My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Dead Silence (2005)

James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the makers of Saw give us a treat about a young man who investigates the death of his wife, killed by a revengeful ventriloquist ghost and her creepy shifty-eyed dummy. If not for a weak hero in actor Ryan Kwanten this one would be a new classic. But I can’t get too hung up over Ryan’s average performance or the fact that Wan uses some spooky but slightly unbelievable set pieces because this is basically an enjoyable horror film worth the watch. Grade: B+
