Blast of Silence in The Onion A.V. Club
Keith Phipps at The Onion A.V. Club writes on Allen Baron's Blast of Silence: "Working with a miniscule budget, Baron creates charged compositions out of found locations and makes a virtue out of the film's cheapness...Baron's background was in painting, illustration, and the occasional acting job, not filmmaking, but his directorial debut reveals him as a natural behind the camera. As Herk Harvey's brilliant one-off Carnival of Souls did with horror, Blast of Silence brings in all the notes of the noir genre, but makes them move to its own rhythm."
