Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/06/2008 Run time: 91 minutes Rating: Ur Amazon.com: Billy in Dead Silence inevitably recalls other possessed dolls such as those in Devil Doll, but he is an entertaining dummy nonetheless. As a variation on evil-doll films like Child's Play or Puppet Master, Dead Silence stars a dummy who isn't a killer himself but a vehicle for a vengeful ghost. Previously owned by Mary Shaw, a ventiloquist who was murdered by local Ravens Hill villagers for kidnapping a boy to turn him into a human puppet, Billy houses Mary Shaw's spirit while she gets revenge on all those who killed her. Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) unravels Billy's mystery after Billy is delivered to his door to claim Jamie's wife's life, since she is pregnant with Jamie's son. Mary Shaw aims to obliterate his entire Ashen clan, since they were partially responsible for her death. Plot, from there, teeters on the ridiculous, as Mary (via Billy) rips peoples tongues out left and right. Jamie's futile attempts to stop Shaw's ghost result in his discovering a gruesome secret about his brutal, abusive father. Writer Leigh Whannell and director James Wan, of Saw, made this almost comical film about 101 dummies, all relatives of Billy's, who are slaves to their sadistic creator. With many direct references to '80s horror films, and a soundtrack theme song almost exactly like Phantasm's, Dead Silence's charm banks on its lack of computer-y special effects rather than its originality. Billy's sly violence is creepy but funny, making for a relatively lighthearted horror film that won't traumatize as much as it makes one chuckle. —Trinie Dalton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - You call that acting?The dummy in this movie is a better actor than pretty much everyone else in this film. Aside from that though, the film actually exceeded my expectations. Though nobody can deny that it's derivative, the director and writer manage to introduce a few original and exciting concepts (in terms of style) that save the movie from being complete dreck (they also stay far away from CGI! Yay!) Still, if you're looking for real horror, I wouldn't pick this. If you're looking for a fun, light ... Read More Rating:  - Dead silenceMy DVD arrived in like mint condition. I was very pleased. Thank you, Roger Rating: - A good old fashion ghost story!Okay, this wasn't too bad. Infact, I have to say that this was a very orignal idea to come from the Creators of Saw. Basically, it's about a guy who returns to his hometown after his wife is murdered and fines out that his wife's murder could be linked to an old ghost story. About a murdered ventriloquist and her dolls. The acting was okay in this movie. So, check it out for yourself. Rating: - Speak no evilI was in a mood recently for some good old scary movies and ordered three of them from Amazon. This is the first one I watched. I hope they are all this good!! This is an awesome, satisfying, well paced, well acted, fun, scary movie. C'mon we all hate ventriloquist dummies, don't we? If you hate 'em, watch this movie! I found myself sitting there with this huge grin on my face (even while covering my eyes)throughout the entire movie. Just trust me, this is good. Watch it alone, in the dark, with ...
