Plot

A teenage girl discovers that her stepfather is trying to murder her and her mother, but when she tries to tell other people about it, no one will believe her.

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin criticized Scream for Help for what it described as the film's "moronic characterization, daft dialogue, inept performances and opportunistic camerawork." [1]

Screenwriter Holland was extremely displeased with Winner's handling of his script.

Soundtrack

The film's score was composed by former Led Zeppelin member John Paul Jones and released as a Soundtrack.

Video release

The film was released on VHS in 1986 by Karl-Lorimar Home Video and had trailers for American Anthem, Max Headroom and Maximum Overdrive. To this day, the film has never been released on either DVD or Blu-ray.
