Sorry, this movie sucks

People are voting emotionally.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The above line of dialogue pretty much sums up this low budget slasher film. Although the acting is bad and the plot twist is inane, I did find a few positive things in this dreck. First off, we get a twist from the typical summer camp slasher, as this is a winter camp slasher. A group of students has been helping their professor with a semester long research project. To thank them, the prof sends them to a weekend retreat at his remote Michigan cabin. Which leads to the second positive: a LOT of people get killed, and it starts pretty quickly. There's even some decent gore, considering the micro budget. But on the bad side, almost all of the murders are shown twice. What the heck?? This film is twenty minutes too long anyway, so it's all just padding. In a nod to the classic 80s slashers, we do get boobs and sex, so combined with the gore and high body count, this wasn't a terrible way to spend an evening. Still, it's mostly inane and recommended for fans of slashers and overdone Michigan accents.

Me and my boyfriend rented this "horror" film (thank goodness we didn't actually buy it and waste more money.) Well to start off the acting was terrible and so was the actual story and you realise how pointless it all was at the end when you realise that it was all a dream the students were having. How dumb an idea is that, its like they didn't know how to end it and all they came up with was this crap ending, it was all a bad dream, how lame. You could tell it was a low budget film with the bad direction and script. All the characters were so annoying and i wish they had actually died, they didn't have a brain between them. The "killings" were terrible too, and i know that the killer takes a while to die like in most films but how many times does he need to get shot and hurt to actually die? Don't waste your time or money!

This movie is so bad I don't even want to joke about it. The only Raison d'être of this review is warn people to stay far away from "Silent Scream". For a friend of mine it's already too late, as he blind-bought this rubbish on DVD, but you can still be saved if you just manage resist the promising-looking cover image and the pictures of ravishing girls on the back of the box. "Silent Scream" is as bad as low-budget teen horror gets, with a plot that gets more retarded with each minute that passes, the dumbest characters in history (even though they're supposed to be psychology students) and dialogs so painful they make your ears cringe. One could state that the body count is remarkably higher than usually the case in slasher films, but even then, the murder sequences are totally uninspired and the complete lack of continuity and/or a plausible plot is simply intolerable. In order to thank the entire class for helping with his dreams-manipulation research, a weak-acting psychology professor rewards them with the keys of his vacation resort on a snowy Michigan island. The first part of the group arrives and have some mindless sex and too much tequila before getting slaughtered the exact same night by an individual wearing a hooded winter jacket. The second group arrives the day after and teams up with the last two survivors of group one. Unfortunately they offer a little more resistance to the killer and even come close to escaping the island. Then comes the hopelessly predictable and imbecile twist-in-the-end. The script is just a non-stop series of stupidities, dire clichés and insufferable stereotypes. The empty-headed characters say the dumbest things at the most inappropriate moments and, as if that wasn't bad enough already, they constantly repeat themselves as well. Especially the male lead Mark is a pitiable character, as he keeps nagging to his ex-girlfriend that he still loves her even though they're being chased by a maniac holding an axe. All the girls are great eye-candy (except for Melissa Schuman who tries to act too much like Sarah Michelle Gellar) and some of them even show their ravishing flesh, but they're just too stupid and obnoxious to be likable characters. "Silent Scream" is boring, irritating as hell, ugly to look at, poorly directed and completely unoriginal. Next time you pick it up in a shop or videostore, just put it back.

I don't know what was worse - the cheesy elevator/porn/supermarket music that almost made my ears bleed. The acting which was that of some dodgy attempt at a channel 5 soft porn or Horror channel rubbish!! The death scenes, hmm without spoiling the movie (not that thats possible)were at best laughable - the killer kept the messy scenes for outside the cabin yet managed not to spill a drop inside, except on tiles areas for easy cleaning ;o) obviously owned the place lol. I mean twisting a girls head off - not on this planet lol!! not to mention that goddam AWFUL attempt at a twist?!?!?!? manipulated dreams? AYE RITE!! Watch this movie, I dare you.... but don't say you weren't warned!!
