Leave your thoughts about The Shout.
| VarietyVariety StaffSkolimowski has been able to create a gripping film that holds attention most of the way through its economical length. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA gripping but elusive psychodrama based on a short story by Robert Graves. |
| Chicago ReaderDave Kehr[The Shout] is shrewd, imaginative moviemaking. |
| Radio TimesAdrian TurnerRobert Graves's weird story becomes a weird movie. |
| User ReviewLee MCinco estrellas! O si no que le pregunten al Maistro Chechurría! :D |
| User Reviewalex fThis is another great 70's flick that Deserves another look. Probably couldn't be made today; not everything is spelled out for the audience. |
| User ReviewMaggie SBased on a true story that happened to British historian & novellist, Robert Graves (of The 12 Caesars & I, Claudius fame). Endlessly layered, fiercely intelligent, shocking, disturbing. &, at times, baffling & inscrutable. This is a film that will stay with you for a LONG time. A must-see. |

| User ReviewMichael OA work of subtle genius. One of the best horror films I'd never heard of. Imagine Robert Aickman put to film and this is what you get. Weird. Very. |
| User ReviewRalph RAlan Bates bending over and rolling back up to take a breath is probably the most brilliant moment of preparation I've ever seen. Every actor should watch it. An astonishing film. (PS read the story by Robert Graves too -- and enjoy the differences.) |
