Scream Dream

by far the greatest film of our generation.

your legacy continues long after your death

Well, I've seen a lot of really bad movies in the horror field the last few weeks, but this turkey is really bad!! Apart from the very good looking Melissa Moore (probably the most beautiful face in the Scream Queens roster), this movie about a demon possessing several hard-rock singers, it has nothing to make it watchable. Avoid like the plague

My review was written in March 1990 after watching the feature on Interamerican Entertainment video cassette.

This shot-on-video gore flick fills the bill for fans whose taste in horror veers toward the "Blood Feast" genre.

Donald Farmer continues to work in the video medium rather than film, and this Tennessee-lense effort suggests he needs to upgrade his script before making the jump to the big time.

Story is set in the music world, with plenty of nondescript rock performances to pad the abbreviated running time. Satanic singer Carol Carr is fired from her band and goes on a killing rampage. She's actually a witch and her spirit possesses her replacement to the band, lovely Melissa Moore.

Item is poorly photographed in a manner closer to the porno than the horror genre, though content never exceeds a soft X level.

This movie for the most part seems like a combination of a junior high school play and a home movie. While some of it is scary, for the most part it seems amateurish, especially the acting, editing, and writing. It deals mostly with the lead singer of a rock band who is fired for her dabbling in the occult, which she uses to get her revenge. Not too good.

* 1/2 out of ****

Yeah, I saw the movie and believe me it wasn't at the drive-in! The movie starts with a girl getting sawed in two with a chainsaw in her bed. Why was she killed? Your guess is as good as mine, no mention of it was in the rest of the film. The rest of the film portays a female rock singer, Michele Shock, who gets fired due to bad media about the suspicion of her witchcraft. The band gets a new lead singer Jamie Summers (Melissa Moore, former Playboy Playmate, just about the only spark of light in the film), and that really takes Michele over the edge. Understandable, only she ends up dead (why at that point in the movie?), and a little demon is seen running around TRYING to wreak havoc. Jamie stumbles onto Michele's lifeless body and is mesmerized by some evil force that compells her to taste her blood that spreads the demonic contagion. Jamie from then on turns into a pretty ugly demon whenever she's the tiniest bit aggravated and kills whoever pushed her buttons. Film ends with Jamie's boyfriend having the cheesiest nightmare. He woke up screaming, I would have woke up laughing. Film is about ten minutes shorter than the average movie, was produced in Tennessee, good creature effects, but the death scenes could have used a little more work. Scream Dream was also the name of a song that was sung by Michele in the movie, not bad, but definitely not good.
