From a Whisper to a Scream


 

This is a 1987 horror anthology film directed by Jeff Burr and the stars includes Vincent Price, Clu Gulager and Martine Beswick. 

After a woman is executed for a notorious crime, her uncle is visited by a journalist. It's set in a library where we're taken to four small stories to link the film. The first story is about a shop assistant's obsession with his boss,  a beautiful woman who spurns him. The second story is about the dangers of immortality when a violent man is saved by a witch doctor. The third story about a tragic love story of sorts, of a man cursed and under control of a dangerous woman. The fourth story is about American civil war soldiers who end up in a refuge of nightmare kids. 

This was made in an actual historic building dating back to the Civil War period and it was reported strange things happened. It was made in 1985 but wasn't released until 1987. The film is based in the town of Oldfield, which is a fictional place. Perhaps too violent and gruesome, with black hearted humour as well as nudity. The make-up is horrible! I rate this a grotesque 4/10.
