Movie Reviews of Dead Silence (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: An interesting take on the horror genre.
Summary: 3 Stars
An evil old woman's ghost is haunting a nice little town, except she's making her puppets do her sinister bidding. The puppets do a good job of appearing to be creepy, having said that they are far from intimidating. I don't understand why the human race is scared of things like puppets and porcelain china dolls but we are. The movie isn't all that bloody or gory, but it dos have some being a horror movie and all. Interestingly enough the goriest moments in the movie are the pictures they show depicting what happened to the old lady and her victims in the past. The acting isn't bad, just don't expect anything oscar worthy. Overall the movie isn't very scary, but it might get some cheap jumps out of you.
Summary of Dead Silence (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
You Scream. You Die.Dare to unlock the deadly curse of Mary Shaw From the writers and director of Saw comes a new thriller of relentless terror! Ever since Mary Shaw was hunted down and killed the small town of Ravens Fair has been haunted by horrific deaths. When a local's wife is brutally murdered he returns home to unravel the terrifying legend of Mary Shaw and the reason why when you see her you should never ever scream.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?UNRATED UPC:?025192884924 Manufacturer No:?61028849Billy in Dead Silence inevitably recalls other possessed dolls such as those in Devil Doll, but he is an entertaining dummy nonetheless. As a variation on evil-doll films like Child's Play or Puppet Master, Dead Silence stars a dummy who isn't a killer himself but a vehicle for a vengeful ghost. Previously owned by Mary Shaw, a ventiloquist who was murdered by local Ravens Hill villagers for kidnapping a boy to turn him into a human puppet, Billy houses Mary Shaw's spirit while she gets revenge on all those who killed her. Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) unravels Billy's mystery after Billy is delivered to his door to claim Jamie's wife's life, since she is pregnant with Jamie's son. Mary Shaw aims to obliterate his entire Ashen clan, since they were partially responsible for her death. Plot, from there, teeters on the ridiculous, as Mary (via Billy) rips peoples tongues out left and right. Jamie's futile attempts to stop Shaw's ghost result in his discovering a gruesome secret about his brutal, abusive father. Writer Leigh Whannell and director James Wan, of Saw, made this almost comical film about 101 dummies, all relatives of Billy's, who are slaves to their sadistic creator. With many direct references to '80s horror films, and a soundtrack theme song almost exactly like Phantasm's, Dead Silence's charm banks on its lack of computer-y special effects rather than its originality. Billy's sly violence is creepy but funny, making for a relatively lighthearted horror film that won't traumatize as much as it makes one chuckle. -Trinie Dalton
