I saw it a couple of years ago... me and my guy friend liked it, though we thought it was HORRIFYINGLY CREEPY we still enjoyed it. We're kinda freaky that way... But honestly... if you don't want your child exposed to that kind of movie than don't buy/rent/borrow a movie from the same people who made the gory slasher films 'Saw'...

That movie was so scarier than I thought it would have been! This one seen where an old man is looking for his wife, because he heres noises in the basement, he goes down into the basement and still heres crying but its not her, so he is on his knees holding a flashlight searching. When he finally gives up the door slammed shut really hard! He started freaking out. When he turnes around he sees Mary's hand all white and stuff and bloody, thats when his panic attack starts. Then the hand disappears. The old man gets scared, oh and by the way its really quiet too, so he turns his head to the left and sees the dead woman who rips peoples tongues out! She is smiling at him and then rips his tongue out really fast but you can still see it and the afterpart.

OH MY GOD this is dang scary.THOSE stupid ass dolls they rip out your tounge.IT scared the heck out of me. THAT night i watched it i could not sleep.

me and my friends watched this at a sleepover but to be honest it isnt the most interesting movei to watch, we all got bored but its after the movie when you start to get scared, well it didnt help my friend was throwing about a doll and my friend was twirling round a mickey mouse baloon whilst pretending to be asleep lol. Just make sure that your children know that its not real and it should be fine to be absaoloutely honest....... just one thing, beware the stair of mary shaw

I really enjoyed this movie, as did my teenage daughter. No swearing, nudity, or sex. The movie is violent, but most of the violence is done by "supernatural" forces and is payback for the vigilante violence that is seen in the beginning of the flick. I thought it was great, very scary, and could have well been rated PG-13.

When I went to see this movie I thought it was going to be good but I slept the whole time in the theatre.Boring. Go watch another movie. Not woth the R rating.

This was a fantastic movie!The vilonce was not bad at all!This deserved a PG-13 Rating i think

Dead Silence is a very eerie and scary film which is themed on the grisly murders of people who have their tongues graphically ripped out by a vengeful spirit known as Mary Shaw. A widower named Jamie recently loses his wife and then goes up to people who might know about the once famed ventriloquist Mary Shaw and learn her dark past. In the early 1900's, Mary and her ventriloquist dummy named Billy used to perform in a theatre with a large audience, which suddenly one boy notices her mouth moving, and he ruins her image. She exacts revenge and turns the boy into a human like doll; this can be very creepy and disturbing. Police find her and they torture her until she starts to scream, and then her tongue is cut off. She is then buried with her doll collection. Then, throughout the movie, you'll see very scary yet grisly pictures of adults and children whom has been murdered, by having their tongues ripped out, and their pupils are like a ghostly white. Then, later in the movie, you'll know that Mary Shaw is getting revenge by turning her human victims into a human ventriloquist dummy, whom in their backs show no organs and bones, only a wooden device that's able to make their limbs and mouths move; this is very creepy and disturbing. I would recommend this movie for teens who are big horror fans, and not for younger, sensitive viewers because the horrific images of dummies and the grisly murders will give them nightmares!
