    • Goofs
      Dr. Prell and Karl talk about how the code of the Voltaire demands no body bruises and how a victim must be scared to death. Later, at the big breakfast, they go around toasting past party hosts, bringing up highlights which include an avalanche and auto crashes. Wouldn't those two scenarios inflict body bruises?
    • Quotes

      Karl: We practically pulled every trick out of the bag. Maybe we should just kill her and be done with her.

      Dr. Ernst Prell: No Karl, no. The code of the vulterie demands no body bruises. No, she must be frightened to death.

      Karl: I have an idea...

      Keith Henshaw: [pointing shoutgun at Prell and Karl from a nearby doorway] I don't think so, put your hands up.

      Dr. Ernst Prell: Really, Keith. I thought you were asleep.

      Keith Henshaw: I mean what I said, put your hands up!

      Dr. Ernst Prell: Well be reasonable.

      Keith Henshaw: PUT 'EM UP!

      [Keith pumps shotgun and fires a shot at the two men. Both Prell and Karl are unharmed and look amused as Keith pumps the shotgun once more]

      Keith Henshaw: .

      Karl: Try me.

      [Keith fires another shot, as Karl smiles]

      Karl: .

      Dr. Ernst Prell: Be reasonable Keith. The shells in that rifle are as inefectual as the ones on Tom's rifle.

      [Keith is hit in the head from behind by Laughing crow and knocked out]

      Dr. Ernst Prell: . Ha-ha-ha.

      Laughing Crow: [grunting laughter] .

    • Alternate versions
      The VHS tape from Lightning Home Video is taken from a cut TV print that is missing much of the gore and the entire prologue sequence. The DVD from Retromedia Entertainment is uncut but due to rights issues the song "Popcorn" has been eliminated and replaced with a generic synthesizer tune.

    Cheap, stupid, tacky, ridiculous, inept, sleazy...
    In other words...a must see! Five minutes into this epic genre masterpiece you'll forget that wannabe horror films like PSYCHO and THE EXORCIST even exist. SHRIEK truly is the one.

    Four college students are invited by a professor to go to a secluded island to investigate reports of a killer Yeti/Abominable Snowman. But First they attend a happenin' 70s party complete with groovy music, fashions and that legendary disco instrumental "Popcorn," which sounds like a bunch of kernels popping. A guy walking in accidentally bumps his head on a low-hanging ceiling light! Another professor from the college warns the four students not to go, but his wife nags him and wants to leave. When the couple return home he cuts her neck open with an electric carving knife!! He jumps into the bathtub fully clothed and cracks open a beer, when his still-alive wife crawls in the room, throws in a toaster that isn't even plugged in and electrocutes him!

    The four students decide to go anyway and are attacked and killed by an awful white creature that looks more like THE SHAGGY DOG than a Yeti. The filmmakers decided it would be best to blur out of the face of the monster so we never even get a good look at it. But wait! There's more! The monster is actually (surprise!) a guy dressed up, and the island is home to a cannibal clan who want the students as dinner. Wow!

    Full of hilariously awful acting, dialogue, FX and editing, this effort from the untoppable husband and wife team of Michael and Roberta Findlay is a laugh riot that deserves a cult following. It belongs with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE at the top of the so-bad-it's-good genre. More people should see it. For fans of this stuff, it's a classic.

    (Quality) Score: 1 out of 10 (And I mean that in a good way!)
