Review of The Shout (1978) by Michael D — 31 May 2008
Hugely under-rated British horror movie (directed by a Pole) that is better, for me, than the extremely silly but far more celebrated 'Don't Look Now'. 'The Shout' has brilliant sound-design, innovative editing and a perfect cast, with a storyline that intrigues, reels you in and keeps you mesmerised once you are hooked. The three central perormances are spot-on but Susannah York is oddly the creepiest thing about this movie, and yes, The Shout itself is pretty darn good.
If, like me, you are a fan of off-beat, imaginative horror then you reallly need to see this - an under-appreciated horror gem.
