Dead Silence

After finishing this film, however, all I could do was applaud.Dead Silence isn’t really a horror film in the traditional sense, but rather a mystery film dressed in gothic aesthetics.Dead Silence doesn’t rely only on jump scares—its sense of horror is constantly present. An empty town, an abandoned theater, dust-covered puppets, and a nursery rhyme that should never be heard all combine to create a slowly tightening gothic **** only place where this film loses to is in the memorability of its characters. But the thing is—Mary Shaw is simply too powerful. She is absolutely one of the most underrated horror villains.What truly elevates Dead Silence from a B-movie horror film to something close to a classic is its final twist. In this regard, only can really rival **** there’s still one thing I’m curious about: was Jamie’s stepmother actually possessed by Mary Shaw, or a “perfect doll” created by Mary Shaw?

I do not remember liking this film the first few times I watched it but now that I've paid a little more attention to it I've thoroughly enjoyed it! Anyone who has a fear of creepy dolls will be in a living hell that's for sure as Jamie investigates his girlfriend's death and the suspicious doll that turned up when it happened. It goes at a good pace but really picks up towards the end for one hell of an ending that I can't believe I forgot :P Overall a solid Horror film worth a look!
