Oooohhhh, Full Moon productions are a real treat. They make me want to bash my skull in while laughing histerically at the same time. Then I want salami for some reason.

Burning in Hell

02-08-2007, 07:42 AM

Its from the creators of the first Saw, so I'm rather curious about it! The cinematography looks great, plus the trailer had the feeling of an 80's horror movie, which is always a plus!

Don't know if this has already been posted or not (probably has) but is anyone looking forward to this movie. It is by the writers and the director of SAW.

Just saw the preview for this one. I am definately looking forward to having the crap scared out of me. I have such a fear of clowns and dolls and this has a clown doll. Can't wait!

Looks ok, it would be better if they didn't have the old woman's ghost...

I could have sworn that would have been a Full Moon production! That movie looks horrible, but damn hilarious! I think I'll wait til it's on DVD, then invite a bunch of people over to make fun of it with me!:D

03-04-2007, 04:22 PM

I am looking forward to this. One of the movies that scared the piss out of me when I was younger was Dolls. This movie looks like a sleek, better written, better acted, better done version. I have high hopes that a new horror film can finally scare me.

puppet master anyone but i my go see it i dont no

mordrid

03-04-2007, 04:43 PM

Puppet Masters from the looks of Dead Silence is very different in both plot and back story. Dolls is a closer comparision to Dead Silence.

03-04-2007, 04:44 PM

most likely but i dont think i have seen dolls

Shady

03-17-2007, 02:21 PM

If anyone has seen this yet how was it? I'm still deciding whether I should see it or not. The only reason I want to see it is because James Wan directed and wrote it.

Uh, it stars that former New Kid on the Block.....I think I will wait for the rental.

I think it looks awesome, but I'll wait for the DVD to come out, to see it.

It looks like fun to me, so I think I'm gonna go see it.

I don't think Donnie Wahlberg is that bad of an actor. Don't forget he played in a few good horror movies such as Saw 2, Saw 3 and even in The Sixth Sense.

missmacabre

03-19-2007, 07:18 AM

I'm probably going to opt out of this one. I do, however, go see horror movies just to be scared so this one might do the trick (what with the clown puppet and all). If anyone sees it then let me know if it's okay or just horrible (which I suspect).

mordrid

03-19-2007, 07:26 AM

Probably going to see it this weekend. I think it has an interesting premise and hopes it does the idea justice.

I don't do tongues, so I'm going to skip this one.

Why?

Something happen as a child?

I'm intrigued. Is that the one thing that freaks you out or something? I'll admit it's a nasty thought to have your tongue ripped out. I was a little unnerved by the tongue removal scene in the old Hammer Films version of The Mummy.

Mark of the Devil had a great tongue scene.

I'm deffinitely going to go and see this movie on the big screen. Normally I dont go see horror movies on the big screen as I feel that horror movies are better watched at home in a dark room with your bed covers and a nice comfy couch. They feel a whole lot scarier when its in the safety of your own house.

Nothing scary happens in theatres lol

I just downloaded it, I'll watch it some time tomorrow and tell you how it was.

03-19-2007, 04:54 PM

Well cool thanks Shady, I'll probably be seeing in about a week. Normally I dont listen to what other people think of movies becuase I have my own taste and it's kind of very different to other people...I mean come on I love SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

You and me both. I love Scream as well as I Know What You Did Last Summer. Shit...I even liked I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Although Im gonna have to end at Ill Always Know What You Did Last Summer. That movie sucked so much wang its ridiculous.

P.S.- Ive heard nothing but GREAT reviews about Dead Silence. I have yet to hear 1 bad review. Im poppin it on right now and Ill be back with my review in 1-2 hours.

LadyFrost

03-19-2007, 05:06 PM

Excellent!!! And i know what you mean about "I Always Know..." that movie bit the big one! It was so aweful even for the genre it was forced into. I hated it!!!

LOL maybe if you liked Dead Silence you should send it to me!! That way I dont have to watch it on the big screen and I dont have to wait for it to come out lol

It wasn't to bad. I expected more but it was a decent thriller definately worth a watch. I wrote a review on it. Search for it and Im sure you will find it.

To me dead silence is a boring horror movie, if u want to call it that.no action at all on it. dont see itunless u want to get bored:mad:

I wouldn't say it was boring but it wasen't very good either.

Above average imagery. Some good jumpy moments, nothing to write home about.

06-18-2008, 12:50 PM

I didn't think it was boring, but it could have used more action, blood, and better characters, better writing could have helped too. I guessl it was ok. Happy Slashing All !!

I'm waiting for this to hit the $6.99 bin and I'll probably give it spin. Not high on my list of flicks to grab but I dig most things horror I'll check it out.

