Surprise! Chuck Norris made a science fiction/horror movie, and the ‘80s Grue Crew decided to cover it. Unfortunately, none of them are Chuck Norris fans, and one even has a bone to pick with the martial arts champion and actor. Silent Rage (1982) features Norris as the town Sheriff and a fine supporting cast: Stephen Furst (Babylon 5), Steven Keats (The Last Dinosaur), William Finley (The Phantom of the Paradise), Ron Silver (The Entity), Toni Kalem (The Sopranos), and Brian Libby (The Shawshank Redemption). To the Crew’s thinking, Stephen Furst might be the best reason to watch Silent Rage. There’s nothing really new here, but nothing really wrong either. The Crew still has fun with it, but be forewarned. This is one of those episodes where they frequently go off the rails. Oh, well.
At the time of this writing, Silent Rage (1982) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Tubi, and Plex, as well as multiple PPV sources. It is also available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Mill Creek Entertainment.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Crystal, will be… wait. Let me check that again… Yup. Crystal has chosen Nekromantik (1988), the film Wikipedia calls a controversial “German erotic exploitation horror film … banned in a number of countries, … due to its transgressive subject matter (including necrophilia) and audacious imagery.” Oh, goody. The things the Grue Crew watches so their Grue Believers don’t have to. Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].
