Dead Silence - 6.5/10
A decent one-time watch. It's not much scary, at least for seasoned horror watchers... but some scenes are nicely taken and will scare/shock average viewer. The camera work is really well done and cinematography is really pro-level. Visually the movie is right there in building the ambiance. Unfortunately though, despite so many plus points the movie lacks a soul and remains just another horror movie that's well done. The sound design could have been much better and it definitely would have helped building the atmosphere, as this movie being related to ventriloquism and all. The story and specially the climax leave some loose end, which was bit disturbing, though not a deal breaker. Sometimes it's works really good to leave some questions unanswered and let viewers run their imagination, but here it doesn't work that well.
But, surely recommended... worth spending your time and money , renting and watching this on DVD (or others ways if you prefer so).
