Don't bother with the top ten

#"Dead Silence"??

I think this movie is overrated. When I was searching the list of horror movies before, I saw the recommended picture of this movie. The main reason I was attracted at that time was the element of "Nursery Rhyme" and a gimmick similar to "Top 10 European and American horror movies". The whole film After about an hour and a half, the "Nursery Rhymes" is actually not prominent in it. His main theme is "Puppet Dolls", which is inherently weird and mysterious. The first half is completely attracted, I think the whole atmosphere in front of me And all kinds of fright points are perfect, it feels like the director of this movie is 100% confident that he can frighten the audience when he creates those frightening places in front.

But why did it suddenly feel like a sci-fi film, a hot-blooded youth adventure film and a chase film? Jamie is also very mediocre, especially when he realizes the truth and sees his stepmother later, I can't feel his shock and fear at all except for the scream that he finally couldn't hold back.

The truth in the last few minutes can be said to be the biggest reversal of this movie, but this reversal is also very general. The reversal of "Dead Silence" is unexpected but not wonderful, and this stepmother has no feeling of dread at all in the end, Probably the biggest reason is that the second half is so different from the first half that the last reversal is not enough.
