Das stumme Ungeheuer (1982)

Das stumme Ungeheuer: Directed by Michael Miller. With Chuck Norris, Ron Silver, Steven Keats, Toni Kalem. A sheriff tries to stop the killing spree of a silent maniacal murderer who, as the result of secret genetic experimentation by an unethical scientist, has the ability to self-heal.

“Silent Rage is actually a unique one. Chuck Norris is playing a bad ass cop as usual. However, he happens to be up against a Mike Myers/Jason-style slasher villain. What makes the film unique is that the film doesnu0026#39;t pull any punches in regards to this villain. Heu0026#39;s a murderous, unstoppable force who stalks and kills innocent victims in a way that would make Mike Myers applaud. The sequences of horror are actually scary thanks to some great direction and a very vicious killer, whose presence is always chilling.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course, this is a Chuck Norris film and there are some great martial arts fights. A lot less than you might expect from a Chuck film but at one point he takes down an entire bar of overweight bikers… and itu0026#39;s awesome!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhere the film falls flat, is the rest of the film. When the lead villain isnu0026#39;t going on a murder spree or Chuck isnu0026#39;t kicking fat biker butt, the film is a dreary, dull and clichéd mess. Itu0026#39;s as if the director of the opening sequence (a magnificent long take of a man finally snapping and going on an axe spree) left the project and a by-the-numbers director took over, only to return whenever the killer is next on screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s an interesting watch, even with its flaws. But hey, if youu0026#39;re a Chuck Norris fan you should know not to let a few flaws get in the way of your fun.”
