Steve D Only notable for the great leads. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A series of murders at a NY apartment building has police zeroing in on the unusual doorman as its prime suspect. Largely cliched piece directed by reliable character actor Tony Lo Bianco. Watch for more affordable rental rates soon at The Royal Arms. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is both funny and terrifyng. Most of the acting is up to standard but there are a few terrific performances, (Chet Doherty as The Slasher, being one!) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member What you would expect from a TV slasher movie--Mannix, Tarzan's Jane and Mayor Vaughn in one slasher movie!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Although there is isn't too much originality & it's pretty bloodless I won't be to harsh on Too Scared To Scream. Sure it drags a bit in spots & the dialogue is sometimes terrible but I had always want to see this movie. I like the New York scenes in this, there is some gratuitous nudity to hold my interest & I didn't figure out the killer but to be quite truthful I didn't even try. Basically an American giallo w/ absolutely no style. Im generous but Ive seen much worse but in the same breath Ive seen much better. For completists Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very routine and predictable thriller, it does have some tense and scary scenes but they are generally cliched. It?s main problem is you have seen it all before and it certainly lacks originality. The character development is weak, as is the direction and screenplay. Anne Archer is terrific though.
