Scream Bloody Murder is low-level garbage that may provide some amusing moments

Warning: Spoilers
Having just watched this on YouTube and read several of the comments here, I've concluded that while Scream Bloody Murder has some effective scenes, some partially good performances from the two leads, and an interesting early bit from Angus Scrimm (Phantasm), this is just mostly junk that has inconsistent characterizations (Matthew, having spent most of his life in a convent with a hook hand, is actually able to drive and actually found the car's key for the stolen vehicle on such short notice, really?), randomly gratuitous killings (what was that doomed young married couple thinking when they let Matthew ride with them?), and painful dialogue (especially Matthew's constantly saying "Now we can be free" to both his mother and Vera who he calls "Daisy" since she resembles his mother-no surprise since the actress is the same). Anyone expecting logic should look elsewhere. And part of me wonders how the "MST3K" gang would have 'riffed on this picture. Occasionally, there are some unintentional amusements like when that old lady hit Matthew with her canes or when that dog, seeing him pick that now-dead lady up, was just staring at him! LOL! And how about when that delivery boy kept knocking and talking for more than a few minutes even though no one was answering! And that near-sex scene with "Daisy" and Matthew did turn me on. But with all the inconsistencies I just mentioned, I can't quite recommend Scream Bloody Murder. It's on YouTube, however, if you want to see this for free.
