nick s @Nick_S Feb 12 The movie had good production value, with nice camera work, fairly good soundtrack and competent acting. Rebecca Balding was great. Unfortunately it was let down by poor storytelling. For a horror there wasn't enough tension or intrigue. See more Ian S @RT48225084 Nov 30 Well filmed, but pretty obvious and run of the mill. Some good veteran actors wasted. Nothing very interesting or surprising just a very average genre film that cherry picked better movies of it's type. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 24 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Steve D @RT35616104 03/13/2023 It is too slow and unscary to work. See more 01/09/2014 The crumbling seaside board house makes for a creepy setting to begin with, and this slasher ramps things up nicely in the latter half, building to a cat and mouse of a climax that actually left me a little nervy, as it's shot in a fairly unique and quiet manner that you don't find in a lot of horror films. Well worth a rental. See more 09/03/2013 A somewhat forgotten horror film, THE SILENT SCREAM is modestly effective at establishing a creepy mystery story within the confines of a "mad killer" framework. The script does a nice job of giving us a group of fairly likable college students who are staying at a boarding house run by a family of weirdos. It seems - at first glance - to be a pretty conventional type of slasher film (albeit one that never feels sleazy or exploitative; it's actually a fairly low key affair), but it gets a bit more complex than just that, and the ultimate resolution of the story's central mystery works well. It's worth noting that the film predates the formation of the so-called "rules" of this genre, and it's interesting to see the movie actually break a couple of them, which is somewhat refreshing. THE SILENT SCREAM isn't anything ground-breaking, but it's perfectly fine for what it is, and nowhere near as stupid as it probably should have been. See more Read all reviews
