Dead Silence

Posted on Oct 16, 2007 at 9:09 am by DrBlood

After all the annoying over-promotion on MySpace, I wanted this to be bad and to really have something to get my teeth into here but I ended up quite liking it.
I think that I must have been feeling a bit fragile at the time because it almost scared me once or twice.
It was as predictable as could be though. Every scare and jump scene was telegraphed and most of the dialogue was pretty awful too but it was nicely filmed and had a genuine creepiness about it that just worked.
The dolls themselves didn't really do a lot but the ghost of their owner was suitably scary in a "Toothfairy" kind of way.
Yes, this has a lot of similarities to "Darkness Falls" but it was done a hell of a lot better. Whoever did the set dressing was very talented indeed.
I really liked the twist at the end too. The backstory helped to create a lot of suspense and I didn't see the final revelations coming at all.
Unfortunately, because of the ending, it really isn't something you'd watch more than once.
It was very entertaining while it lasted and at least tried to be different but it should have been slightly better.
