Review title: Here today, forgotten tomorrow
Product review: The premise of the movie is interesting, but that's about all. In the last several years, there have been so many horror films, and very few have been able to distinguish themselves. "Dead Silence" is no different. We have the photography that makes everything in a blue wash, the barely coherent plot (in this case, a grudge that begins because a boy can see a ventriloquist's lips moving. Yes, really.), the chorus of celestial voices, the fast motion action. It's as though the director went down a checklist of cliches. Yes, the movie looks good but it doesn't look original; it's just more of the same horror shtick we've been getting.Fault also lies with the plot: there is a big reveal at the end, as there almost always is, but it would have been much more interesting had it been developed. As it is, the reveal left me wanting more, to finally have the movie make sense, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.Nothing more than a rental.
