Scream at the Devil (2015)

Dir- Joseph Paul Stachura

Some of the best horror movies come from situations where a person is left alone in an unknown setting and has to work through issues that question their sanity. Scream at the Devil is a 2015 psychological thriller that focuses on an artist with schizophrenia who battles through problems involving her husband's infidelity, annoying neighbors, and hallucinations that may make us question what we are seeing. Shari Shattuck stars as Mirium, and her struggles do make for a compelling story. Still, the rest of the film suffers from too many interactions with random visitors that don't seem to work in this movie. Scream at the Devil is trying too hard to follow in the style of classic isolation thrillers like Repulsion. There are some fun cameos by Bill Oberst, Jr, and Tony Todd, but these are just minor roles, and their talents seem wasted on this movie.
