adonis98-743-186503 A young widower returns to his hometown to search for answers to his wife's murder, which may be linked to the ghost of a murdered ventriloquist. Dead Silence has it's fair share of flaws for sure and it's far from being one of Director's James Wan's but it also has some thrilling things to say about it such as a very creepy vibe including dolls and a creepy old lady plus the acting was pretty decent as well. The twist although very clever and disturbing i did expected a bit more as well plus the cinematography was very good with the pale colors. (7/10)
jacobjohntaylor1 This not scary. It is not a 6.2. It is a 1. Stop hyping it. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. Do not see this movie. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this an awful movie. If you want to get scared see Child's play. Do not see this movie. It is pooh pooh that stink more then most pooh pooh. If you see this movie you will not get scared. If you want to get scared see Child's play 2. Do not see this pooh pooh from the black pooh pooh. That is what they could called it pooh pooh for the black pooh pooh. This movie stinks like pooh pooh. Child's play 3 is scary. This is pooh pooh.
Davis P Dead Silence is a horror film directed by James Wan, so you automatically know it's going to be good. James Wan just does great work, simple as that, and dead silence is no exception. This movie did not receive good reviews from film critics and I can't figure out why. This had everything anyone would ever look for in a quality horror movie. First of all, it actually pretty good acting, which is actually something that isn't terribly common in this kind of movie. I especially like Amber Velleta in her role, very fine performance on her part. The script suffices, it may not be the best script for a horror movie you've ever seen, but it's not bad. Not at all. It has plenty of scary scenes that involve a strong creepy factor. The dolls were the main contributing factor that created the creepy feel throughout the film. Even the very first opening sequence features a very scary event that occurs to someone the lead knows. I suggest this horror film for anyone and everyone who enjoys this kind of movie. No it's not on a paranormal activity or insidious level, but it's pretty entertaining and scary. 8/10.
David Roggenkamp Dead Silence is one of those horror films a person wants to watch for grotesque creations, nightmarish things from their youth that scared them to death, and of course a hero that chooses to face his bully and get down to the bottom of things. This is basically a horror movie, gone psychotic thriller and turns into something wonderful as the story and theme develops.Having said that, Dead Silence features old manors, gossip, old rumors from times gone past and includes themes from different teen slashers of the era. The hero is out to find the cause of his girlfriend's death, only it won't be revealed until just what is going on towards the end of the movie. Like all movies, Dead Silence features a multitude of twists along the way – an inspector and police agency suspect the hero is out to be the actual murderer – so not only does the plot revolve around this boyfriend trying maintain his innocence, but avoid the same fate as his girlfriend.As the movie poster will attest – there will be ventriloquist dummies and plenty of them. These things are scary to the right person (they are to me), and they will be creepy enough to make you flinch and squirm. But don't scream; that is the entire premise of this movie – you scream and well, you get the idea. You are going to die one way or the other if you investigate the mystery behind the dummy on the poster.This movie is about teen slasher, references to the first 'Scream' movie, and a haunted spirit that wants revenge. All things will be wrapped up nicely once the movie credits roll. You don't want to miss this movie if you like the thriller and especially the horror genre.Movie review originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=499)
