7/10
Great Downbeat Horror
7 August 2019
Jeanne Crain plays a woman suffering from PTSD after seeing her preacher husband brutally murdered by a Manson-like cult. She ends up babysitting for the children of the judge who convicted the Manson-like cult leader and strange things start happening. Could this man and his followers have returned to settle the score?

The Night God Screamed has been unfairly hidden and buried since the VHS days. It's not exactly a lost masterpiece of terror, but there's a lot of great suspense on display and a really downbeat and spooky ending that I didn't expect. This seems to be Jeanne Crain's attempt at a "hagspoitation" film and she does well with her role.

If you're expecting buckets of blood, this movie might not be your cup of tea. It's still incredibly brutal and intense at times for a PG movie.
