'Dead Silence' is the new film from James Wan, the director behind the original 'Saw' film. 'Saw' was Wan's first film and everyones wondering how the 'difficult second album' will turn out. Will he become a great Horror director or was 'Saw' a 'Blair Witch' style one-hit-wonder. The trailer for 'Dead Silence' arrived over the weekend and Bloody-disgusting just got the drop on the poster (pictured, click to see a bigger version).

Newlyweds Jamie (Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen have established a new life for themselves far from their hometown of Ravens Fair–a sleepy, near-forgotten blip on the map haunted by late-night whispers and ghost stories from generations past. But when his wife is gruesomely murdered, Jamie reluctantly returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery surrounding her death.

Once back under his family's roof, reunited with his ill father (Gunton) and his father's new young bride (Valletta), 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. Himself the lead suspect in his wife's murder, Jamie is forced to dig deep into the town's bloody past for answers, where he soon uncovers the truth behind the curse that ended Lisa's life…and threatens to take his as well.

The trailer looks.. not great. I liked Saw, but it might just have been because it made gore cool again, and for that I'm thankful. Maybe I'm just tired of scary dolls…
