“Lets Start A Family” In When The Screaming Starts UK Trailer

What if Louis Theroux met the Manson family for one of docs, what would it be like? It might be like Conor Boru‘s comedy horror, When The Screaming Starts. Ahead of it’s world premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest, Riotous Films have released the film’s official UK Trailer.

In this one, Aidan Mendle has a dream; he aspires to be an infamous serial killer. So when struggling journalist, Norman, is invited to follow Aidan on his journey, he believes he has finally landed his big break.

I don’t like to be negative towards new filmmakers, personally I didn’t find it funny. I do wish new filmmakers all the best and leave the judgement to your own self.

When Norman Graysmith is invited into the home of an aspiring serial killer, Aidan Mendle, he believes he has found the subject for the documentary that will transform his failing career. Initially the production goes well with Aidan freely opening up about his desire to kill, but when his early attempt at committing murder falls apart, things begin to unravel.

Aidan desperately tries to maintain his position as the next Charles Manson by starting a murder cult, interviewing prospective for what he affectionately calls his “family”. The potential candidates provide a rich tapestry of misfits, from the lost and confused to the (most likely) psychopathic. Events begin to spiral out of control and Norman watches his dreams crumbling around him.

A wannabe serial killer, a warped filmmaker, and a murderous cult on a blood-soaked rampage. When The Screaming Starts is a darkly comic tale of how far we will go in order to achieve our ambitions.

The film stars Ed Hartland, Jared Rogers, Kaitlin Reynell, Octavia Gilmore, Kavé Niku, Ronja Haugholt, Vår Haugholt and Yasen Atour.

When The Screaming Starts will have its World Premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest 2021 on 28th August [more info]. No info yet when the film makes it’s general release.
