Silent Madness

A computer mix up at a mental hospital leads to an accidental discharge of a madman who murdered several sorority girls many years ago and, now that he's on the loose, he heads back to the scene of the crime to terrorize a new batch of sorority girls. Silent Madness doesn't do anything that we haven't seen in other sorority slashers and, in actuality, the script feels much less interesting in sorority slashings than medical world drama between doctors and psychiatrists. Some of this drama is interesting, but you might find yourself wishing they'd have focused a little bit more on giving the horror elements a boost.

Mostly predictable slasher flick with one nice twist towards the end and some fun 3D effects. The story itself sounds more interesting on paper than it ends up in the film, but it's anchored by a great performance by Belinda Montgomery who seems to think she's in a much classier film than she is. Viveca Lindfors chews up the scenery in the best way as the housemother of a sorority where a series of brutal murders took place. It's not a movie you'll remember much about when it's over, but it's not the worst way to spend 90 minutes of your time.

Psychotic serial killer with traumatic past is accidentally released on an unsuspecting world.He promptly returns near his place of staying and begins to stalk and kill teenage sorority girls."Silent Madness" features Sydney Lassick,Viveca Lindfords and two cast members of "Sleepaway Camp".It's a watchable slasher flick with heavily censored and thus bloodless death scenes.The action is quite slow and there are some drawn out and uninteresting scenes.The gore is also absent;only one death on an exercise machine is pretty shocking and creative.Still if you are into slasher sub-genre you can give this one a look.Recommended for fans of "Doom Asylum" or "Final Exam".6 mental asylums out of 10.

A murderer is released by accident and he returns to the sorority house which functioned as the scene of a crime he committed many years ago. In the meantime, a doctor from the hospital tries to find him before it's too late. The basic structure calls to mind Halloween with its escaped mental patient returning home to kill again as the doctor tries to stop them, but it seems less concerned with suspense and more concerned with silly 3D effects. Some death scenes are creative, but it's lacking the blood usually associated with the horror films of this time and, without scares, it could have used a little excitement in that area.

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!

Silent Madness was originally shown in 3-D in the mid-80's. Basically it is your average sorority girl slasher film. A mental patient is accidently released from a hospital and pretty soon college kids are being killed. The murder sequences are decent and I'm sure the 3-D helped the scenes, even though I never saw the film in 3-D since it's theatrical run was probably like 6 days! Throw in a little twist ending and you have a solid genre offering!

This movie was originally in cinemas as 3D, unfortunately I saw it in 2D, so maybe I lost some of the amazing effects! This is a very typical horror movie where all the characters make all the obvious bad mistakes. The plot is a re-hash, the acting poor and the music awful. The only thing that got my attention was Vivica Lindfors playing the head of the girls school. She also played the English teacher in John Cusack's movie 'The sure thing'. For horror buffs only.
