| | Hammer Horror at its best | Sadie 07/28/2007 | | Dead Silence Is a horror thrill ride unlike anyother...It proves once a gain that you can make a scary movie without unlimited gore, granted there is a little. It sets an atmosphere parelleled by none. Its a genuinly scary movie with a strong cast. Wan and Whenell out did themselves with this genre changeing follow up film worthy of being connected to the saw franchise..although it takes a totally diffrent atmosphere. Its about a young man named Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) on a search to find out the truth behind a childhood poem adout Mary Shaw (Judith Roberts) when he believes it is connected to the death of his wife Lisa Ashen (laura Regan) he returns to his childhood home Of Ravensfair...a town plauged with painful memories and and a dark secret.

| | a movie that truly shows not just true heroes but, true sacr | angel 04/19/2007 | this movie not only shows true heroes but, true sacrifice. Matthew broderick's role as colonial robert shaw was wonderful. I think he fit the part very well. You can understand what he's feeling. Despite a lot of the sergents/majors that don't treat the black troops the respect they should get, robert continues to work with them & become the best troops they can be. Denzel washington's part was good as well as morgan fredom, and some on cary elwes part as robert's friend. I clearly give this 10 points. The music is always wonderful & goes well with the movie. I felt heartfelt
& touched by the flim & I hope you will enjoy it too. Thank you. And as robert said "may god bless us all. |
