Silence of the Heart (1984 TV Movie)
7/10
Definitely worth the emotional ride.
8 May 2022
Well i was searching on Ebay for 80s movies on VHS that might have slipped under my radar, and recently on a Charlie Sheen tangent I decided to try this film. Was not anything like I thought it was going to be. Very depressing subject matter but I couldn't turn away. Gut wrenching, and raw emotions. This should be a must watch for young high school kids to help with their inner emotions and help see potential warning signs of friends on the edge. I was enamored with the film as it really fit the same style (Sheen as a co-lead) of the great 80s movie The Boys Next Door. As a matter of fact one of the heartthrob girls plays a similar role! And I even saw an actress from Just One Of the Guys in there too. Bit the best hidden gem for me was the inclusion of two audio tracks by the epic 80s band Was Not Was!! I've been a huge fan of their album Born To Laugh At Tornadoes and to hear two tracks from the album in the film really was heartwarming. And I was shocked their was no mention of any songs in the end credits!! Made For TV films weren't required to give copyright credits!?! Solid film 7/10.
