Dead Silence Review | How Did James Wan Make This?

Dead Silence is James Wan’s creepy ventriloquist horror from 2007, and critics never agreed on it. We rewatched it to settle the debate: cult classic or simply rubbish?

We’re breaking down the Billy puppet, the Mary Shaw legend, and that famously divisive twist ending. We’re also looking at how it fits into the Wan filmography, between Saw and Insidious.

Spoiler-light at first, with a clear warning before we get into the ending. Drop your verdict in the comments and tell us which side you’re on.
