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

Crappy film

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Wonderful cast, atmosphere and story. Suspenseful, chilling and thrilling. This one has a air of sadness, mystery and horror that you do not see most modern horror-thrillers. This one is great for a late night thriller.I don't know how I missed this film earlier in my life but I'm glad to see it now. It's definitely worth watching.She is bound to a wheelchair and returns home to see her father after 10 years of not being able to see him. She sees his dead body and his ghost(?) - that leads others to believe she might have other problems outside of her physical state. But there is more going on that will leave the viewer guessing.8.5/10

There is really nothing wrong the atmosphere in this flick. It is really tense and the black-and-white cinematography really helps a lot. And even though it eventually leads to some surprises I thought it was rather strange the chauffeur wanting to help the wheel-bound chair girl. The body of the dead father disappearing so quickly as if it were a ghost while it clearly wasn't was really exaggerated. Also if the girl wasn't handicapped at all than the accident where the falls in the pool with wheelchair is rather dumb. I don't think if you are in such state of panic you are still going to use that wheelchair if you can walk anyway. And I pretty much was sure she wouldn't be dead when she fell from that cliff. The bad guys were not going to get away with that, my gut feeling was right. All in all an enjoyable experience with a clever story but not for a re-watch.

Coming to her father's home after an almost fatal accident, his wheel- chair bound daughter finds him away, but her most gracious step-mother present to welcome here. Obviously, something is amiss, and no sooner has she settled in then she begins to claim to see her father's supposed corpse all over the grounds of the estate. What seems to be a traditional "Get your hands on the inheritance" plot turns into something a lot more deadly, and there's a lot of fun along the way in what is a fun, if obvious thriller. You've seen this plot in films time and time again, from the original "The Cat and the Canary" onto today. Susan Strasberg gives a sincere performance as the endangered heroine. Ann Todd, as the step-mother of wheelchair bound Strasberg, is outstanding as her character is developed and the truth is revealed. A famous horror villain is nothing more than a red herring, given a dark presence to cast instant suspicion as the villain. There are some really creepy moments throughout this thriller, and the conclusion may have you shrieking in both shock and laughter. Columbia had some tiny gems in the horror genre in the 1950's and 60's, and this is one of the best.

Scream Of Fear is directed by Seth Holt, written by Jimmy Sangster and stars Susan Strasberg, Ronald Lewis, Christopher Lee and Ann Todd. The French Riviera in 1961 is the setting for this interesting horror/thriller.Venturing into very similar territory to The Innocents with a plot which is a mix of the supernatural and the human mind.Wheelchair bound Penny Appelby(Susan Strasberg)all elegance and chic,hiding from inquisitive eyes behind dark sunglasses,is met at the airport by her fathers chauffeur Bob(Ronald Lewis).She has been asked to come and stay with her father(Fred Johnson)who she hasn't seen for ten years,and his second wife Jane(Ann Todd).She's informed by Bob that her father has been called away for a few days on business.He also hints that he has not been well which raises Penny's suspicions.At first all seems pleasant enough at the family villa but soon Penny becomes caught up in a nightmare which could be what it seems to be or could just be mind playing tricks on her.She keeps having visions of her father and in them he is dead.Bob is the only one who believes her and together they begin to investigate and along the way fall in love with each other.However Penny soon discovers that appearances can be deceptive and that is where Scream Of Fear really gets interesting.Christoper Lee is a strong presence as Dr Pierre Gerrard a friend of Jane's,who suggests that Penny paralysis may be a product of her mind and not due to her accident.With memorable performances from the leads and a strong sense of atmosphere,Scream Of Fear is a horror which relies on shocks and fears to be at it's most effective and not blood and gore.
