Dead Silence is the 2007 cult horror hit from rising genre stars James Wan and Leigh Whannell (the Saw franchise). The film begins late one night as Jamie (Ryan Kwanten, True Blood) and Ella Ashen (Amber Valletta, Hitch, Gamer, Transporter 2) hear a knock on their apartment door and open it to discover a mysterious package which contains a large trunk with a ventriloquist's dummy inside. Jamie goes out to buy some dinner but when he returns he finds Ella has been murdered, although not arrested the cop's think he did it so does a little detective work to try and clear his name. Following the logic that whoever left the dummy has something to do with his wife's death Jamie heads back to his home town of Ravens Fair where the dummy was made and where spooky nursery rhymes about an old lady seem to have some connection to Ella's murder...moreless
