Dead silence [videorecording] / Universal Pictures presents a Burg/Koules/Hoffman production ; produced by Gregg Hoffman, Oren Koules, Mark Burg ; story by James Wan & Leigh Whannell ; screenplay by Leigh Whannell ; directed by James Wan.
After receiving a strange package with the doll named Billy, Jamie's wife is murdered. Destined to find out the truth, Jamie goes to the town of Raven's Fair where the ventriloquist Mary Shaw used to perform and is buried. After she went mad in the 1940s, Mary was accused of kidnapping a young boy who yelled out in one of her performances that she was a fraud. Because of this she was hunted down by townspeople, who in the ultimate act of revenge, cut out her tongue and then killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a handmade collection of vaudeville dolls, and assumed they had silenced her forever.
