DVD Synopsis

Saw duo James Wan and Leigh Whannell re-team for this chilling tale of a widower (Ryan Kwanten) who returns to his hometown to unearth clues about his recently departed wife's untimely death. In the quiet town of Ravens Fair, children taunt one another with spooky stories about a ventriloquist whose mind was ravaged by insanity. Mary Shaw was a popular entertainer until she was accused of murdering a young boy. Subsequently hunted and captured by the vengeful townspeople, Mary's tongue was cut out before she was mercilessly killed and committed to the earth in the company of her handmade collection of vaudeville dolls. In the years that followed, the town seemed to be haunted by those ghastly puppets. After mysteriously disappearing from Mary's grave, the menacing figurines would sometimes be glimpsed by the damned in the dead of night -- their appearance consistently foreshadowing the death of whoever laid eyes upon them. Entire families were found slaughtered, their tongues brutally torn from their mouths in a sickening scene that eerily recalled the execution of the elderly ventriloquist. Newlyweds Jamie (Ryan Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen (Laura Regan) both grew up in Ravens Fair. Now, following Lisa's inexplicable death, Paul has returned to the pair's hometown in order to say his final goodbyes and find out the truth about his wife's enigmatic demise. After being reunited with his ailing father (Bob Gunton) and the aging man's pretty young bride (Amber Valletta), the grieving widower will finally uncover the shocking truth behind the curse that has plagued Ravens Fair for as far back as he can remember. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Easily one of my FAVORITE horror movies to come out in the past 10 years! its saying a lot, but its true. I think many are swayed the other way with their opinion because, despite it being directed by James Wan who made the gruesome & trend-setting "Saw", its NOTHING like that movie. This movie is all about the atmosphere, the music and the creeps with dolls & evil ghosts...not gruesome kills & buckets of blood. Even the opening takes a note from Universal Studios' Golden Age of horror films of yesteryear. Great atmospheric movie! Don't listen to most "haters"...see it for yourself & formulate your own opinion.

I enjoy horror movies but find most recent ones have lots of gore and very few (if any) scares. This movie was entirely different. It has a creepiness to it that demands a viewing in the dark. The ending is a real twist and unexpected. Well worth the investment of time.

A really creepy movie. I watch horror movies pretty often and don't get rattled that much. But this one was still freaking me out the next day!
