Dead Silence

Director: James Wan
(2007)

I don't know who or what convinced me that watching a film about killer ventriloquist dolls was a good idea or something that I might enjoy doing. The director of the supremely entertaining Saw Trilogy decidedly struck a wrong chord with this boring flick.

Hey! dont scream or you'll die! But screaming no, not screaming, yawning is what you'll be doing when you try watching this film.
Its ultimately about a film about a man who's interested in investigating the mysterious murder of his wife and finds out that her murder is linked to the murder of a ventriloquist whom one of his family members murdered in an earlier generation. As a result the ghost of the ventriloquist and her dolls that were buried with her terrorize the families of the people responsible for killing her. She cuts out your tongue and kills you but only if you scream.

The only thing slightly favorable about the film is the interesting twist at the end of the film which seems to be the Saw Trilogy's writers/directors' trademarks which they are succeeding at. Even in light of this, fair warning: don't waste your money or, furthermore, your time on this film.
