My World Dies Screaming (1958) Reviews

Member Rating:

The "psycho"-logical melodrama My World Dies Screaming was appropriately released on a double bill with Lost, Lonely and Vicious, which also featured a profoundly disturbed protagonist. In My World, Gerald Mohr plays Philip Tierney, who hopes to expunge the inner demons plaguing his wife Sheila (Cathy O'Donnell). He persuades her to return to the crumbling old mansion where, as a child, she witnessed a brutal axe murder. Incredibly, the killers do not return to finish the job; instead, the audience is treated to all manner of pseudo-Freudian symbolism as Sheila subconsciously battles her way towards normalcy. My World Dies Screaming isn't bad: it's just that the films substitutes style for substance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I really loved this movie! You have to use you pause button to appreciate the sublimal pictures that are flashed across the screen at key points in the movie. The clarity of the film is good as is the audio. The probs I thought were good too. It was funny to read in the credit about how the wardrobe of the heroine was supplied by a special designer when all she mostly wears through out the movie is her long, white night gown. The story was good and the acting good too. I really enjoyed this movie and it makes a perfect popcorn Friday night movie for the fans of the old B-movies from the 50's and 60's. So rent it and enjoy being frightened by the mind-altering psycho-rama!!! All you needed to make this movie truly great was to have Vincent Price walk down the staircase! SUSAN L.

I love the old horror movies for an occasional night of fun to just watch the acting and the props and actually, in that sense, this movie wasn't half bad. The subliminal messages were a hoot!! If you can slow your player down enough to see them, that in itself makes this movie worth renting!

Bad everything! Would've worked better if the actors had used the gun on the writer, the director, the cameraman, and saved the rest of the bullets for themselves.
