AAAAHHHAAAA! DUMMIES! :D
Ok, so I had to sneak into the theatre with my friends to see it, bt it was worth it... I was so scared, I actually had to slep with a NIGHTLIGHT on! LOL. I'll never look at dolls/dummies the same way ever again... Gory and very nightmarish, but it's supposed to be scary, right?

Why does junk like this make into theaters?
Oh, I remember...because producers are greedy and could care less about the damage they do to children. Stay away.

Great Movie
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.

Ahhh, sort of
OK, a couple things id say. One, IT IS Definitley scary, make sure your kids know that it is fake and it could never happen. If you have a mature child and knows that its fake than yes take him or her to see it. But, its definintley scary be sure. Take a second and think.

One of the milder.
Other than a few intense images, it didn't warrant an R rating.

Good classic scary horror film. Definitely not for younger children.
Dead Silence is a really good old school themed horror movie which contains no sex, drugs or strong language, whoever there are quick shots of violence where the vengeful ghost Mary Shaw rips out her victims tongues if they see her and start to scream. The main reasons to know and let your children know before watching this movie is that there are very creepy and disturbing images of people being made into real human ventriloquist dummies, family portaits of parents and their children with their tongues ripped out, and of course, Billy the Dummy. He's the creepy-looking doll which opens his mouth and tells the viewers that Mary Shaw is going to appear. Definitely not a movie for younger children, because of the intense frightening sequnces of the ventriloquist dummies, humans made into dummies, and Mary Shaw herself.

Dull, tiring horror film.
Better than the disastrous "Saw" films, with some suspense, but the problem lies with the fact that Wan is an awful director with a strange syle, and that Whannel can't write a proper script. Neither person knows how to generate suspense, so the film is unable to scare people. Some lines of dialogue are halarious: when Jamie jumps into his car and drives away, the policeman cries "I don't even have a full tank of gas!" The comedy just destroys what little atmosphere that the filmakers tried to create. This film is not unwatchable, yet really far from perfect.

Very good!
Great movie! I never was bored. Stuff happened right from the start. It was a really good movie. But not for kids.

very eerie
This ghost-fest, brought to the viewers by "Saw" creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell, is just that: a creepy, eerie, jump-sceney fright-fest. This movie is listed on my list of top five scariest movie, mainly due to the way is wonderfully plays on my wariness of ventriloquist dummies. Don't let the kids watch: definitely the stuff of nightmares.
