Best twist since saw
This movie is made by the same folk who brought us the saw series. If you're a fan of the saw films i highly recommend this, even if you are just a fan of the horror genre this is a must see movie.
This is original & fresh. By the time you get to the end you think you've worked out what's happening...... The twist will leave you jaw dropped for days, after leaving the cinema i couldn't stop thinking that was the best movie twist i've seen since saw. A good bumpy spooky ride.
DON'T SCREAM......
Not totally dead silence, just about a murmour !
Theres something sinister about ventriloquist dolls isn't there... its the eyes I think, there have been doll horrors before, and there will be more in the future, but these wooden weirdo's are particularly disturbing. Its not the best or most threatening horror there has ever been but the end is worth the wait, and as ventriloquist based horror goes, it is just about passable. Anyway I'm off for a drink and a practice... 'gottle of geer' (anyone see my lips move ?).
Dead Silence
Ed Gonzalez"You are forcing me to use the word 'perplexed,' " remarks Donnie Wahlberg's investigator in James Wan's Dead Silence, reacting to a preposterous excuse Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) gives him for why he didn't kill his wife. But "inexplicable" is more like it. Beginning with Wan's appropriation of the 1930s Universal Pictures logo and an introductory lesson in Latin derivation (venter = belly, hence ventriloquist, the subject of the movie), Dead Silence piles on its befuddlements. The movies have always asked us to suspend our disbelief, but Dead Silence demands our ignorance of its own derivations. A conflation of the horror genre's laziest tropes, plot angles and shorthands, this inept creation isn't so much a film as it is a smorgasbord.
Why does Jamie dec...
