Clark, a young Mathematics major at University, thinks she's found the best deal for student housing: a group of squatters who live in an abandoned hospital secretly. The quirky residents let her into their community provided she follow the rules, including not telling anyone about her living arrangements. All seems wonderful, until she discovers that the reason that the hospital was abandoned was a series of murders in the 1940's by a strange "shrieking killer" who was never captured - and the discovery that someone who's living in the hospital is using occult means to bring back the "Shrieker," a demonic force summoned and controlled by a human who knows the proper procedure. When strange occult circles are discovered, Clark finds herself the main suspect, because she is the newest resident.

| User Reviewriku GFull Moon managed to sneak out somewhat of a hidden gem with "Shrieker". A definite recommendation for those who enjoyed demonic/monster-type horror films such as The Unnameable, Curse of the Demon/Night of the Demon, and/or The Incubus. Low on actual gore (of course I cannot recall a Full Moon feature that was anything much of a gore-fest and this movie definitely does SCREAM Full Moon style! tho i think it is one of the better FM releases) but I thought this movie delivered well on suspense, mystery and even mentions to squeeze in some large, almost gothic-like, large castle-esque atmosphere even tho it takes place in an abandoned hospital during modern times! Pretty cool. |
| User ReviewChantal LAnother Full Moon picture. This one is fun and campy ! A bunch of college students squatting in an abandoned hospital get killed one be one by a monster from another dimension. Great gore ! |
| User ReviewJay Vtypical Full Moon! thats all i gotta say |
| User ReviewSteve MCollege students squatting in a hospital that's been abandoned for over 50 years come under attack when one among them summons an extra-dimensional horror known as the Shrieker. Five must die so it's summoner can control it. Will mathmatics Freshman Clark (Dempsey) learn the secrets of the Shrieker in time to save herself and her "roommates"? "Shrieker" is a straight-forward monster film with a "Ten Little Indians"-style who-dunnit element thrown in. It's so straight-forward that it almost feels like an outline of a movie instead of a full-fledged one. It's short on character development, short on logic, and short on suspense, because there's not enough time to include that sort of materal in its very brief running time of just over an hour. The fact that it's so short is probably the best thing I can say about "Shrieker". The director had enough sense not to pad his film with a bunch of pointless "mood shots" or never-ending establishing shots. Although I probably wouldn't have been too annoyed if there had been a little gratioutous nudity to pad the film, particularly since Alison Cuffe and Jenya Layno at one point both wear outfits that could have been even skimpier. :) In that vein, I'll mention that "Shrieker" features a cast that seems to have been cast more for their good looks than their acting abilities, but with the breakneck pace at which the film unfolds, there's barely time to notice anything about the cast other than their good looks. (Everyone gives an adequate performance for a low-budget, direct-to-DVD film... no one embarrasses themselves but no one does a remarkable job, either.) "Shrieker" isn't the worst film in the Full Moon catalogue, but it's far from the best. But it is a film you can safely ignore, even if you're the biggest Full Moon fan on planet Earth. Shrieker (aka "Shriek") Starring: Tanya Dempsey, Jamie Gannon, Parry Shen, Roger Crowe, Alison Cuffe and Jenya Lano Director: David DeCotaeu |
| User ReviewFreddie MPassable. The monster is great but the film tries too hard to be post modern like Scream. |
