The killer is still in the house and he tries to kill Dan, but Dan stops him and arrests him. Silent Rage is a 1982 science fiction horror film directed by Michael Miller. It stars Chuck Norris as a sheriff who must stop a mentally ill man who goes on.
After the two remaining doctors are killed, the killer goes after Dr. Halman's sister Alison, and it's up to Sheriff Dan Stevens to stop him. I remember watching 'Silent Rage' along time ago when I was very young, and I could barely sit through the whole film because of the suspense. I would get up and walk into another room, then come back to check out what was going on. It was quite intense for a young kid.
I can certainly sit through the whole thing now, without trouble, but the movie is still suspenseful. And, like my one line summary says, this movie creates and maintains suspense better than a lot of the slasher movies that were being made back the the early '80s. This isn't a well known movie, but it's really one of Norris' best that he's been in.

He was offered the film by executive producer Paul Lewis, although he says Tony Under 'was really the mover and shaker who was essential to the whole thing.' He says 'The reason Chuck Norris wanted to do the picture – and I think it was the reason we all wanted to do the picture – is because it was a major studio picture.' Miller said the film was written with Chuck Norris in mind. 'You don’t hire Chuck Norris not to do karate.
It wasn’t like it was an old John Wayne script that they ended up giving to Chuck. He does his thing. I think the idea was to try and broaden the audience in that it wasn’t a karate movie. In my mind, it was a Frankenstein movie. It was like Frankenstein meets Chuck.'
Miller said the film was not inspired by slasher movies. 'I’m not a fan of those. When I read it, I thought that it was Frankenstein. That’s what I was heading towards.
We’ll have the mad scientists bringing this guy back to life. Chuck will have to try to apprehend him.'
Miller said Brian Libby was a stunt man who was a friend of Aaron Norris. 'He reminded me of Lee Marvin.
He came in and I thought, Okay, this guy can play Frankenstein’s creature. He was a real cooperative kind of guy. He never balked about anything.
I put him in a silver suit, and put him through a lot. A lot of other actors would have thought that was beneath them, but he wasn’t like that.' Miller said Stephen Furst's character was like. The story that Furst's character tells Norris about the dog came from Furst.Filming began on July 30, 1981 in Dallas. It took 30 days. Director Michael Miller called the film 'kung fu meets Frankenstein.'
Miller says Norris was most comfortable fighting. The actor improvised a love scene with Toni Kalem, 'and that was a big deal for him,' said Miller. 'I said, “Just talk and have fun,” I told him. He did, and it’s a nice little scene.' Release The film was released theatrically in the United States by in April 1982. It grossed $10,490,791 at the box office.Miller said he hoped to make sequels.
'At the end, the guy is still not dead. But that never happened. I would have liked that. You can see that this guy is not a slasher.
He kills people the way Frankenstein’s creature kills people. He throws them and bang.' Miller says the reason was 'I don’t think this was one of Chuck’s favorite pictures. He went to the screening, and I think that was the last time I ever saw him. He seemed to enjoy it, but he wasn’t sure it was going to work.
It was outside of the formulas he’d been doing. I think he was too much of a gentleman to ever say, “I don’t like this.” I just don’t think this was in his wheelhouse. He didn’t do any more slasher type pictures.' The film was released on by in 2001.released Silent Rage on demand on September 6, 2013. Reception called the film an unintentionally funny attempt to cash in on popular exploitation film tropes. John Corry of wrote that the only interesting scenes are those with the mad scientists, as Norris has no charisma or presence. Rita Kempley of called Norris' martial arts 'a curious footnote in a formula horror film'.
The Los Angeles Times praised the 'shrewd, witty script.' Norris said that he received negative feedback from fans over his love scenes. He subsequently resolved to avoid them in the future. Remake The film was remade in 2009 as Indestructible. See also.References. Retrieved 2011-07-28.
