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!
