Silence

Silence is a very good thriller. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by all aspects of this film. It looks great and benefits from many strong actors. I would recommend this to all my friends.

This film has a great cast. Good performances by Kristy Swanson (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Vincent Spano, Tony Todd, and Bruce Boxleitner; one of my favorite TV actors, from Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Even the little girl, DeVeigh Chase, is very believable. Pretty good suspense. Check this one out.

There are some films where you know they are rubbish within 10 minutes. There are some where you know they are awful within 3 minutes. This one was absolutely astounding : you knew it was going to be awful during the opening sequence !! Put simply, this was a stunningly bad film. I tried to watch it till the end to see if it would make it THE worst film I've ever watched. I couldn't even watch it till the end.

I am even struggling writing the mandatory 10 lines to describe this film. I repeat - stunningly awful. Bad script, appalling acting, no suspense, obvious plots, non-existent direction, this is truly a made-for-trash movie. Stunning stuff.

Completely boring seemingly made-for-TV movie showcasing the untalented Kristy Swanson. I only watched this because my father, who states there're no good movies out there left to see, picked this up at a video store, and said it was really great. I should have known better: he also states that his favorite movie is "Best Seller" with Brian Dennehy, another borefest! Swanson and Vincent Spano did fine enough acting jobs, but there is just not a great story here. This movie can be shown on the Lifetime channel, and people WILL watch it. You, however, my dear viewer, actively visit IMDb.com, perhaps the greatest collection of movie information available. Stay away from this one, because you have only so much time in your life.

Dead Silence is a good film with good actors and acting! The two good performances to talk about are by Vladimir Kulich and Bruce Boxleitner! Vladimir was really the ultimate villain in this film. I think he could be awesome as other types of bad guys in movies if he is given the chance. Boxleitner also put on a good performance. Kristy Swanson and Vincent Spano were good and one of the kings of horror Tony Todd also was good and actually the acting by the girl was pretty good. The film is handled in a different way. I thought It was unusual and different that this film was filmed in Kansas City, Missouri. Overall I think Dead Silent is fair film and if you are a fan that likes the actors that I mentioned above and want to see them is different film then I recommend that you watch this movie!

I coulda sworn this was a cheapo filmed in Canada, but maybe not - another reviewer laid it in KCMO. Boxleitner was the only talented actor. Second takes were not allowed, no matter how bad the acting. The lame plot was trivial and predicable. They did not even bother to tell us what was on the disc that everyone died for.
