She had no children, only dolls,
And if you see her in your dreams,
Be sure you never, ever scream.
Sounded familiar? Yess, its from the the horror movie, Dead Silence. I managed to watch it yesterday with my fellow friends. Well, its like the usual english horror movie. If you don't get what I meant by that, let me explain it. You see, Korean or Japanese horror movie is always about some girls who got abused or being taken advantage of when they were alive. So after that, they come back and take their revenge. Also, always ended with some stupid ending or NO ending at all! Thats their style. Thai, its more to the girls who got killed or died of accusations. Then they could be really scary when they came back to get their revenge. But the westerners, they're bit different from us Asians, they do movies that involve thinking and its usually not that ghostly scary that make you jump. But scare you mentally. For their ending, you need to use your own creativity to think. Thats more or less it.
It is the ghost story in Ravens Fair about this lady named Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist. She loves the dolls she made like her own children and see them as a real being. One day during her show, a young boy embarassed her by pointing out that her doll isn't a real thing that he saw her lips moving when the doll was talking. After that, the boy went missing. Being accused of the murder of that boy, she was hunted down and killed by the vengeful townspeople who cut her tongue out. Then she was buried along with all her 101 "children". One of em' named Billy, the almost perfect doll of all who later on mysteriously sent to the newlywed couple Jamie and his wife, Lisa. For decades, the town has been plagued by death, dolls from the grave have gone missing and families are found gruesomely murdered with their tongue pulled out and their jaws ripped open, then their bodies organized like family potrait. Jamie, returned home seeing her wife murdered with her tongue torn out and her jaw ripped open has been the first suspect for the case. The doll, Billy leads him back to Ravens Fair to reveal the mystery of her death and to clear his name upon his wife's murder.
- Ryan Kwanten as Jamie. Laura Regan as Jamie's wife Lisa. Also, Bob Gunton as Jamie's father.
As I said, English horror movie is always different. In this, you wouldn't imagine that Jamie's dad was already dead and that the wife is actually the perfect doll. Well, the movie is not bad. You could also see Jigsaw's dolls from Saw. Think everyone should check it out.
