This could blow your ears off
By PAW from Sheffield , 17 Sep 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
The Shout is a very interesting and original film with an excellent British cast. Very British in its feel, very minimalist in terms of production values - but with an eerie and very threatening atmosphere. If you found watching The Wicker Man an affecting experience, try this for grabs.- Was this review helpful to you?

Boring
By Strider (50 reviews) from Wokingham , 01 Aug 2009Ok, it's got York and Hurt in it - Bonus.
However, it's very dull.

Boring
By iCfilms (5 reviews) from Glasgow , 19 Jul 2009I gave up half an hour in as it was clearly going nowhere. And even if it did reach a destination I seriously doubt it will have been worth the journey.
The film can be watched for free on this website (at least with my subscription). Just click on the yellow box on the right of the main picture to stream it on your computer.
Two of the people from the rock band Genesis did the soundtrack along with their producer.- Was this review helpful to you?

Nothing to shout about
By hush1977 (25 reviews) from Market Harborough , 31 May 2006Odd yet weirdly watchable, hard to swallow yet satisfying, The Shout is hard to praise but even harder to criticise, especially when such a stupid premise is so believable.
Some excellent performances and a short unearthly plot make this worth a watch, whilst its curious and eccentric moments arguably push it into cult status. Just don't forget the soothers.- Was this review helpful to you?

good if you like wierd films
By hensonator (33 reviews) from Northampton , 03 Feb 2006If your a fan of Nicolas Roeg (Dont Look Now, The Man Who Fell To Earth), David Lynch, or The Wicker Man, then this film will appeal to you. Its one of those films which is a bit disjointed and doesnt quite make sense, but it thougherly enjoyable and leaves you thinking about it far after its finished. The cast is very good, and the North Devon scenery is also beautiful.- Was this review helpful to you?
