What is the movie "Dead Silence" about?

In short, it tells a story of revenge.

Legend has it that in the1940s, a tragedy happened in a small American village called Ravensfair. A child was killed, and the villagers thought it was Mary Shaw, a local woman who made a living by performing ventriloquism with puppets. Angry villagers arrested Mary, cut off her tongue and threw her and her puppet into the fire.

From then on, the lost puppets will appear in the village from time to time. Every time it appears, people will die and their tongues will be cut off. So the village left such a nursery rhyme: Be careful from Mary? Shaw's gaze; She has no children, only dolls; If you see her, don't scream; Otherwise, she'll rip your mouth off and rip your tongue off.

Decades later, Jamie, who was far away from Ravensfair, found his new wife Lisa strangely dead in her apartment. When he returned to the village to deal with his wife's funeral, he suddenly remembered the story of puppet killing he heard when he was a child. Jamie decided to solve this mystery, and the dusty history of terror was uncovered again. With the deepening of the investigation, Jimmy discovered another truth behind this nursery rhyme.

Background of extended data creation

The story "Deadly Silence" belongs to James and Li Faming. Although they are all young, they are all popular because of a saw.

James and Lee stayed in the small house, thinking about how to frame the horror story into flesh and blood. They just want to scare themselves first, so they put what they think is the scariest scene into the script. For example, James woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found someone staring at the corner, which was used in this script.

They decided to make this new film return to the style of traditional horror movies, similar to their favorite Italian horror movies. They don't scare people by bloody scenes, but by creating a story atmosphere. The target duo quickly wrote the script and delivered it.
