Press Notes

Blast of Silence is "DVD of the Week"

Richard Brody praises Blast of Silence in the New Yorker's online "Goings On" section: "The story is standard issue, but what [director and lead actor Allen] Baron does with it is amazing; his graphic sense is on view from the first image, a cosmic abstraction that bursts stunningly into grim reality, and his conception of the character, blending the heat of hatred and the chill of method, is unusual and fascinating...With its blend of feverish psychological spirals and meticulously detailed grunge, Blast of Silence is a wonder, a small-scale classic."
