Dead Silence is nothing if not entertaining. I mean that. The movie is worth watching only if you enjoy bad movies.
The plot. A little old lady, who does not live in a shoe, has no children and only dolls. And then one day a boy makes fun of her because he can see her lips moving so the doll, a ventriloquist doll, must righteously prove its existence by throwing a temper tantrum, as little boys are wont to do. Then she calls the boy a dummy by asking a rhetorical question. Then the boy goes missing, then the fathers of the town freak out and they murder her and she's buried and now what, you may ask? After all this, what could come next? It follows logically that the old woman lives on through the dolls and whenever you see her and scream she rips your tongue out. Anyway, this is where the movie starts. And ends I guess because you've seen this kind of movie an hundred times.
What separates this movie from all the others is the creepy fascination with dolls and real life. I'm sure we could get into a discussion on, say, dolls mimicking life and humans trying to mimic the perfect little dolls, but I'm not Salman Rushide. If you've ever thought clowns were creepy and thought dolls also were creepy then this movie is for you to watch. Creepy, creepy, creepy.
The twist at the end is worth the wait. Its not that long a movie. Its passable the whole way. So go ahead and watch this movie on your light fantastic toe. Laugh at this movie, its clever.
