Rating: C- -- Plodding and bereft of suspense, "Dead Silence" is an irredeemable jumble of cliché genre fragments. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- The sensual pleasure in watching this kind of horror movie depends entirely on your tolerance for ear-splitting jolts of shock. In the end, though, the film sags like a David Lynch pudding. Full Review

there's something about its overblown stormy-night atmospherics and reliably dismal dialogue that's bad in almost a fun way. I'd rather laugh through this kind of harmless, rickety schlock, any day, than grimace through Saw III. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- All dolls are inherently freaky, but there's something seriously bent about a little wooden man with bulging eyes, shiny cheeks, and perfect chompers. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- It's woefully flat and not nearly as scary as it thinks it is. It almost makes one yearn for Saw. But not quite.

Wan and Whannell have a carnivalesque sense of fun and a sure instinct for recycling classic horror tropes, but their characters are so flat and their plotting so listless that this low-budget feature fails to generate much suspense. Full Review

If you're in the mood for a Saturday afternoon-ish throwback thriller, you could certainly do a hell of a lot worse than this one. Full Review
