In a rainy afternoon, the young couple Lisa (Laura Regan) and Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) anonymously receive a mysterious package with a weird dummy inside. Jamie leaves the apartment to buy Chinese food, and when he returns, he finds Lisa dead, totally disfigured and without her tongue. The snoopy detective Jim Lipton (Donnie Wahlberg) blames Jamie as prime suspect. Jamie finds in the box a reference to their hometown and he drives to the decadent Ravens Fair for the funeral services of Lisa and to investigate the legend of the ventriloquist Mary Shaw (Judith Roberts). His father Edward Ashen (Bob Gunton) and his young wife Ella (Amber Valletta) disclose that the woman was accused in the glorious days of Ravens Fair in the 40's of abducting and killing a boy that yelled with her on the stage. The locals, including his father, chased her, cut out her tongue and killed her. On the next years, the cursed families and descendant of the killers has had mysterious and creepy deaths, with the tongues removed and faces disfigured. Jamie goes to the old theater in Lost Lake trying to find evidences of his innocence and discovers that Mary Shaw was constructing the perfect doll, and that the spirits have long memories.
I like ghost stories and "Dead Silence" is above the average of the genre. The film has a magnificent cinematography, reasonable performances but something was missing in the story to make it excellent. The surprising final twist does not give satisfactory answer why Jamie survived for so long. The explanation could be because he has not screamed along the story, but anyway I was not satisfied with the fast paced conclusion. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Gritos Mortais" ("Mortal Screams")

I watch horror movies on a regular basis. I can't say I expect much from many of them simply because many are built around old standards. Unfortunately this film was entirely predictable with no chills and/or thrills throughout the movie. There weren't even the cheap laughs of the ludicrous just a slow meandering of poorly executed plot and a pretty boy.
The concept was there, when aren't creepy little dolls a little scary but it failed in its attempt. Movies such as "Dolls" or "Puppetmaster succeeded in creating a more eerie atmosphere and a stronger background or "Dead of Night" who utilized the more innate qualities of what makes a ventriloquist dummy so strange and off-putting

This movie was one of the most unintentionally funny pieces of cheese I've seen in years. I had a good time at the cinema, but not quite in the way the filmmakers intended. I knew what I was in for when the hero uttered the line "In the town where I grew up, we consider ventriloquist dummies a bad omen." The whole theater erupted in laughter. Every cliché in the book every cliché in every book, for that matter is ham-fistedly crammed into this bit of silliness. MST3K fans will enjoy "Dead Silence" because it's so reminiscent of "Devil Doll." The town cemetery is as full of gaping plot holes as it is unquiet graves, and for some odd reason the director thought that a homicide detective who walks around constantly shaving his five-o-clock shadow was more quirky than ridiculous. By the 30-minute mark, you'll be itching to reach through the screen and spray some WD-40 on the evil doll's squeaky eyeballs. And don't spend too much time wondering why the grieving husband props the doll up in the back seat of his car instead of carrying it in the trunk. Or why the scriptwriter didn't name the villainess "Hall" or "McCall" instead of "Shaw" if he was going to write a poem where her name had to rhyme with "dolls." Bottom line see "Dead Silence" for a good laugh. Don't go in expecting to be scared, intellectually stimulated, or visually excited. You'll never look at an electric razor without giggling again.
