The entire back of the dvd is a lie. No original audio or subtitles and even the run time isn't correct.

From the bum? Yeah, he grunts a lot. I'm enjoying the movie, in spite of a few lull patches.

I need to rewatch that one. I remember very little other than that I liked it well enough.

Okay, the bum's grunting has been getting louder and more grating.

I guess considering how bad I heard it was, it was more of a pleasant surprise, but I still gave it a C- lol

Dead Silence is a solid "Little Killer Thriller" (damn, that has a good ring to it). Probably make my top ten of the genre.

I'd need to refresh myself with Dead Silence. Didn't think it was bad, but it's my least favorite James Wan movie so far. Also, I still dig the "Knee High Bastard" subgenre title :P

This opening is like the lovechild of the original Halloween and Manhunter.

I remember Luna really digging that one. I know this because she scolded me for giving it a "meh" review, lol. She was nice, as always, though! I need to watch it again too. I don't recall it being horrible.

Of Wan's movies he directed, I have only seen Dead Silence, Saw, The Conjuring, and Insidious 1 and 2. I would put Insidious 2, below Dead Silence. I loved the 1st one. Maybe I need to watch them back to back?

Go watch Death Sentence. A new adaption of the original Death Wish book (or was it an adaption of the second book, but acting as a stand alone? can't remember), but with Kevin fuck'n Bacon. Pretty kick ass.

Major problem with not caring about the leads in this movie. If they really acted like this in the real story, god damn.
