When a preacher's murder sparks a campaign of terror, faith and sanity are stretched to the breaking point.
THE NIGHT GOD SCREAMED
Death is the only way out!
A woman is persecuted by Jesus freaks after they\'ve crucified her preacher husband.
Proof that the 1970s could make even Sunday school a harrowing experience.
Swap flower power for cult terror and you get this GP-rated slice of psychological horror, where a biker-hippie Jesus cult leaves more than peace signs behind. Jeanne Crain faces off against Manson-inspired maniacs and finds out that sometimes, the path to salvation is paved with exploitation.

The Night God Screamed is a 1971 American crime-horror-thriller directed by Lee Madden about a woman persecuted by a violent religious cult after her preacher husband is murdered.
Synopsis
Being rated GP, this movie relies more on (killer in the house) atmosphere & suspense, than blood guts & titties.
Why Cult
A messianic biker hippie cult delivers chaos and crucifixion in small-town America, channeling real-world tabloid nightmares.
Rated GP, the film leans into killer-in-the-house suspense and mental unraveling, not grisly effects.
Oscar-nominee Jeanne Crain stars as a widow hunted by religious zealots, adding gravitas to the exploitation scenario.
Themes of religious fanaticism and persecution are filtered through a grindhouse lens for a true oddity.
