UnowPriceless hyped garbage

GazerRise Fantastic!

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Rainey Dawn Laura Wynant has come home from an institution. She lives with her son Howard who seem genuinely concerned for her and her heath and her crabby, money-hungry stepdaughter Caroline. Laura goes for a walk on her large property, all the way out to where the old smokehouse used to be. She sees a dog out there and then hears a cry for help, locates the voice in the cellar that wasn't destroyed of the old place and goes for help. She runs home to tell the story of the woman buried alive out there. No one believes Ms. Wynant's story, they are all thinking she's still not well, but her story is real - quite real.Who is the woman buried out there? Why is she there? Was it some weird accident or was she buried there deliberately? Will Ms. Wynant find help and get to her before she suffocates? Pretty interesting film. I enjoyed it.8/10

Toronto85 Olivia de Havilland's character is horrified to discover a person buried underneath the ground in "The Screaming Woman". Havilland plays Laura Wynatt, a former mental patient who has returned home to recover and relax. One day while out riding her horse on her property ground, she is shocked to see that a woman is buried underneath the dirt begging for help. Laura races back up to the house, but her pleas to the family and the police are overlooked because of her mental state. She is forced to save the woman herself but, in the process, comes across the psychopath who put the woman there!The Screaming Woman is a terrific made for TV' film! It has all the goods that a 1970's suspense movie had. Olivia de Havilland plays the role brilliantly, she truly was an amazing actress in her day. It hurts to see this woman plead with people to believe what she says, but no avail. Olivia de Havilland plays the character as scrambling and desperate, and you really feel for her as a viewer. We also meet the man who tried to kill the woman he buried alive, and there is an interesting story told there as well. This made for TV film DESERVES a DVD release. Other classics like "Don't be Afraid of the Dark" and "Dying Room Only" were distributed on DVD. They were both ABC TV movies as was this one, but somehow this film has never been mentioned for a release. Nevertheless, if you spot this film on TV or online - catch it. It's a creepy and worthwhile watch.8/10

HumanoidOfFlesh Olivia De Havilland plays a middle-aged mental patient who has recently been released from a mental institution after suffering a breakdown.After going to the woods she discovers a woman buried alive and screaming for help on the grounds of her sprawling estate,but her family feels that her mind has snapped and refuses to believe the bizarre story in its greed to get hold of her money if she is declared incompetent.It seems the muffled screams are those of a woman buried alive at a construction site by her recluse husband."The Screaming Woman" is very loosely based on Ray Bradbury's short story,which I haven't read.It's TV-debut of Olivia De Havilland.The film is fast-paced and genuinely creepy.There is no gore or nudity,just good old-fashioned scares and mystery.8 out of 10.

ednelson-1 Working with this wonderful performer was a great thrill for me. She was like and beginner with great joy and loved every suggestion I made and wanted to rehearse over and over again. I was shocked somewhat because few Oscar winners seem to want to do that with and "unknown" which I kind of was in those days. When waiting around we talked once about Errol Flynn who I think did 8 pictures with her, back in the Warner Bros, days. She said all the bad press he got on being Pro Nazi and other things, was to quote Her. "was ridicules, and believe me I knew him better then anyone." Joe Cotton,all the way back with Wells in "Citizen Kane," was a regular guy, and was the star of the first film I did, still in New Orleans, It was entitled "The Steel Trap" with the wonderful Teresa Wright. I was an extra and scared to death standing next to him in a big scene. The title of this ABC TV movie was something else and they changed it after we started shooting. Olivia really hated the title saying, "All the audience will see is my face screaming from this title."I wrote this because you all liked the picture so much. Thanks Ed Nelson
