    "They Don't Have No Minds To Examine!"...

    Due to budgetary constraints and human error, homicidal madman Howard Johns (Solly Marx) is released from a mental institution. Dr. Joan Gilmore (Belinda Montgomery) attempts to figure out what went wrong, while Johns heads for a sorority house for a night of murderous mayhem.

    SILENT MADNESS is another forgotten slasher from the golden age of the sub-genre. As such, it has a certain charm. All of the prerequisites are in place: A maniac on a mission, beautiful female victims, nudity, gore, and an explanatory flashback sequence.

    The sorority sisters are all suitably silly, and Marx's goggle-eyed portrayal of Johns is gleefully crazy. Ms. Montgomery is believably exasperated.

    An enjoyable enough ball of bloody yarn.

    Watch for Sydney Lassick as the Sheriff and Viveca Lindfors as the -underused- house mother...

    This truly has a classic 80s slasher feel to it you'll thoroughly enjoy

    Silent Madness (1984) is a movie that was highly recommended on Twitter and is available for free on YouTube. The story focuses on the head of a Psychiatric ward who releases an inmate and blames it on a computer glitch. A group from the ward tracks down a trail of murders to a sorority house where they hope to finally catch the killer. This movie is directed by Simon Nutchtern (Savage Dawn) and stars Belinda Montgomery (Tron: Legacy), Vivica Lindfors (Creepshow) and Sydney Lassick (Carrie). This was a fun old school slasher film with some better than expected kill scenes and predictable but well done sequences. The premise was also entertaining as was the dialogue between characters. This truly has a classic 80s slasher feel to it you'll thoroughly enjoy. I'd score it a 6-6.5/10.

    3 times more effective in 3-D

    I recently saw a nice 35mm print of this in a collection of a friend who had a print that hadn't been run that he had held onto for 20 years. Appropriately enough, I saw it on Halloween.

    The film itself is entertaining and keeps the viewer's attention. It's a generally psychological thriller about a killer that through the error of a psych ward that's been having seedy events behind the scenes. Most of the plot is predictable, and the acting is pretty mediocre, but the cinematography and good locations coupled with some clever moments make this one worth seeking out (even moreso in 3-D).

    Some notes about the film: Apparently it opened in LA in 3D and pretty much did a roadshow tour. By the time it hit NY, it was being shown flat, which goes to show it really sort of hit the tail end of the 3D craze of the early 80s, which is too bad, because the photography in this one is tenfold that of anything else that was being done at the time (it was done with the over-under polaroid process, not anaglyph, and this was the way it was presented to me). Several murders have some great effects that really work well in the 3-D.

    The film, while not being totally obscured with nobodies, does rise to the occasion with some character actors. The sheriff, a security guard and the housemother of the college make for some interesting roles and those actors/actresses stuck out in my mind as being some of the most memorable portrayals. Not too much gore, and everything is done well enough to leave the imagination up to the rest. My hands got sweaty during the show, so I was somewhat tense.

    Worth catching if you can, particularly for an indie production. 7/10

    Madness... is served.

    Reasonably obscure, low-budget comprised b-grade slasher item with a misogynistic edge (though light exploitation) and with a scathing blast on the processes of a mental hospital. As it stands there's nothing really out of the ordinary, but for such a trimmed production it's commendably done, as I went in expecting something truly inept. Still some might find it so and it's not completely flawless. While the death sequences can look laughably kitsch, few do show bits of innovation (though the killer seems to pick off whoever is about with no real pattern to it) and some scenes looked like they were made for novelty 3D, and coming to this site I found out it was the case.

    Howard Jones is a psychotic in Cresthaven asylum, who ten years ago massacred some sorority sisters at the Omega Sorority house. By accident he's released into society, and heads back to Barrington where the original massacre occurred. Dr. Joan Gilmore discovers the mishap and tries to get something done about it, but the staffs seem to want to cover it up. So Gilmore goes to Barrington to convince them that Jones has returned, before he begins his bloody rampage again.

    Quite predictable and dry, until it crops up with a shock ending (that's obviously hinted early on) and an unusual revelation that kind of brings it down to tell the truth. The pacing is too limp, as little bit of urgency would have not gone astray. Director Simon Nuchtern's genetic handling has its moments, by managing to build upon the characters and ominously growing situation. Sure sometimes it was clunky, but he tries with the tired material at hand. However being diluted of suspense and atmosphere, it wallowed on murkiness and a clumsy sounding score that incoherently pounded out the notes/cues.

    The characters aren't particularly sympathetic, but Belinda Montgomery as Dr. Gilmore is believably resistant in her solid portrayal. Roderick Cook enthusiastically works as one of mischievous doctors and Sydney Lassick is rather facetious as the lazy sheriff. Viveca Lindfors shines in her small part and Jeffrey Bringham was sturdy as the psychotic killer. Low-budget horror/b-movie fans will have a treat with the support cast with likes of Solly Marx (who's mainly a stunt-man), Katherine Kamhi, Paul DeAngelo, Dennis Helfend, Paige Lyn Price and the sorely forgotten b-actress the lovely Elizabeth Kaitan.

    An undemanding slasher effort, though make sure get the uncut version.

    Decent paint by numbers slasher film

    O.K here is yet another mid-80's slasher film. I remember this film briefly playing in the NYC area. It was originally shown in 3-D. Basically a routine, mental patient escaping from the insane asylum to kill sorority girls film. Overall, it's fairly watchable. Decent pacing and photography help. The sub-plot did not. The little twist at the end worked. The killing sequences were average. I missed it in 3-D so I can't say if the 3-D sequences were good. If anyone saw it in 3-D let me know! I recommend Silent Madness to those who are used to this kind of stuff already. If you only appreciate big scale films, don't bother you won't appreciate it. If you appreciate low budget grind house cinema of the 70's-80's you will enjoy!

      Many viewers have speculated that the character of Dr. Krueger and the boiler room scenes are references to Nightmare - Dal profondo della notte (1984). However, this film was shot in 1983; a year prior to Nightmare's filming in 1984.

    • Versioni alternative
      The UK cinema and video releases were edited by the BBFC as follows, with the cuts carried over to the 2002 DVD release:
      • When the woman's head is crushed in a vice, all close-ups are removed, along with all shots of blood.
      • The sight of a dart embedded between a woman's breasts is taken out.
      • Sexual dialogue about a syringe being twisted in a female doctor's buttocks is cut ("And when her pants are down...you get my drift, pal?").
      • Shots of a deep gash in a woman's back and blood/gore on the weapon are removed.
      • We do not see the electric prod superimposed over a female victim's face.
      • The sequence in which a drill penetrates a man's skull is largely edited out.
      • The scene of the doctor being chased through the air vent is shortened, with shots of spinning blades removed.
