    Fabulous cast play out a weird tale of the force of character. For me his is Skolmowski's best film save for 'Le Depart'.

    Very strange but also pretty good in a very strange way.

    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 an...( read more)d 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.

Crossley insinuates himself on Fielding and his wife (S...( read more)usannah York) with Aboriginal magic. It's really well done & the shout is itself is very well done. Very much worth seeing this one.
