Watch Die Screaming Marianne For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty Good

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

With having become keen in seeing more films by Pete Walker,thanks to his light hearted,sadly forgotten Sex Comedy Tiffany Jones,and also being very interested in catching a glimpse of Susan George for the very first time,I decided to go for a "2 for the price of 1" deal,by taking a look at a collaboration of their's,and finding out how Marianne is made to die screaming.The plot:Running away from her family villa in Portugal,due to gangster's being after her,who are desperate to get hold of bank account details that only she has been told about from her late mum,Marianne McDonald bumps into passing driver Sebastian Smith,who tells Marianne the he will make sure that she is safe,by taking McDonald to live with him in London.A few days/weeks later:Having spent a period of time attempting to build a connection between himself and Marianne,Sebastian gives McDonald the rather surprising news,that due to feeling a need of wanting to know that she will always be "safe",Smith has decided to arrange for both of them to get married to each other today!.Feeling anxious about Sebastian's "kind" offer,Marianne smartly uses the appearance of Smith's friend Eli Frome at the wedding as a way to ruin Sebastian's marriage plans,as McDonald begins to fear that the people who were set to do anything to get the bank account details out of her in Portugal are now getting closer to her than ever before.View on the film:For the first half an hour of the movie,screenwriter Murray Smith struggles to strike a cohesive balance with the (initially) underlying mystery-Thriller elements and the teen Drama-style sections of the movie,with the "wedding games" between Sebastian and Marianne feeling completely disconnected to the events that take place in the second half of the film.Happily,as Murray quickly makes a pretty thin excuse for the character's all to go to Portugal,the teen Drama elements are trimmed away, and replaced by the terrific mystery-Thriller section of the plot being wonderfully pushed right to the front,with Murray showing Marianne's terror to gradually increase,as McDonald begins to feel that she is getting pulled back into the web of death and double- crossing that Marianne desperately wants to escape from.Shooting the film in the stark Portugal sun light,director Pete Walker impressively uses the strongest parts in Murray Smith's likable screenplay to create the foundations for his future Horror work,with Walker showing a female character to be far deadlier and smarter than the male,and also uses the nickname of McDonal's dad ("The Judge") to show how members of the ruling elite want to use all of their powers to crush everyone underneath.Working closely with the fantastic editing of Tristam Cones,and a great,quick-thinking performance from the very pretty Susan George,Walker cleverly uses spilt-screens and whip pans to show the desperation of the character's to force out the bank account details from Marianne,and also does well in hiding the films low budget,by setting the ending around the ancient buildings of Portugal,that give the movie a tremendous,chilling atmosphere,as the dying screams of Marianne start to echo round the film.

Forget PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE or BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. This gem, which was released in the early 80s in a very gory video box, was marketed as a horror film, yet is really a lame drama about 2 cops searching for a lost girl. Everyone even remotely connected to this film (especially it's video release) should be jailed for life.

Somehow this film manages to be boring as hell even with the lovely Susan George all over it, and in her prime too.This disjointed relic from British Cinema's Bronze Age features George as a bonne viveuse who is keeping her distance from a dis-functional family which threaten to unravel her hopes of a normal romantic life, and all because she possesses within her mind the secret swiss bank account number which contains her inheritance, which will be entirely her's when she reaches the age of 21. Various losers try to get her to come across with the goods and they certainly take their time with it. And for some odd reason Maryanne tags along with their schemes right up till the last minute even though she knows who she's dealing with. It's kind of confusing.There is a cheesy song about Maryanne at the end, and the opening credits are rather dated, with Ms. George doing her best go-go dancer routine.

Pic is routine in all respects and a real timewaster! Marketed as a horror film, it's nothing more than a boring tale of a dysfunctional family trying to lay their mitts on a numbered Swiss Bank account containing incriminating documents, along with a sizeable amount of cash. Poor Marianne is about to inherit this stash on her 21st birthday, but her father and sister want to grab it from her. Nothing horrific (nor even interesting) here.The cast is decidedly drab and unattractive (even toplined Susan George is unflatteringly photographed)and performances are strictly of the stock variety. Potentially interesting Portuguese scenery is also wasted by the pedestrian set-ups employed by helmer Pete Walker.Director Walker made a few mildly interesting films ("House of Whipcord", "Frightmare") along with a goodly amount of dreck. Thankfully he retired in '82, saving viewers from further boredom.
