Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands As the film vaults to its third act, there’s a twist that makes the feature a surefire delight. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com When the Screaming Starts is filled with laughs, some genuine scares, and deserves a cult following. Rated: 3/4 Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …When The Screaming Starts is a surprisingly polished little film, best approached as a comic thriller rather than an out and out comedy, but genuine fun for those who can take it… Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth Delivering fully on the potential of its premise, this witty, stylistically sharp mock-doc marks the arrival of a talented filmmaking voice in Conor Boru. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A fun and inventive mockumentary which plays with the public’s obsession with serial killers. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers Very funny, very British and drowning in fake blood. And unlike a murderous cult breaking into your house while you’re having a dinner party, it never outstays its welcome. Rated: 4/5 Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Taylor R It was funny and edgy for the first 20 minutes. Then it got boring and stayed boring. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review CBS C Love the British humour! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Steve I was in stitches from start to finish. Great film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/23 Full Review Sam B This is the best British horror / comedy since Shaun Of The Dead. An absolute must-see whether you are a fan of the genre or not. Razor sharp dialogue, exceptionally good acting and a story that will stay with you combine to make one of the finest independent films I've seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/23 Full Review Jerod S I didn't get the humor and there was definitely no horror. Just weird wanna be cultists. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review brad p When the Screaming Starts is a laugh-out-loud funny dark comedy, and the film breathes a lot of life back into the mockumentary subgenre. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
