good atmosphere... and that's it.

Fun, dumb horror movie.

I thought this movie had potential but it just didn't follow through.

Shittier than feces

Contains the dumbest twist in movie history. Or should I say 'dummy-est twist'? Haha! Am I right?

James Wan seems to make movies that petrify mainstream audiences, which is probably why the horror and underground community don't really take him seriously. Heard this was one of the scariest movies of the last decade, which of course it isn't. There are a couple of creepy moments but the entire thing is just the usual b-movie schlock. The twist, nonsensical and retarded as it is, is kind of fun. Better than Insidious but worse than Saw.

Sigh. Why does the horror genre attract the laziest, dimmest, most juvenile people in the business? Give us adults, please! Talented adults writing horror!

A reasonably good Horror that had it's ups and downs with some good scares here and there, and who wouldn't be freaked out by those creepy dolls! I think the general idea was good but it just got a little dull in parts and there were moments where there wasn't enough happening to keep me interested. Acting was decent, and Aussie Ryan Kwanten did a respectable job, but nobody else really shined. There was also a very impressive twist at the end but it didn't make up for the film being average.

The tagline of this lazy horror film excuse urges us not to scream. Well, there aren't a whole lotta reasons to scream in a somewhat intriguing but utterly inept thriller that, despite it being competently made, comes apart due to a dire lack of chills. Jamie Ashen must be one of the most idiotic and uninteresting protagonists ever -and Kwanten, sorta charming in "True Blood", is so absolutely bland in the role, that he gives us simply one more reason not to care. "Dead Silence" is dead indeed.

I remember having seen it, although I couldn't claim to have watched it. It was so incredibly boring

Really plays off on the fear of dolls thing that has been done many times before. Doesn't really offer anything new, but it does combine the right elements to make it better than average. I'm a big sucker for supernatural horror on top of that, so I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Now this is what a horror movie should be like! It made me jump several times... had a suprisingly good ending (hate movies i can guess the ending) Acting was pretty good.. The story was a bit corny but they really made the most out of it. Way better than simular movies like candyman, boogeyman, darkness falls etc etc

So much potential with the excellent doll design and the moments of silence. I especially liked the moment where the lightning flashed but no sound was made at all. However, the plot was horrific and the acting (except for Donnie Wahlberg's incredible scene chewing) was just bland. The twist made me want to punch something because of how retarded it was.

Damn predictable

About 5 minutes of this film doesn't suck

love the poetry
