Dead Silence
Directed by James Wan
DEAD SILENCE is set in Ravens Fair, a small town haunted by late night whispers and ghost stories of generations past. But when a grieving widower returns here for his wife's funeral, he begins to uncover the truth behind her mysterious death and how it may relate to Ravens Fair's own history--a history that includes a psychotic ventriloquist-ghost and her lifelike "dummy". From INSIDIOUS masterminds James Wan and Leigh Whannell, DEAD SILENCE is an underrated, gothic creeper.
A ventriloquist's ghost and her lifelife dummies terrorize a small town.
Cast: Donnie Wahlberg, Amber Valletta, Ryan Kwanten

LOVE THIS! Amazing acting, direction and creepy! Moves very fast. Ending is one of the best ever.
Genius. Loved the way it ended
Kind of a typical possessed doll movie but has enough recognizable actors and good atmosphere to warrant a good review. Worth the watch, maybe even a second round to catch some things you may have missed.
It was a chore getting through this. The visuals are great, with noticeable red colors cutting through the gloomy grey, classic cobwebs and thunder and lightning imagery, and the use of old cars, a record player, and the old camera giving the setting a timeless feel. Even Mary Shaw when she was alive looked sinister and spooky. Its main weakness is the story and script, which is just hokey as can be. I was sighing and rolling my eyes several times throughout. All style, no substance.
Worth the watch.
