4.0 out of 5 stars Scream for Help!!, May 14, 2001

By	Kim Lynch (Manteca, California) - See all my reviews

Recently I watched this movie. The last time I seen it I believe I was fourteen years old. It was good then, and I still think it's good now. The movie is about a girl named Christy whom feels that her stepfather is trying to murder her mother, but nobody will believe her, especially her mother. This movie becomes very suspenseful with a scary ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely entertaining for ALL the wrong reasons., November 24, 2000

By	David A. Robson (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is easily one of the worst films ever made. When the sole rave review on the box is from the director of the movie ("SCREAM FOR HELP is one of the most terrifying scripts I've ever read."), you know what you're getting into. The best acting on display is one-dimensional (though most actors within are just coasting through, saying lines). As mentioned in other reviews, John Paul Jones' score is incredibly bombastic and over-the-top (though the closing theme, with cotton candy vocals by Yes' Jon Anderson, truly does inflict the killing blow). This movie has more laughs than many comedies. So many weird little details pop up on screen (our bosomy heroine wearing a t-shirt that proudly declares MUFFS, the way the school principal swings back and forth on his office chair, etc.) that you wonder if ANYONE directed this thing. You wonder what the set must have been like making this film and your mind reels.

I've returned to this film a number of times, thinking it can't be as weird as I remember it. And it never fails to show me something new every time. This is a very special motion picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low budget but is so intense!, May 22, 2004

By	chelsea johnson (Fairbanks, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews

I have to agree with Tony Lewis about the Dr's. blase way of saying "I'm sorry your daughter died". The other scene that stuck with me was When lacy informed christy cromwell that Paul fox got beaten up by the burgular", and that he will be back to kill her and her mother in about two hours. I have been watching this movie since i was fourteen, and am now thirty. My husband thinks i'm odd for watching this for 16 years! What a great movie!
