A widower returns to his hometown to unearth clues about his recently departed wife's untimely death, which may be linked to the ghost of a murdered ventriloquist.
Even without the mechanized death that made the Saw movies such a sensation, it doesn't take long to realize that director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell are merely trying to replace one twisty, gimmicky franchise with another.

Plodding and bereft of suspense, "Dead Silence" is an irredeemable jumble of cliché genre fragments.
Armed with a decent budget, director James Wan and co-screenwriter Leigh Wannell fashion at least a dozen sequences that are spooky even while they defy logic.
Wan and Whannell have a carnivalesque sense of fun and a sure instinct for recycling classic horror tropes, but their characters are so flat and their plotting so listless that this low-budget feature fails to generate much suspense.
