31 Days of Horror Movie 03

From a Whisper to a Scream
1987
TGG Direct DVD

This is one of the great Vincent Price's last films. I had heard of it for years. I think I might have even owned a VHS of it before. But don't remember ever watching it. Grabbed a DVD with this and Theater of Blood for $5 a few days back.

We get 4 stories in this anthology film. The framing device is a historian telling the stories about the town to a reporter. Out of the four stories only the one about so Civil war soldiers being held by a houseful of orphans appealed to me.

Mr Price plays the story teller. And he is the highlight of this pretty subpar film. Directed and produced by Jeff Burr, From a whisper to a scream is the second film Jeff made. I have found Burr to be an under-rated director. With his Leatherface TCM III being a great film.

From a whisper to a Scream gets a D+. And that is only for Vincent Price. Who can make even the most dreadful film somewhat watchable.
