Doll Parts: Lessons Learned from Dead Silence


* Ryan Kwanten, the star of Dead Silence is soooo pretty ... well, don't take my word for it, feast your eyes on a photo of him pre-Dead Silence: nuff said!

* Never leave your wife alone with a ventriloquist's dummy that has just been delivered to you anonymously.

* I've know this simple fact for years, but Dead Silence one more proves that ventriloquist's dummies are the most fucking evil things in the world!

* Donnie Wahlberg is to B-Films what Parker Posey is to Indie Films.

* Never EVER, tell a ventriloquist, "I can see your mouth moving".

* If your family was party to the murder of a crazy old ventriloquist lady, you are fucked.

* It's always a good idea to remind the viewing audience that the filmmaker was also responsible for a spate of dreadful films by featuring a prop from said dreadful films in your most recent effort.

* Young, pretty, step-mother's are, of course, evil.

* If a ventriloquist dummy is the most fucking evil thing in the world, then a clown dummy is the most fucking evil thing in the universe!

*Your father has not had a stroke, he's just a puppet.

* Take heed the old nursery rhyme of your childhood:"Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams, do not ever, ever scream."

When I saw Dead Silence, I saw in the sort of theater that is frequented by rowdy teens, freshly freed from school and half-drunk on stolen nips from their parents' booze cabinets, who still treat horror as a liberating social ritual, rather than an aesthetic experience. They clapped when Jigsaw's puppet made his cameo. I half expected them to stand up and give the golf clap: "Well played, little puppet, well played."

You took the words right out of my mouth! But you lost 8/10 of a point for using a possessive apostrophe for the plural of dummy.
