So I've been renting lots of films lately, hanging at home with my dog. Most were just abyssmaly bad. For instance:
Darkness Falls. What a shitshow. Totally cheesed out ending, and dodgy "suspense" to get to it.
The Marsh? Pu-leeez. Inane resolution to the too- convoluted plot lines.
The Return? I wanted to return IT, for a refund on my wasted time. Fucker dragged on and on!
But there was one that I really liked.Got me so creeped out I was jumping at my own reflection, in my own house!!! I even checked under my bed before turning in for the night! Yay, cuz I loved to be that flipped out. It's just rare to be so moved, in the excess of crappily made genre films. So what was this shining opposite? Dead Silent.
Not a perfect film, but there was so much more of a classic, old-school feel to it. Great sets, lighting and I loved-loved-loved the make-up effects. (Plus I have a low creep-out factor for dummies, dolls and puppets, and there were several of them.) The character make-up on the main baddie was so good, I was watching it frame by frame just to see her! Anyway, just wanted to share that with yaz. Peace, love and stir-fried toddlers to ya!
