Full Plot Details

Every town has its own ghost story, and a local folktale around Ravens Fair is about a ventriloquist named Mary Shaw. After she went mad in the 1940s, she was accused of kidnapping a young boy who yelled out in one of her performances that she was a fraud. Because of this she was hunted down by townspeople who in the ultimate act of revenge, cut out her tongue and then killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a handmade collection of vaudeville dolls, and assumed they had silenced her forever. However, Ravens Fair has been plagued by mysterious deaths around them after Mary Shaws collection has returned from their graves and have come to seek revenge on people that killed her and their families. Far from the pall of their cursed hometown, newlyweds Jamie and Lisa Ashen thought they had established a fresh start, until Jamie's wife is grotesquely killed in their apartment. Jamie returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery of Lisa's death. Once reunited with his ill father, Edward, and his father's new young bride, Ella, Jamie must dig into the town's bloody past to find out who killed his wife and why. All the while, he is doggedly pursued by a detective who doesn't believe a word he says. As he uncovers the legend of Mary Shaw, he will unlock the story of her curse and the truth behind the threat from a rhyme in his childhood: if you see Mary Shaw and scream, she'll take your tongue. And the last thing you will hear before you die...is your own voice speaking back to you.

Review & Comments

Movie Reviews

Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerSomehow operates under the assumption that a dumb nursery rhyme, a colorless visual palette punctuated by deep reds, and some creaky dolls will frighten anyone over the age of five.
Detroit Free Press - 8/10 by John MonaghanArmed with a decent budget, director James Wan and co-screenwriter Leigh Wannell fashion at least a dozen sequences that are spooky even while they defy logic.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertA gothic chiller in which morbid atmospherics and simmering suspense build to an ingenious third-act climax.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzMediocre and illogical retro horror pic about a malevolent dummy.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeIt's at least a few corpses shy of the cemetery in terms of horror classics, but it's a game try, and parts of the film are very good indeed.
The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) - 7/10 by Mark PalermoDead Silence is boring as often as it is insane. For a movie about a dead old woman who doesn't care that it's rude to stare at people, and relives her bad habit through a ventriloquist dummy that looks like Andy Garcia, that's unacceptable.
EricDSnider.com - 7/10 by Eric D. SniderA straightforward, chilly ghost story like this is rare, and this one is good enough for a few scares and a few laughs.
Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThough it contains few chilling images, mainly involving creepy ventriloquist dummies and scary faces advancing toward the camera, the story is fairly routine.
One Guy's Opinion - 6/10 by Frank SwietekThis Silence is definitely D.O.A.,...a genre movie that's well-produced, but extremely silly and not at all scary.
OhmyNews.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfThe spirit of Edward D. Wood Jr. is alive and well, and currently taking up residence in the movies of James Wan and Leigh Whannell.
