Saw X, soon-to-be included as another entry to the Saw series, is coming to theaters in 2023, which gives fans of the franchise an opportunity to rewatch all the terrifying torture trap-based movies in preparation for Jigsaw’s return. While there are plenty of movies in the series — seven mainline films, the prequel story aptly named Jigsaw and the spinoff Spiral that stars a copycat killer — to get fans ready for this latest installment, there is also another horror film that is deserving of a little more attention this Saw season — 2007’s Dead Silence.The film is directed by James Wan, a well-known director and producer who does his best work in the most gruesome genre and is mostly recognized for his directing of hit horror films like Insidious and The Conjuring. However, this Australian filmmaker also has a history with the Saw movies. In fact, his involvement in the franchise actually aided in the creation of this lesser-known but highly underrated horror movie. Dead Silence received mostly negative reviews from both critics and audiences, and while it has since gained a little bit of a cult following, it is still largely a forgotten flick compared to other horror movies of the 2000s. Dead Silence is a supernatural horror that uses puppets as part of its narrative, and since creepy dolls have once again re-emerged into the world of horror, most notably with the debut of M3GAN (produced by Wan) and Jigsaw’s return to Saw X, the movie and its puppets deserve a chance to show why it deserves to have some spotlight.Dead Silence follows Jamie Ashen, a young man whose wife Lisa is tragically killed one night following the mysterious delivery of a ventriloquist dummy to their apartment. After her death, Jamie and the puppet return to Ravens Fair, his and Lisa’s hometown that harbors a local legend about a vile ventriloquist, Mary Shaw. Upon his arrival and after meeting up with his estranged, wheelchair-bound father and his new wife, Jamie soon realizes that the puppet named Billy dropped off on his doorstep was not a coincidence. Along with the help of the shaving-obsessed Detective Lipton, Jamie sets out to stop the spirit of Mary Shaw by destroying all 100 of her doll children — all he has to do is “be sure to never, ever scream.”RELATED: The Final Girls Is an Underrated Meta MasterpieceRELATED: Saw X Director Addresses the Future of the Horror Franchise
