Storyline

Clark, a young Mathematics major at University, thinks she's found the best deal for student housing: a group of squatters who live in an abandoned hospital secretly. The quirky residents let her into their community provided she follow the rules, including not telling anyone about her living arrangements. All seems wonderful, until she discovers that the reason that the hospital was abandoned was a series of murders in the 1940's by a strange "shrieking killer" who was never captured - and the discovery that someone who's living in the hospital is using occult means to bring back the "Shrieker," a demonic force summoned and controlled by a human who knows the proper procedure. When strange occult circles are discovered, Clark finds herself the main suspect, because she is the newest resident.

User Reviews

Shrieker my verdict.

Well here it comes this is what I thought after watching this film 📼. I gave it four stars ✨ after reading the other reviewers words. Not much action going on too much talking and only at 72 minutes long very short film 📼. The producers should or could have put some more effort and horror to make the film, at least 90 minutes long. Well that's my point so over and out for jacey.
