If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A young model and her petty thief boyfriend find their way through the English fog to a backwoods manor in hopes of looting it. What they find instead is murder, and when the model attempts to find the house again, her efforts come to naught.They've changed the title to Scream and Die for some reason. The other title was so much better.Doesn't make the movie any better. It's very slow and very dark. Could barely see the characters. It's not a good movie at all. Bad acting. Dumb storyline. Horrible print.Don't bother with it. Unless you want to be bored to tears

As a great fan of British Horror cinema I have seen my fair share of films, and I can honestly say that "Scream... And Die!" of 1973 is arguably THE most boring British Horror production I ever laid eyes on. It is not necessarily the absolute worst of all British Horror films I've seen, but it is possibly the most tiresome, which is even more disappointing since the name of director José Ramón Larraz raises high expectations, regarding his mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful "Vampyres" of 1974. Anyhow, Larraz obviously went a long way in the one year in-between "Scream... And Die!" and "Vampyres", as while the latter is a fascinating film, this one is a complete mess filled with clichés that offend the intelligence of every viewer who has seen more than 10 Horror films. This is not yet my main complaint, however. While the film has a decent (but by no means memorable) start, and catches up a little towards the end, there is a approximately 50-minute period of hardly endurable boredom in-between. Admittedly, the film has its positive aspects, but I still find it hard to believe that half of the reviews on this are actually positive. There are some nicely eerie settings, and several bits of weirdness, but that is no excuse for two thirds of the film being tiresome beyond belief. The only true saving grace is the ravishing leading actress Andrea Allan, a stunning beauty who has the habit of taking her clothes off for no reason occasionally. Except for the charming Miss Allen and the decent settings, however, there is little positive to say about "Scream... And Die". The idea of a mask-making 20-something weirdo, who looks like he's 14 and who likes to go beyond cuddling with his 50-something auntie, may make the film a bit more worthwhile, but even less original (Norman Bates-wannabe #153.278.997 hooray!). Also it is not quite understandable why a ravishing model like Valerie (the character played by Andrea Allen) would, out of all people, fall for a lunatic mask-maker who looks like a little boy and is still living with auntie. Overall, "Scream... And Die!" does have its moments but the middle is insufferably boring. I sat through the whole film, but, in case one does wanna watch this, it is highly recommendable to fast-forward from the 20th to the 70th minute, and reduce the film to the part that is worthwhile (approximately 35 minutes in total). My recommendation, however, is to skip this yawner, and to go for director Larraz' great following film, the astonishing lesbian Vampire flick "Vampyres".

Despite all the bad things I'd heard about this film, I decided to go right ahead and watch it anyway as both the titles (Scream and Die, and even better, The House That Vanished) sounded interesting and director José Ramón Larraz did make one of the best lesbian vampire movies of all time with the excellent Vampyres. I have to admit that the film isn't quite as bad as I was expecting; there's a good atmosphere and a few decent moments of tension; but overall I have to go with the majority opinion here and say that the film is very dull on the whole and is mostly riddled with genre clichés. The film gets off to a promising start as a young couple stumble upon an old house in the woods. Being a thief, the boyfriend decides that they should loot it. However, instead of valuable items; the couple find a murder. The girl flees the house and the boyfriend vanishes. Naturally she tells people what she's seen upon returning to society, but her attempts to find the house again fail - the house has...errr...vanished. Anyway, she finds another bloke but the murderer is still out there...The film features the cheap looking and very cheap sounding British style that many seventies British horror films feature. José Ramón Larraz photographs the film well and gives it a thick and foreboding atmosphere that does benefit it; although it must be quite difficult to make a film about an old house and not have some sort of atmosphere. The plot is the biggest problem with this film as it is really boring and not much of interest happens. There's a murder sequence that sees a naked woman get sliced that's well done and it's one of the few highlights. José Ramón Larraz does make an attempt to make up for the lack of plot with plenty of naked women, most of which are quite beautiful so that was nice of him. There's not a great deal of gore in the film, though it does seem to want to incorporate as much of the Giallo style into the film as possible. The characters in this film are pretty stupid and make daft decisions, and this stretches all the way to the ending which is completely obvious and can be seen coming a mile off. Overall, I can't say that I enjoyed this film much and I can't recommend it either.

SCREAM...AND DIE! (or "The house that vanished" (1973))is the unknown piece of horror and sex that the master José Ramón Larraz did in England in the seventees. It's an erotic thriller with psychopatic murderer (Karl Lanchbury) perfomed by a beautiful model called Valerie (terrific Andrea Allan)involved in a haunting mistery and sadistic murders occurred in a isolated manor in the forest at midnights. Scream and die has an excellent and very particular quality in images and atmosferes. The movie is slow, yes, but this thing is normal in Larraz's movies: the story is very slow and predictable, but it's too sexy (the love scenes are really good and erotic) and brutal sometimes, and has the mark from the director of masterpieces as "Vampyres" and "Symptoms", both from 1974. The fog, tne night, the sounds of the killer walking with his black gloves following Valerie, the anguish in her face in her firsts shots, the slowly music give to the film a personal sight. The first murder seen by the hidden Valerie and husband as intimate witnesses and the escape from the manor are a classic composition of horror shots, wonderfully executed by the "voyeurisitic filmmaker" with a rare and genuine talent. It's a really brutal moment of sophisticated murder and "naïve" sex. Scream and die has the very personal "touch" of the catalanian director, all the constants that are in the most part of his baroque, sensual and horrific world (Emma puertas oscuras,La muerte incierta,Vampyres, Symptoms,Estigma,Whirpool, Deviation or Deadly manor) are present in here. The spiral of terror and tension grows very slowly -step by step- describing the world of this sexy model for fashion photographers in a continuated state of danger. Larraz creates a really personal style in a very traditional thriller that must be remembered by the tension,the british locations in Kent in winter,the quiet and dead moments of inusually fascination, the use of the photography, the artistic colors and the incredible dark shots of nights, the typical "english" fog, the horror moments and the clever sex that impressed me a lot in my adolescence. Scream and die has a kind of elegance in the horror genre that others horror thrillers hasn't. All the personal obsessions of José Larraz are here in a fine lesson of cinematography in his best period of his career, the british period. The fans of José Larraz need to know his firsts features, as "Whirpool" (1970) and "Deviation" (1971)-nobody has said anything more specific about these movies? (Please: more information and reviews in IMDB or other places,webs, etc.) and his last contribution tot the terror lately in "Deadly manor"(Savage lust, 1990)produced by his old british friend Brian Smedley-Aston. When the fans of José Ramón Larraz, Brian Smedley-Aston (editor of "Performance" ,etc.), his actresses and his horrific world will have a web or a personal page about the director? Where are the fans of this spanish/british filmmaker?. Goodbye!
