Scream for Help

Ultra-rare 35mm print of an awesome ‘80s obscurity! Sleazy slasher thrills, strained family dynamics, after school special drama, and hard R sex & violence explode on screen in Death Wish director Michael Winner’s ferocious Scream For Help. Convinced her cruel new stepfather plans to slaughter her mom, a smart teen does some Nancy Drew-style sleuthing to dig up the truth before it’s too late. Featuring a script by Fright Night / Child’s Play director Tom Holland and a memorable musical score by Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Scream For Help is fast-paced exploitation insanity wildly careening between tones and genres.

Scream For Help is one of the most terrifying scripts I’ve ever read” – Michael Winner

“Cringe worthy, tasteless, and 1000% fun to watch play out” – Weird Wednesday, Alamo Drafthouse
