Universal Pictures has announced the release date for the supernatural thriller Dead Silence as March 23, 2007. 

The film, directed by James Wan (Saw), tells the story of newlyweds Jamie and Lisa Ashen, who have established a new life for themselves far from their hometown of Ravens Fair. When his wife is gruesomely murdered, Jamie reluctantly returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, where he reunites with his ill father and his father's new young bride. Jamie begins to explore the creepy town and encounters the legend of Mary Shaw, a famous murdered ventriloquist whose presence still casts a pall over Ravens Fair.

The film stars Ryan Kwanten, Amber Valletta, Donnie Wahlberg and Bob Gunton.


KJ's Take:  The premise is standard fare, and if the script is decent, the film could be good.  Somehow however, I doubt that will be the case.
