the Scary Movie franchise. Though part of the first Scary Movie's tagline read "...No sequel," this film's tagline compensated by adding "We lied".
