After the two remaining doctors are killed, the killer goes after Dr. ![]() Tom Halman tries to terminate the killer, but he and his wife are killed. Philip Spires, operates on the killer and brings him back to life using a formula that the three doctors made and the killer is made indestructable. The killer attempts to flee, but is shot and killed and is taken to a medical institute. The killer is still in the house and he tries to kill Dan, but Dan stops him and arrests him. "It's over." All's well that ends well.Silent Rage Blu-ray delivers great video and audio, but overall it's a mediocre Blu-ray releaseĭan Stevens is the sheriff of a small Texas town who checks out a disturbance which turns to murder. "Is it over?" she asks when they hear a kersplash. He keeps on coming till they shove him down a well. It's smashing.Īlas, the sheriff and his girl have no such luck with the monster who just keeps reviving - after they run him down with a truck, knock him over a cliff, throw him out a sixth-story window, etc. There's also a great, silly scene in which Norris, using his feet like a dog having his tummy tickled, defeats an entire gang of bikers at a local dive and grill. If this is the comic relief, when can you come up from under your chair? Well, there's a disco love montage between Norris and perky little Toni Kalem, who plays a researcher at the Institute. He tells of giving his first puppie a bath by swishing it around in the toilet. The coquettish Charlie confesses to some pretty grim experimentation of his own. Not because he's incredibly out of shape and dumb as a post, not because he can't drive a squad car. ![]() Couple Furst's incompetence with a scene like this one and you know real fear:Ĭharlie tells Sheriff Dan that he just isn't made for law-enforcement. ![]() What could be more frightening than an indestructible murdering mutant? Consider the unbelievably horrifying performance of Stephen Furst as Charlie, the sheriff's deputy. Alas, it deranges his cellular structure, leaving him speechless, ornery and virtually indestructible. He is given an experimental serum, which, like chicken soup, couldn't hurt since he is brain dead anyhow. Tom Halam (Ron Silver) - save his life via genetic engineering. However, a B-plus goes to director Michael Miller for holding it to one whack per customer.Īnyway, after giving the maniac time to do his damage, Sheriff Dan Stevens and his posse arrive, shoot him till he looks like a sieve, then take him to the Institute for medical care. "Silent Rage" is a kicky new film with martial artist Chuck Norris hoofing it up as a small-town sheriff with toes of death - a curious footnote in a formula horror film that borrows liberally from "Halloween II" and "Frankenstein."Īs in "Halloween II," the antihero is a psychotic ax murderer who, despite his psychiatrist's best efforts, takes out his Freudian flip on innocent townspeople. ![]()
