Voiceless is a 2015 American Christian psychological thriller film written and directed by Pat Necerato and starring Rusty Joiner, Jocelyn Cruz, Victoria Gates, and James Russo. It was given a limited release in the United States on 7 October 2016.
It was universally panned by both critics and audiences, who condemned it as "hideous anti-abortion propaganda".
Jesse Dean, a young and mentally unstable war veteran, risks his marriage and new ministry job by opposing an abortion clinic in his Philadelphia neighborhood, an obsession that slowly drives him insane.
Filming took place between 18 August and 30 September 2014.
Opening on a hundred screens in a limited release, the film grossed about $250,000 on its opening weekend. By the end of 2016, it had grossed a total of $418,940. [1] The film won 2 Best Feature Film Awards at the Northeastern Film Festival and the California Film Awards, along with several Best Actor Wins for Rusty Joiner, the lead, and Victoria Gates for Best Supporting Actress [2]
Kristian Lin of Fort Worth Weekly, in a review titled "Voiceless: Abort! Abort!", wrote that the film "has a gritty Northeastern urban setting with a modicum of nonwhite characters, and it plays with the element of doubt with its main character. If only it added up to a good movie." [3]
