Most of the comments here are thumbs down, but with all it's flaws; did anyone else find the ending completely CREEPY? This demented movie has some fun elements; the Mad Doctor/Artist is hilarious. I was laughing every second he was on screen. The song played in the club by the band Oddessy (a REAL band on White Whale Records) , is excellent! Sounds like a classic 1960s rock anthem by someone like Iron Butterfly / Vanilla Fudge/Cream . The make-up on the disfigured woman--is simply unforgettable! This movie drags about every 15 minutes , but then picks up again. The opening scene is really cool & great credits sequence too. The lead girl is dull but beautiful to look at. The worst part is the lead guy, Josh. He's kinda wooden and ugly too. Who hired him ? I love Grade Z movies from this period--YES this is a lop-sided mess; but it has enough weirdness for any Psychotronic movie lover. As another poster mentioned; why did TROMA release this?

The script is probably the best thing here, the make-up maybe the worst. Larry Cohen would later revise this idea for THE AMBULANCE. There is some fun 70's elements to this movie like chicks dancing in unison and a, rather disappointed trippin' on acid scene, though it does have the characters imagining they are animals at the zoo. There is some good dialog and though the script provides lots of opportunities the pacing of the film though does get a bit sluggish at times. Still a typically odd and interesting Larry Cohen script, would be great to see him or a better director remake it with better actors and better make-up. More naked butts than anything else but for those who wonder is there nudity as part of a decision to see something or not, the answer here is yes some. Fun credit sequence as well.

I can't explain my adoration for this film. I initially saw it sometime in the mid-80's and it was love at first sight. Perhaps it's because it reminds me of Hershell Gordon Lewis with less gore and (somewhat) better acting? Who knows and who cares?! Hot tunes, bad hair, and acid-washed brains make for good times. SCREAM, BABY, SCREAM is a riot and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys those preposterous '60's tripped-out monster movies (you know who you are). For a double dose of groovy gory fun, track down a copy of BLOOD FREAK and you'll never be the same.

I found this movie at a XXX store for $1 on VHS. The interesting thing about it is that Camp Video bought up the rights to it and slapped on a 1986 copywrite date in the credits. Anyways, enough of odd facts.This film is absolutely not scary. To even call this horror or a "thriller" is laughable. There were only maybe 5 minutes at most of what you would call horror in this 80+ minute film, and that consisted of the acting, because it was HORRORible! All puns aside, the writing for this film was absolute garbage as well, just as the special effects and makeup was laughable. No wonder this is such an obscure film, probably the director has spent the last 35 years scouring the country for all existing copies of it and burning them in one big pile so no one else could be subjected to it.
