Rating:  - Glasseater and that is all I have to say about that!!
I was talking to a friend one day about horror movies, and my friend asked me if I had ever seen From a Whisper to a Scream. My friend basically looked at me as if I had eight heads and he responded with the comment and I quote "You have not seen this movie and you call yourself a horror fan?" so my friend in disgust refused to speak to me until I saw this movie. I found the movie for a decent price, and needless to say I was blown away by this movie, I went into viewing this movie not expecting ... Read More
Rating:  - 0.5 STARS: From a Whisper to a Wimper to a THUD!
Vincent Price is a great actor, and he does well in his part as Julian in "From a Whisper to a Scream". However, Price is not enough to save this disastrous anthology. With four forgettable tales about the town of Oldsfield, Tennessee, "From a Whisper to a Scream" just never gets off the ground. I found the four tales lacking in substance and in style. There is plenty of blood, but it just isn't enough to make the movie worth your time. I would describe "From a Whisper to a Scream" as dull and just ... Read More
Rating:  - Nicely Depraved
I really like "From a Whisper to a Scream", it caught me off guard. I was not expecting a truly depraved quartet of stories and was assuming it would be more in the vein of the Amicus Studios anthology films. Those were a little "cleaner" in their presentation and now seem dated. This film really captures the feel of the old "Tales from the Crypt" comic book and results in an excellent choice for horror fans. I especially liked seeing Vincent Price in the wrap around segments as he brings a nice air to the ... Read More
Rating:  - "...one is never too old for nightmares."
The 80s saw a mini-resurgence of the horror anthology film format popularized in the 60s and 70s, primarily by a studio out of England called Amicus (affectionately known as `The Studio That Dripped Blood'). This new crop included The Monster Club (1980), Creepshow (1982), and this little, late entry nugget titled From a Whisper to a Scream (1987) aka The Offspring, to name a few...co-written and directed by Jeff `Mr. Sequel' Burr (Stepfather II, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, Puppet Master 4), ...

Rating: - "Welcome to Oldfield, Tennessee. Population: Deadly!"
1987's FROM A WHISPER TO A SCREAM (a.k.a. THE OFFSPRING) is a horror anthology that offers four fear vignettes tied together by a weak, though well-acted, wraparound featuring genre great Vincent Price. Price portrays the town librarian of Oldfield, Tennessee, whose niece has been executed for a series of brutal killings. When a reporter (Susan Tyrell) comes snooping around for the "story behind the story," Price explains that it is the town and its history that drove his niece to become a serial killer, and ...
