“Residing somewhere in a parallel dimension called u0026quot;Scream for Helpu0026quot; where everybody is a scumbag reigns Christie Cromwell. Played with such over-the-top antics and foul-mouthed bombast by Rachael Kelly, this single performance makes this movie one of the sleaziest and most entertaining eighties bad movies I have ever seen. Young Christie thinks that Paul Fox, who has recently married Chrisiteu0026#39;s mother Karen, is a conniving philanderer who is only after their money and wants the both of them dead. Sheu0026#39;s right of course but the problem is getting anyone to believe her since sheu0026#39;s such an abrasive little bitch that nobody wishes to come near her let alone listen to her petty conspiracy theories. One morning she follows Paul on her bike until he motors away from her. Not one to be deterred easily Chrisite waits the next day until Paul drives by the spot she lost him at and continues to follow him. This goes on for about a week until she finds Paulu0026#39;s car outside a house. Christie looks into the window to see Paul engaged in a little back door sex with a mysterious woman which she promptly takes a picture of. This escalates the war between Paul and Christie with the dopey Karen caught in the middle trying to make nice with both of them. From here on you might need a shower as the seediness pours through every scene as Christie and Paul try to out scum each other. Along for the ride are Christieu0026#39;s acquaintances, I canu0026#39;t see her having any friends, the extremely large busted Janey (youu0026#39;ll know what I mean) and her boyfriend Josh. When Janey is run down by Paul Christie grieves like any good friend would do by losing her virginity to her boyfriend. This leads to one of the funniest lines when Josh comes over to see her only to be shot down when Christie says that she was looking for anyone to pop her cherry u0026quot;even the garbage manu0026quot;. Wow! A final showdown ensues as Karen and Christie become hostages in their mansion as Paul, his partner/double crosser Brenda and her husband Lacey battle wits with the vicious teen. This movie is like a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon if Road Runner was banging Wile E.u0026#39;s mom. Thatu0026#39;s the best way I can describe this. Every time Christie thinks sheu0026#39;s got Paul dead to rights he manages to get away unscathed. Plenty of nudity, profanity, and eighties cheesiness to keep even the most jaded of viewers with a smile on their face. u0026quot;Scream for Helpu0026quot; is the very definition of why a really good u0026quot;bad movieu0026quot; trumps the pretentious crap that poses for theatrical fare today. Simply a must see for any fan of B-grade cinema.”
