Somehow, though, Dead Silence slipped completely under my radar which is sad as when I finally did see it, I was upset with myself for not seeing it sooner.

It would’ve been easy for Wan and Whannell to produce a Saw clone after the success of the first movie and while the theme of creepy dolls is carried on in Dead Silence, don’t watch it excepting another Saw sequel. It’s very unique in that it doesn’t rely as much on the gore (although there are some especially gory scenes) but focuses more on creating genuinely scary villains and a creepy atmosphere.

Quick Review: Dead Silence succeeds on nearly every level. Definitely a must see slasher film.
