Dead Silence

Welcome to a sliver of Nathan's sick mind. This movie has so much that I adore: creepy dolls, moats filled with limbless mannequins, ventriloquist dummies with murderous intents and murderous owners. Not to mention that the story is actually scary and fun, and the directing & cinematography are top-notch. Thank you, James Wan, Leigh Whannell, and John R. Leonetti. I thought Ryan Kwanten was a perfect choice to play Jamie Ashen (can't wait to see him in Alan Ball's True Blood, based off Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire book series), and hey -- you can't beat Donnie Wahlberg playing a detective. Finally, I just love the really dark faerie tale element to everything, and for those still haunted by the clown in Poltergeist and want a second, more bloody dose of him, well, this is your movie.
