This is a watchable take on the old madwoman in the attic trope with likeable leads though it does give away its central secret a little too early in the film making the climax seem drawn out. A student fails to arrange her accommodation in advance and ends up in shared lodgings by the sea with three other students and a weird family. Cameron Mitchell is rather superfluous as the detective on the case.
Rebecca Balding ( as Scotty )
Sex : Scotty sleeps with co-student Jack
Death : Survives
This was Rebecca's first film role after a number of TV appearances. She worked mainly in TV afterwards making the biggest impression in Soap and, towards the end of her career , Charmed. She retired in the mid-noughties to run an internet store. She died in 2022.
Barbara Steele ( As Victoria )
Sex : No ( as her older self played by Barbara)
Death : Falls on her own knife
As Barbara has no dialogue, she must be the silent screamer of the title.
Tina Tyler ( as Victoria at 16 )
Sex : Victoria is pregnant
Death : See above
Apart from an uncredited appearance in Star 80 in 1983, This was Tina's only film role.
Juli (sic ) Andelman ( as Doris )
Sex : No
Death : Stabbed by Victoria
After being an extra in Mean Streets, Juli went into TV until this came along. Her remaining five screen credits were haphazard until her death in 2005.
