THE FILM
SCREAM AT THE DEVIL is a psychological thriller about the horrific path of the mental illness schizophrenia, its imagery, and what constitutes reality. Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that continually needs to be further examined to educate the public about its symptoms and medical treatment... and what better way to capture the disease than on film. Films about mental illness are on the rise as we can see from the 2013 Oscar nominated feature film, "Silver Linings Playbook" and the new dramatic thriller, "Side Effects".
