If Silent Madness had been less concerned with throwing 3D effects in our faces and more concerned with an interesting script, it might be a more memorable movie. They take the usual escaped mental patient storyline and adds in so many subplots and character you can hardly keep track while being surprisingly tame and bloodless for an 80's slasher movie. Viveca Lindfors as the unhinged sorority house mother gives the film's most spirited performance but Belinda Montgomery is likable as the film's lead.
