If your teens are already watching and loving horror movies, Dead Silence is probably OK for them. The big question is whether horror-hardened youth will forgive a fairly predictable "trick" ending. Not to mention a ghost who's an obvious takeoff on the more interesting dream-haunting demon Freddy Krueger. Some of the scary stuff is just fleeting glimpses of Mary's ghost, reflected in a mirror or in deep shadow. Dead Silence actually gets less frightening when the filmmakers apply the fancy CGI special-effects or reveal Mary Shaw in full. It's far more ominous just to show the dummy's staring eyes or grinning face suddenly turned in a different position than the last shot.
At the same time, there's something charming about the way Dead Silence utilizes every old-fashioned trick in the horror movie book to try and scare the bejesus out of viewers, be it devilish dolls, spooky nursery rhymes, gleefully gory death scenes, or the classic last-minute reveal that Wan would reuse to much greater effect three years after during Insidious. While the film's jump scares and craftsmanship aren't as refined as those in the director's later efforts, they're a far cry better at generating tension and a sense of atmosphere than a lot of other similar Hammer Horror-style throwbacks from the last ten to fifteen years.
