‘When The Screaming Starts’ Unleashes Darkly Hilarious Murderous Mayhem In This Exclusive Clip

When The Screaming Starts

The mockumentary is known for poking fun at the world of documentaries. Films like Best In Show and This Is Spinal Tap are known for their hilarious takes on real-world jobs that are already ridiculous. Taika Waititi brought this to the horror world with What We Do In The Shadows where a group of vampires is trying to live their lives in modern New Zealand. Now, director Conor Boru is continuing that tradition with his new film When The Screaming Starts.

In the film:

Aidan Mendle has a dream; he aspires to be an infamous serial killer. When struggling journalist Norman is invited to follow Aidan on his journey, he believes he finally has landed his big break. But as Aidan and his newly recruited murder cult embark on a blood-soaked rampage, will Norman’s dream of becoming a renowned filmmaker turn into a nightmare?

In her review out of FilmQuest last year, Dread Central’s Sharai Bohannon wrote:

When the Screaming Starts is a laugh-out-loud funny dark comedy, and the film breathes a lot of life back into the mockumentary subgenre.

Conor Boru makes his feature directorial debut with a script he co-wrote with Ed Hartland. Hartland also stars with Jared Rogers, Kaitlin Reynell, Octavia Gilmore, Ronja Haugholt, Vår Haugholt, Yasen Atour, Kavé Niku, and Rob Tofield.

The release follows the film’s award-winning festival run, which kicked off with the U.K.’s FrightFest last year. It also included Popcorn Frights, Panic Fest, Telluride Horror Show, and London Independent Film Festival, where it was named Best Sci-fi/Horror Feature.

When The Screaming Starts hits Screambox exclusively on September 20, 2022.
