CodyZamboni Z 10/26/2024 Intriguing premise, Top notch performances from John Hurt, and especially Alan Bates, He's fascinating, quiet, menancing, who may have a supernatural power. Movie boosted by an incredible sound design, The movie's low budget, and small scale keeps the eerieness focused. The ending works, See more ron y 08/26/2024 Don't waste your time. See more Dave S 08/18/2024 Despite the difference in genre, is it possible that The Shout is a riff on the Monty Python skit The World’s Funniest Joke? In the latter, a joke is written that is so funny that when the audience hears the punchline, instant death by laughter is the outcome. In The Shout, a man, having been trained by an Aboriginal shaman, has the power to emit a deafening roar, resulting in instant death by…well…something. The cast is impressive (Alan Bates, John Hurt, Susannah York, Tim Curry) and the performances are solid, but the whole thing just seems pointlessly weird as the screaming man (Bates) inserts himself into the lives of a young couple (York and Hurt), leading to predictably weird results. Monty Python had a point to make with their skit. It’s hard to say if the same can be said for The Shout. See more nick s @Nick_S 07/31/2024 Very good acting and cinematography. It felt like it was made by a director with artistic flair, but poor storytelling ability. You could cut a lot of the scenes from the movie and it wouldn't affect the plot much. Still, it was nice to see some of the young classical actors.

Great cinematography and art direction. See more marc m 10/30/2021 Quite strange. I really don't know what else to say. See more Read all reviews
