Set in [[New Rochelle, New York]] in 1984, Christie, a teenage girl discovers that her stepfather Paul is trying to murder her and her mother Karen for her money, but when she tries to tell other people about it, no one will believe her. After a maintenance worker dies in the basement, Christie believes Paul set the trap for her mother after she saw him leave the basement the previous night. Christie begins following Paul everywhere and discovers he is having an affair with a young attractive woman named Brenda. She is caught by Brenda's brother Lacey but manages to run away. Paul convinces Karen that Brenda is a client of his and she believes him over her daughter.

Christie begins following Paul everywhere and discovers he is having an affair with a young attractive woman named Brenda. She is caught by Brenda's brother Lacey but manages to run away. Paul convinces Karen that Brenda is a client of his and she believes him over her daughter.
Christie convinces Josh, her best friend Janey's boyfriend, to accompany her to catch Paul, but the brakes to her mother's car have been tampered with, almost killing them. Christie and Janey discover Paul and Brenda at a motel and run when Paul sees them. Janey tells Christie she is pregnant by Josh, but moments later is killed in a hit and run by an unseen driver. Christie tells the police that Paul killed Janey, intending to kill her, but she is not believed. Josh sticks up for Christie after she is bullied and blamed for Janey's death. Later, she loses her virginity to Josh but they are interrupted by Paul, who orders Josh to leave; when Christie goes to the bathroom, she notices gas, now suspecting that Paul is trying to kill her too (as she would be entitled to her mother's inheritance before he would be). Karen also falls down the stairs after a trap Paul set for her, putting her in a wheelchair. Christie takes a picture of Paul and Brenda having sex but drops the picture and is seen; while retrieving the picture she overhears that Brenda and Lacey are in fact a married couple who plan to blackmail Paul after he kills Karen and Christie. She shows her mother the picture and Paul is ordered to leave.

Plot

[edit]

In New Rochelle, New York, Christie, a teenage girl, discovers that her stepfather Paul is trying to murder her and her mother Karen for her money, but when she tries to tell other people about it, no one will believe her. After a maintenance worker dies in the basement, Christie believes Paul set the trap for her mother after she saw him leave the basement the previous night.

Christie begins following Paul everywhere and discovers he is having an affair with a young attractive woman named Brenda. She is caught by Brenda's brother Lacey but manages to run away. Paul convinces Karen that Brenda is a client of his and she believes him over her daughter.

Christie convinces Josh, her best friend Janey's boyfriend, to accompany her to catch Paul, but the brakes to her mother's car have been tampered with, almost killing them. Christie and Janey discover Paul and Brenda at a motel and run when Paul sees them, and soon after Janey is killed in a hit and run by an unseen driver. Christie tells the police that Paul killed Janey, intending to kill her, but she is not believed. Josh sticks up for Christie after she is bullied and blamed for Janey's death.

Later, Christie loses her virginity to Josh but they are interrupted by Paul, who orders Josh to leave. When Christie goes to the bathroom, she notices gas, and she realizes that Paul is trying to kill her too. Karen also falls down the stairs after a trap Paul set for her, putting her in a wheelchair. Christie takes a picture of Paul and Brenda having sex but drops the picture and is seen; while retrieving the picture she overhears that Brenda and Lacey are in fact a married couple who plan to blackmail Paul after he kills Karen and Christie. She shows her mother the picture and Paul is ordered to leave.

At midnight, Paul, Brenda, and Lacey invade the house and force Christie and Karen to the basement, revealing their plans to kill them both at 2 a.m. and blame it on a burglar. Christie tells Paul about the real relationship between Brenda and Lacey, which angers him. Christie tricks Brenda into letting her out to go to the bathroom while Karen cuts the electricity to the house from the basement, giving Christie a chance to run and stab both Lacey and Paul.

Production

[edit]

Tom Holland wrote Scream for Help shortly after completing Psycho II with Holland saying he wanted to do a horror film with a psychological bent that was based in reality.[4] Holland also stated that the film was meant as something of a reaction to the over-saturation of the slasher genre as he felt it had become too reliant on special effects, violence, and gore and wanted to emphasize the psychological aspects of horror rather than the exploitative.[4] Michael Winner loved the script and called Lorimar telling them he wanted to do the film.[4]

The exterior sequences were filmed on location in New Rochelle, New York over the course of two weeks, while interior sequences were shot in Finchampstead in Berkshire, England.[4] The two weeks in New Rochelle were to accommodate an elaborate action sequence which was one of the few additions Winner made to Holland's script saying of the process "I have never done less work on a script in my life".[4]

Critical response

[edit]

Derek Malcolm of The Guardian wrote that director Winner "pushes his plot to further and further levels of implausiblity, and ends with a bloodbath that looks ominously like a practise run for the forthcoming Death Wish III."[6]

Home media

[edit]

Scream for Help was released on VHS, Betamax, and LaserDisc[7] in North America by Karl-Lorimar Home Video on 15 October 1985.[8] The film's home video release received a significant promotional campaign in retail markets, including special brochures, posters, counter cards, and a cardboard standup.[8] Stuart Karl, then-president of Karl-Lorimar, commented at the time: "To our knowledge, this is the first time in home video history that a company has approached advertising for a home video feature as if it were a theatrical release."[8]

The film has not been issued on DVD but a Blu-ray from Scream Factory was released on 18 September 2018.[9]
