Director James Wan is known for his passion for Horror movies. So it is not a surprise at all, that Dead Silence turns out to be a very enjoyable Movie about puppets coming to life. Instead of going the direction towards Child's Play this movie sides more with Puppet Horror such as Annabelle, but before you already turn it down just by hearing the title reference, you can relax. Dead Silence succeeds where Annabelle has failed in my opinion, simply because James Wan is getting his effects done right. I am not really sure if I like Ryan Kwanten in the leading role, but this may only be me. The acting was good and I was really happy to see Bob Gunton in the role of Jamies' father. It's been a long time since I have seen the villain of the glorious The Shawshank Redemption and even though he of course has aged I noticed him right from the spot. If dolls are creeping you out, this movie will do just fine to add some chills to your spine. Enjoy!

I don't get why this isn't rated higher. I haven't been this creeped out and disturbed by a movie since the original Halloween. I think James Wan needs to get more props for his movies. I thought it was extremely well done and Wan also somehow added a little bit of the old "creepy haunted house" within the movie with, in a way, a touch of the old Frankenstein movies feel to it with the Gothic-like dark and misty scenes that he wove into it. This is a must see movie. The best horror movie I've seen in a long, long time.

Wow, where to begin with this movie... I took my two kids, Leliana and Tony, to see it in theaters and we were not disappointed!This movie was perfect for my kids, cause they love dolls and stuff like that. It was very family-friendly, taught good lessons about being nice to old people, and it even inspired my daughter's new hobby of collecting dolls! Billy is just so charming, with his little tuxedo and red bow-tie. I think it's funny that this movie got misplaced in the "horror" genre.Anyways, 10/10! Very cute movie.*Ok, but seriously, this movie scared the crap out of me...

This not scary. It is not a 6.2. It is a 1. Stop hyping it. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. Do not see this movie. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this an awful movie. If you want to get scared see Child's play. Do not see this movie. It is pooh pooh that stink more then most pooh pooh. If you see this movie you will not get scared. If you want to get scared see Child's play 2. Do not see this pooh pooh from the black pooh pooh. That is what they could called it pooh pooh for the black pooh pooh. This movie stinks like pooh pooh. Child's play 3 is scary. This is pooh pooh.