Agreed. Excellent atmosphere. The theater on an island in the middle of a lake is such a gothic image it's almost iconic

I thought it was ok, but not the best film i've seen. I was suprised to see Ryan Kwanteen in it. He used to be on a soap over here called Home and Away. It seems he is going the way of Melissa George, who was also on Home and Away at some point.

New here, i used to the search and saw that the last thread with dead silence was over a year ago, so i figured it'd be ok to start a new one.

How does everyone feel towards dead silence? It seems to me from the reviews and comments ive seen online is that people either love it or hate it. Im with the former. Im a huge fan of anything related to horror. Mainly italian and classic slasher flicks, but i don't care at all for the torture porn and j-horror films that flood theaters these days. Dead Silence though is the only movie (besides IT) to truly scare the crap outta me. Sure i was scared alot as a child but im 24 now and i rarely get that feeling anymore. That's why dead silence holds a special place in my dvd collection cause everytime i watch it and i see the cellar scene i get goosebumps and a feeling of panic, It's awesome, ha. I feel like the film gets a bad rep because it's so different from SAW and people always label it as a movie with killer dolls. This is not puppetmaster. Mary Shaw is easily the creepiest villain of recent memory. To me, shes absolutely terrifying. Also, it has an excellent soundtrack and i love the color palette in the film, lots of blues and it has a grainy look. Really great, i wish it would come out on bluray.

Hopefully some people reply cause i'm really curious as to why some people hate this movie, i realize the story isn't groundbreaking, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Everyone i've shown this movie to has come out saying how much it scared the crap outta them.

I liked it. It wasnt ground breaking or anything. I thought it had a creepy overall feel to it which I liked.

I thought it was heads and tails above any of the Saw movies.

Doc Faustus

10-03-2009, 06:24 AM

I it was kind of shallow eyecandy and that it wasn't as fun or as smart as it could have been. But, you can't deny the potency of the imagery, and since it's a movie and all, you look at it. On a certain level, a movie succeeds if what you look at is cool shit. On that level Dead Silence works. On any other level it's kind of C+ at best. I root for Bousmann, but he needs to up his game intellectually and spiritually.

I Like Dead Silence.I think it had a lot of holes in it though.Unanswered questions and inaccurate scenes like when Jamie went back to the scene where his wife was murdered.He wouldn't have been allowed and when it Showed Mary Shaw in the mirror after she was killed,there was only a little blood around her neck (and none around her mouth,shockingly),whereas anyone would know there'd have been buckets of it.
Some of it was cheesy and looked a little silly.
The good points are that it had real people,not just loads of silly gorgeous looking teens running around.I thought Judith Roberts was perfect for the role as Mary Shaw.It was actually made for her! Nobody else could have done a better job of playing Mary.The emotion portrayed (By Jamie in particular,although brief) was believable and dating back to 1941 half of Ravensfair did Mary in,which happens a lot in real life when a kid goes missing and there is even the slightest hint or rumour about someone that they think might be involved.I think the drama elements were striking because of that.Also,Mary wasn't an in out,simple villain when she was alive e.g. the scene where she was talking to Michael Ashens corpse and could hear him talking back showed more layers and the murder scene where she was getting her tongue cut out,courtesy of the Ashen men and other blokes in Ravensfair gave us a sense of compassion.

Sorry for rambling on and on a load of crap,everyone.

I quite liked Dead Silence. It's one of those films that if you've seen it once, the non-action-y bits start to drag, but the guy from Saw was good in it and it had a fairly good if gross twist. Dolls are crazy-creepy anywho...

Just watched the movie dead silence. Did anyone notice the doll from saw in it?
It was when they were standing in front of the 100 dolls. And they were walking towards the clown doll. It's sitting on the floor in the fore ground.

Catonia06

07-24-2010, 03:50 PM

I know,I didn't like that;it looked really false because as if in 1941,Mary Shaw would've made a doll that looked like that.It wasn't even a ventriloquist dummy either.It was just a creepy thing that looked like it was a modern day invention:mad:

Catonia06

07-24-2010, 04:44 PM

It's not my worst idea yet.The Retribution is a crime drama based on Dead Silence,casting back to 1941 when Mary Shaw was murdered and also when Michael Ashen went missing (In the film,she killed him because he heckled her at a show).It's based around two detectives piecing the jigsaw together after her body is found,though is exposing in terms that it features detailed accounts from the pathologists office.They find out that Shaw was accused of kidnapping Michael Ashen,but it reflects on how,in the 1940's,they investigated a lynch mob killing with no DNA and everyone in the entire town being a suspect.
It also gives flashbacks of the days between and gives an insight into how the lynch mob was formed and the towns people's reaction to a young boy going missing,and how this affects,not only the family,but an entire neighbourhood and how emotion can drive anybody to kill.

It's not finished yet,but I'll post the link once it's been completed,and tweaked and improved.
