Mountain Cry (喊山) is a 2015 Chinese drama film directed by Larry Yang. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Ge Shuiping.

Set in a remote village, the story begins with the sudden death of a husband and father whose family is new to the village's tight-knit traditional community. In the aftermath of that tragic event, the villagers come to know and understand the man's widow, a mysterious mute with a story to tell and the power to tell it wordlessly.

Production started in early October 2014 and principal photography will take place in Shanxi.

The film was the closing film at the 20th Busan International Film Festival.

Justin Chang of Variety called the film a "forceful small-town melodrama [that] offers a sweeping indictment of human vindictiveness."
