Jamie returns to his hometown in search of answers to his wife's murder, which occurred after receiving a weird package containing a ventriloquist dummy named Billy, which may be linked to the legend of ventriloquist Mary Shaw. Destined to find out the truth, Jamie goes to the town of Raven's Fair, where Shaw used to perform and is buried. But Jamie is in for more than he expected.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Not only did James Wan take the haunted doll genre to a new level, he created an utterly suspenseful, interesting murder mystery. Exceptionally well done.

Being a fan Leigh Whannell I didn't doubt I would likely enjoy this movie. I cannot be anything more than true to myself and say I though it was brilliant.For me a horror movie isn't a realistic dramatic masterpiece, it must have some kind of imagination and creation to its story. I think dead silence did very well in that respect. The story, although it follows the typical horror movie path, does veer off into something a little more fresh. Going in deeper than normal into certain characters back story is a great addition.This movie has some really great old skool scares. So if you like the jumpy horror movies like I do then give it a try.

This not scary. It is not a 6.2. It is a 1. Stop hyping it. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. Do not see this movie. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this an awful movie. If you want to get scared see Child's play. Do not see this movie. It is pooh pooh that stink more then most pooh pooh. If you see this movie you will not get scared. If you want to get scared see Child's play 2. Do not see this pooh pooh from the black pooh pooh. That is what they could called it pooh pooh for the black pooh pooh. This movie stinks like pooh pooh. Child's play 3 is scary. This is pooh pooh.

Actually, I expected movie like this before I watched it. The only reason I started watching it was talk about big twist ending I read somewhere. I don't know why they make movies like this anymore. Full of clichés, I don't know have they skip any of them - ghosts jumping around on every step, scary dolls, dumb police officer, pale crazy old people with secrets from past... Main actor acting is very poor. I had no sympathy for him, what so ever. Everything is already seen in every other horror movie of past two decades. Usually in every movie I find at least one good side, but in this movie there isn't such a thing. Shallow fun for people (as I read in some comments, because for me it isn't even fun, I kept watching on clock to wait the ending).
