Silent Scream - 1979

 I'm busy! Sorry, ok. It's summer,  I'm out hiking and camping and I have not been very interested in watching movies. 

So I Google lesser known slasher movies and this comes up. I've been rewatching Friday the 13th with my girl and I do like these so much that I immediately thought of that today when I was thinking of putting something on while I worked. 

Silent Scream is a pretty early slasher,  another one to add to the proto list,  but obviously after Halloween. Silent Scream also copies the idea of the older actor coming in with gravitas so this starts Cameron Mitchell as a cop guy. 

Silent Scream plays out as we follow our main girl Scotty as she seeks a place to live. She finds a boarding house run by the mousey Mason who lives there with his enigmatic mom and sister,  and few other roommates. They all get to know each other and the roommates go to the beach where one of them is murdered. Now it's a murder mystery and a few more bodies show up while the cops investigate. 

Silent Scream is a relatively tame one,  a movie without a whole lot to say but I guess at the same time it was early so I can't exactly slam it. It's pretty good! Overall. But not exactly great. It goes down easy and it's fine overall,  probably a solid 2.5 stars.
