Greetings again from the darkness. Kira is startled from slumber by a horrendous nightmare - a flashback to a years ago night when she was sexually abused. Her partner in bed knows nothing of Kira's vision, only that she's been violently pushed from bed, which is not her preferred morning method of waking up. As the story from filmmaker Tony Germinario unfolds, we learn more about Kira and the background that has her deservedly bitter.

Lynn Mancinelli (she also starred in Germinario's film BAD FRANK) plays Kira and does a pretty nice job of allowing us to understand the reasons for her dramatic mood swings. Even her sessions with her therapist are twisted ... a recurring theme in Kira's life. When she returns home for the funeral of her father, it's obvious her relationship with her mom (Kristin Carey) is distant at best, though she does seem to connect with her gay-artist-recovering addict younger brother Lucas (Emrhys Cooper). As with most other relationships in her life, this brotherly love may not be as solid as we are initially led to believe.

The small town where she grew up, and where mom and brother still live, is controlled by Richard Davenport (played by Richard Thomas) and his son Alden (Jon McCormick). While Richard presents himself as a charitable friend of the family, Kira's history with the Davenports generates something much deeper than mere bad feelings. Her hatred of the Davenports drives a further wedge in the broken relationship with her own mother - a mother oblivious to family secrets. Those secrets were kept in order to "protect" the mother, though it has created a kind of house of cards.

Kira is a raging alcoholic and her actions have caused pain and disruption to many others, but once we learn the whole story, her actions seem acceptable while the actions (or lack thereof) of others seem inexcusable. The pieces of this film that are worth watching are the performance of Ms. Mancinelli and the way Richard (John-Boy Walton) hides his true personality from others. It's a low budget film with atrocious make-up, uneven editing, and camera work that doesn't complement some of the scenes. As a statement for how sexual abuse can wreak havoc on the victim and their relationships, it makes an admirable point. As cinematic viewing, it's tough to recommend.

I was expecting so much more from this film, i evenwatched it for 50 minutes...nothing! Very bad acting from the people playing the 2 lead roles as the brother and sister. she acted like a spoiled child that someone had stolen her dummy it from. Just bloody awful. Perhaps this film was really made to showcase her assets? Really? No no no no no dont bother with this.

This movie is unbelievably bad. They must have paid the reviewers that gave it a 10." Terrible acting, storyline makes no sense, etc. There are people starving in this country-next time donate the money wasted on this production to a food bank.

B movie, bad acting, terrible filming, wrong people for the parts, and a terrible storyline.

Most of the cast did a good job. But, Lynn Mancinelli really depicted how shattered a victim could be. She radiated pain and rage. Jon McCormick and Emrhys Cooper were great too. The scenario was able to keep my tuned throughout the whole movie.

Well....so far I'm an hour in and absolutely nothing had happened yet. The lines are so corny and the plot has yet to be revealed an hour in. Boring to say the least Just a horrible movie.

A poignant film about a timely issue and its disturbing consequences. Unexpected twists. Clever foreshadowing. And, Richard Thomas - wow.

Really cool, dark film touching on some very topical themes. With everything going on in the world today, this is right on the mark and with some great acting, too. Starts slow but delivers on all cylinders. Good stuff!

Effective acting by the main characters, especially the make-your-skin-crawl job by the sinister John-boy. This film is edge of your seat stuff. Don't miss it.

Powerful performances on an emotionally charged and unfortunately timely subject. This film takes a look at the devastating long term consequences of sexual abuse for the victim and those around them.

Quality film! Would watch again and would highly recommend it to friends!

I watched this after Tony Germinario's, Bad Frank, which I loved. The performances are memorable. Chilling. and left me wanting more. I recommend for mature audiences, rated R for good reason and very well done!

The lead actress gives a solid performance and the entire cast seems dead on. Some great music, too. Kept you on your toes. Good stuff!

Great cast, great direction, Lynn Mancinelli is outstanding. A victim of such abuse has a mind which causes behaviors that are very complicated to understand let alone embody. Lynn does it and she does it well. This is a heavy moviem, but worth watching, especially in this day and age. And I'll never see John-Boy the same way again.

Richard Thomas is sooooo bad :) Such a current topic. This is happening more than we're aware. Root for good, you'll see. Okayyy.

Some great acting here with a very relevant topic. Strong across the board. Mancinelli does a great job.

As a woman I want to see more like this. Strong beautifully fragile and kicking ass. Lynn Mancinelli is super.

I was an extra in this movie (I appear about an hour in for one scene), so maybe my review will seem somewhat biased. However, despite a somewhat slow pace, Tony Germinario's thriller tale about a woman who returns to her home years after being abused at a party succeeds at making a strong statement against sexual harassment. Given that we have been seeing plenty of crimes like this happening in today's society, it's healthy to make a stand. Lynn Mancinelli gives a powerful turn as the woman in question, and similarly great performances are delivered by the rest of the cast. However, it's the tense, edge-of-your-seat finale that really makes THE PRICE FOR SILENCE worth a look.

There. I warned you I wouldn't be so critical.

Bravo! Great acting, great script and great casting!
