I loved everything about this movie.
Great Director --> Check
Good Storyline --> Check
Originial Plot --> Check
Good End Twist --> Check
Super Violent --> Not Check
This movie was original. It wasn't based on a book and it wasn't a remake. It wasn't super violent. It was gross in some parts but it wasnt super violent. Don't get me wrong, I like blood in movies, but SAW III was almost too much for me... This i guess would be considered a Training movie for someone who wanted to start watching scary movies. I recommend it. Very Good.
I am a big fan of horror movies and I like horror movies that have a different story line so if you are like me you will LOVE this movie. Most people are freaked out by ventrilaquist dolls, which that right there makes a great basis for a truly scary movie. I have seen ALOT of horror movies so I guessed the ending (I was Right!), but that doesn't mean this movie is predictable. There were a lot of twists and turns. And some definetly scary scenes. I recomend this to anyone who wants to see a GOOD ORIGINAL horror movie. And remember don't scream ;)
I actually liked this. It was sort of boring in parts, but it managed a very good atmostphere and some decent thrills. Also, Mary Shaw's make-up was very well done and effective. I'd say it's one of the better recent horrors, and completely agree with BD's assessment that it's the best ventriloquist dummy movie ever.
I think the reason so many people were disappointed with this movie was because it was childish . . . but that was the point. It was a more in-your-face take on all the old childish puppet movies. The ending plot twist was amazing and not one of the pathetic clichéd plot twists that everyone knows (such as the one in The Descent).
You’ll either enjoy it for the more balls-to-the-wall approach at a classic tale, or you’ll find it too childish. That’s your opinion. But I didn’t find this too childish whatsoever. Stephen King’s book IT, on the other hand, had me laughing at every part that was meant to be “utterly terrifying”. Now THAT is childish horror.
But I can understand why some people cannot take Dead Silence seriously. I can also understand why some people may find it terrifying. In the end, either way I look at it, I’m just glad someone is finally doing something that isn’t as predictable as 90% of horror movies out anymore.
Honestly,
The best ghost movie in the past 9 years (since House on Haunted Hill 1999). Unique character background and a "killer" twist at the end added to this fun Ring-esque film.
I thought that although it was quite creepy and great scares and effects... it did drag a little.
If things had been a little more interesting and not so dull looking, the movie would have been so much more improved.
The story was great and could have been worked with so much more.
But i love this movie for the fact it is a ventriloquist doll movie, not many have been made, but this one by far scares the absolute shit out of me.
And the ventriloquist woman herself was amazingly scary. The effects are amazing with the look of the folm and the characters.
Atrocious. I've seen an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer dealing with the same subject matter that frightened me more. 'Dead Silence' is one of those films you realize you hate about 5 minutes in, but stay the duration to see just how bad it gets. And believe me when I say it folks, this floater collects more flies as the seconds pass. Donnie Wahlberg is hilariously bad as the smart-mouthed detective with an electric shaver (has to be seen to be believed).
I really like this movie cause it had some original characters and actually got me creeped out, the unrated version is what ruins this movie. In the unrated version for some reason they put in a cgi toungue with completely ruins the eerie feeling the movie gives off. The silencing effect that eliminates sound after sound one at a time is a brilliant effect that made the thear silent, my heart was thumping like crazy lol. And why is the detective always shaving!!!!!
