ebsmooth Review of Scream for Help

Scream for Help (1984)

Nobody believes Christy that her step dad is trying to kill her mom & her.

[7/10 · 19 February 2005]

I saw this movie a lot in the 80's and just saw it again recently.If your looking for a suspenseful thriller don't look here.If you want to see some bad acting with some way over the top cheesy music that will make you laugh,look here. Cute(but dumpy)Christy suspects her no good step dad is trying to hurt her mom & herself.Watch as she cuts three straight days of school to follow him in his car on her bike(very funny).Watch as she drags her best friend along which leads to her death(not funny,but not sad).Watch as DAYS later she loses her virginity with her best friend's boyfriend(hilarious).The end has a final confrontation that reminded me of the home alone movies,but this isn't suppose to be a comedy.I admit I was in hysterics the way the mom was flung around in her wheelchair.This is definitely a so bad its good type movie.I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons.If your looking for something similar but better check out The Stepfather with Terry O'Quinn.
