Has less blood and mutilations.

This was my very first viewing of Silent Scream, thanks to Kino Lorber’s 4K release, and it’s a fairly dull sit until the denouement, with very few scares and head scratching scenes that lead nowhere.

Although impressive from a perspective of technical acuity, the indifferent impression left by 1979's "Silent Scream" reminds you that slasher-movie serendipity is often in short supply.

An interesting assortment of aging has-beens merges with a dull collection of young never-weres to produce an increasingly dopey chiller.
