Dead Silence
So this is the second or third time i've seen this but it's still very creepy. The dolls are used very well. They're not shoved down your throat or are shown running all over the place. For a movie where it's the focal point like Child's Play it would be needed but the dolls are secondary to the ghost story that is prominent here which is very interesting. Both of the themes could have done ok on their own but combining them made for a very creative and spooky movie. I loved the folklore feel they gave the movie with the dolls and the womans backstory and the curse she started. I also liked that their were rules for the movie being that the ghost could only get you when you screamed. It was talked about more then it was utilized but it was still good.
The one downside to the movie is Donnie Wahlberg. The whole movie he just seems bored like he really didn't want to be there and it shows in his acting. Given the right role, Donnie can be a very good actor but he just whispers and shrugs his way through this movie. Also his character made no sense, one minute he's telling Ryan Kwanten's character that the dolls has nothing to do with his wife's murder but then he tells him that he was stealing evidence and trying to hide it when he buried the thing. But if it was evidence why didn't the police take it? They don't just let people walk away with vital evidence. Also there was no reason for him to dig up the doll graves except to move the story along.
Aside from Wahlberg this is a very effective interesting ghost story.
