From the writers and director of “Saw”, the new thriller "Dead Silence" features not quite an unusual plot but the refreshing part is the mixture of ventriloquism and hand-manipulated dolls with the horror genre in this movie. Undeniably, the appearances of Mary Shaw "lifts" the audiences' mood instantly. As for her hand-made collection of dolls, not exactly evoking one’s fear factor but still viable in creating an aura of mystery in the movie. Nevertheless, the "dead silence" effect is especially notable throughout the film. This movie portrays the old ghost story in the town of Ravens fair and the secret behind the verse "Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She has no children except dolls. If you see her in your dream, do not scream!"... Back in the glory days of Ravens town, Mary Shaw was a ventriloquist giving performances at the old theatre. At the height of mental derangement and with a delusion of making the perfect doll, she was being accused of the murder of a young boy, when she was mutilated by vengeful townspeople who later buried her with her entire collection of dolls. Soon after, Ravens Fair has been plagued by unsolved mysterious deaths. As the plot develops, the above mystery surrounds the murder of Jamie's wife, the detective's investigation, the old couple living in Ravens town and the secret lurking behind jamie's father and so called step-mum. Unraveling the truth, most of the scenes set in Ravens Fair and those in the old Theatre at lost lake continue to elude the entangled pieces of clue as the plot slowly focal on not just Mary Shaw nor her dolls but her obsession to make the “perfect doll”. In the book with schematic drawing of dolls, there is a small flap marked with the wordings "Making the perfect doll"...at its back unveils the face of a women…. In truth, the spirit of Mary Shaw manipulates every crafted doll she attempts to produce to perfection at the back room of the old theatre. As she "silenced" every of the townspeople in Ravens fair and their descendants of descendants, Jamie’s wife Lisa is merely the latest victim as the last “Ashen” in her is not spared in her brutal murder at the apartment. Concluding with a strong twist, Jamie discovers his father's lifeless body and before he realizes everything, the scene ends with him screaming in the face of a perfected being.

What I loved most: Unpredictable ending, great sound effects.

What I really hated: Dry parts, boo.

First of all, I think it depends on the individuals on how you'll find the movie. For me, it's not that scary but kinda creepy but 3 of my friends are like "THIS is the scariest movie I've seen!" Mary Shaw(the ghost) was quite scary and the puppets are just, CREEPY. The thing I like bout this movie is that the storyline has a twist to it but you'll have to wait till THE END. I think it's worth it to watch it in the cinemas cos the sound effects are the one that gives you the *creep* to it. Overall, memorable. (:

What I loved most: Story line was okay

What I really hated: wasn't horrifying

the story line was alright. but the show wasn't as scary as i thought though. i thought it would be better. but overall, its sort of a nice movie.

What I loved most: nothing great

What I really hated: Too draggy, Dumb dolls, no suspense

This is the one of the worst horror films i ever watched. Some of my frens slept in the show. I suggest to stay away from this unless u r rich. Could have been worthwhile if the money was spent eating popcorn outside the cinema. The story is too draggy and the dumb dolls could only sit there and turn their heads and eyeballs. you wont see the dolls walking about. The level of suspense totally sucks. Dun worry, this show wont get u screaming. So u can keep ur tongue.
