Dead Silence
Why do clowns, dolls, and dummies look so eerie when lit for horror films? It’s “Chucky” meets “Magic” meets “Phantom of the Opera” in this ghost story of a ventriloquist’s revenge, supposedly, based on a children’s nursery rhyme. A young man returns to his hometown to bury his wife and solve the mystery of Mary Shaw and her dolls. The filmmakers of the “Saw” series use all of the classic horror flick elements, but nothing is effective in this awfully dull movie. Dead silence is also pretty much the reaction in the theater to this film. The only piece of near entertainment comes as the surprise twist in the last couple of minutes. But if you scare easily or are creeped out by puppets, you might have a good time.
Alien gives it 1 “Billy #57 in Raven Fair” star out of 4.
Thank you BW & SacTicket
