Scream at the Devil

SCREAM AT THE DEVIL is an awful and pointless independent horror production. The cover has been designed to make it look like your standard possession flick, but this is nothing like. Instead it's the humdrum tale of your ordinary housewife who begins to suffer from mental illness and finds herself assailed by weird, demonic visions and other phenomena.

I'm not sure what the market is for a film like this, which so obviously must have been a non-starter for those making it. It lacks a single sympathetic character in the whole cast and for 90% of the running time the viewer is saddled with the below-par acting of Shari Shattuck, an ageing former TV star who fails to hold the attention at all. Oh yeah, and Tony Todd cameos as a cop, but he's no reason to tune into this silly and pointless production.

Argh even though the 3d effects were OK, the movie stunk. A story line that made no sense and I was bored throughout the entire movie ready to turn it off on numerous occasions. Gabriela? I don't get it him. Why was he even in the movie. The actor just dragged the movie down and added nothing to the plot. Nothing in the movie made sense, the main actress's artwork was awful even though that was suppose to be her profession, many cameos by 2 bit actors haunted me and their lines were laughable changing from humans to non-humans were poorly done. I was really agitated towards the end of the movie and came to the conclusion that I wasted 90 minutes of my life when I could have been watching Archer reruns.

I know some might think me giving this 5/10 is crazy, which is fair enough, though I was referring to the movie or its theme in general. And I do know, that the movie has flaws. Beginning with some of the acting, the shot selection and the script. Some might even take offense because this does pay tribute (read copies!) some classic horror movies (Rosemarys Baby to name just one).

But generally speaking there is appeal. There is appeal in the really out there, trip this is offering. And you don't have to be on a "trip" to get it or to like it either. It's about paranoia, it's about seeing things that may or may not be there. It's about mental health and about demons. Or just one rather than the other? But which one? If you are able to watch this, with a mindset like that, you will be entertained enough to like it (despite all the flaws)

This is one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. I watched it because it had gotten some good reviews on Amazon but now I'm wondering who wrote those (friends of the director?)

The plot is about a woman who goes to Italy and makes a deal with the devil to have a baby. When she returns home she starts having nightmares and seeing visions of demons.

The problem is the movie is NOT SCARY and the acting is SO AWFUL. The director seems to "borrow" a lot from other horror films. There is one scene that is a complete rip-off of Rosemary's Baby.

Tony Todd (Candyman) was listed as one of the stars but he doesn't show up until the end and had a very small role. I actually felt bad he had to take this part.

I advise other horror fans to skip this movie - it's very, very BAD.

Scream at the devil... More like scream at my mother for making me sit through five minutes of this before I decided to leave the room, pack my bags and flee the country. This movie had me more confused and turned off than ever. I'm flabbergasted this made it to picture... Like nobody thought... Wait what were making is garbage and the effects are not building suspense but making the viewers laugh? 2.5 is not a low enough rating and I wish I could rate lower than 1 because I have no words.
