The premise

Scotty moves into Mrs. Engels' seaside mansion where three other college students are boarding. Mrs. Engels prefers to stay in her room in the attic, but her son Mason helps the students get settled. Soon one of the students is killed. The policemen on the case begin uncovering the Engels family secret as the remaining students become endangered

Horror Vault's take

A college student named Scotty joins a small group of boarders in a sprawling seaside mansion presided over by the reclusive Mrs. Engels, whose son Mason acts as an unsettling intermediary between the tenants and whatever lurks above. When a fellow student turns up dead, detectives begin pulling at the threads of a deeply buried family history. The grand old house conceals more than cobwebs, and the remaining boarders grow increasingly vulnerable as the investigation closes in. Silent Scream blends old-school Gothic atmosphere with late-70s slasher tension in a way that rewards patient viewers.
