Dead Silence
Jamie returns to his hometown in search of answers to his wife's murder, which occurred after receiving a weird package containing a ventriloquist dummy named Billy, which may be linked to the legend of ventriloquist Mary Shaw. Destined to find out the truth, Jamie goes to the town of Raven's Fair, where Shaw used to perform and is buried. But Jamie is in for more than he expected. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Silver Nitrate is about magic and film, it's great. Dead Silence is the classic premise of a small crew happens across an abandoned ship in deep space and discovers that Something Horrible Happened, played fairly straightforwardly, but it's one of my favorite premises so i enjoyed it a lot
unlabelledView post →DEAD SILENCE is like a playground movie for James Wan: he got to do things behind the camera he couldn’t do in SAW, while practicing stuff he would perfect in INSIDIOUS and MALIGNANT • #HorrorSky

unlabelledView post →fun little incident from this concert Performer: "We're gonna play a non-Ghibli song, this is from the movie Kikujiro, has anyone seen that film?" Me, loudly, expecting at least one other person in the building to have seen the film: "WOO!" *DEAD SILENCE OTHER THAN MY VOICE ECHOING*
unlabelledView post →I never saw James Wan's haunted puppet movie DEAD SILENCE (2007) until now. Turns out it's Wan way more in MALIGNANT mode than SAW mode, which explains why it went over so poorly at the time. But I really dug its absurd mythology and enthusiastic style.
unlabelledView post →Dead Silence (2007) is a movie about why you should never trust a ventriloquist. It's also a movie about an evil ass woman that: a. Deserved vigilante justice, and b. Still wins at the end. It's great. James Wan really said "I support women's rights AND women's wrongs" with his whole chest

unlabelledView post →Tonight while furiously making things for a street fair I have Saturday I revisited Dead Silence. I still love this movie: it has a weird 00s plot, good scene lighting, and a somewhat clever twist.
unlabelledView post →What’s a dumb movie you will stan to the end of time? I gotta go with Dead Silence. I get why people hate it, but it’s such a lovely throwback to the old Hammer films and I can’t help but love it
unlabelledView post →Movie: Dead Silence (Unrated) It's okay, but not great. For a little one though, it's the perfect horror film that relies on jumpscares. I had fun watching my little sister get terrified and constantly jump during the jumpscares. #filmsky #horrorsky

unlabelledView post →11. DEAD SILENCE (2007) Forever James Wan’s most underrated. DEAD SILENCE is a precursor to all the filmmaker’s soon-to-be signatures. Maybe I’m a sucker for doll horror, but whatever, this movie is spooky to the max. Exactly the brand of horror movie I want to watch on a Friday night.

unlabelledView post →Far as I'm concerned, until actual proof of life or a coroners report shows his death was recent, every proxy vote he cast should be nullified. Dead men don't get to be puppeted around like that horror movie Dead Silence.
