Dead Silence

The "killer doll" genre gets a jolt from the "Saw" team in this shock-filled and nostalgic creeper. After a ventriloquist's dummy is anonymously mailed to his home, Jamie (Ryan Kwanten) makes the mistake of leaving the spooky antique alone with his wife. When she is killed, Jamie brings a detective (Donnie Wahlberg) back to his abandoned hometown to learn the devilish truth behind the haunted plaything's past. Amber Valletta, Bob Gunton co-star. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English. Two-disc set.
