Silent Scream (1979) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - January 13, 1980
Although I had a friend that would paraphrase Silent Scream's hyperbolic tagline as, "Boredom so sudden, there is no time to yawn." I enjoyed the movie, for what it was. Silent Scream would also be the second time I would see Barbara Steele on the big screen at the Alameda Southshore Twin. The first time having been way back in 1978, when we went and saw Piranha. At least she had dialogue in that movie. In Silent Scream, which also seems to be her final film appearance, I think, she was silent throughout.

I also got a kick out of seeing actor-comedian Avery Schrieber, who I recognized from his Dorito commercials and game show appearances, in a small, and serious, role as a cop.
