At the beginning, the atmosphere was great, but after that, the tension died down and it began to decline. The flashback scene where the old lady was with the puppet was scary though, which was sweet. And as for The Fog remake, I agree it was inadequate. But Dead Silence wasn't an expensive buy, so I wasn't upset.

Yeah...The stars of that movie were pedestrian actors. The poor acting just made the movie less enjoyable than it already was.

I haven't, but I guess watching it will help me clear the confusion the remake left me with?

The last dvd I got was today. I got Hitman unrated version. I like Timothy Olyphant as an actor, so hopefully this one's good.
