THE MOVIE

From the writer and director of the international phenomenon Saw comes an experience on the razor's edge of fear, Dead Silence.



There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad.  Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who cut out her tongue and killed her.  They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls.



Since that time, Ravens Fair has been plagued by death.  The ghastly dolls from Mary Shaw's collection have gone missing from the grave and reappeared over the decades.  In the dead of night - wherever they are glimpsed - families are found gruesomely murdered
with their tongues torn out.



Far from the pall of their hometown, newlyweds Jamie (Ryan Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen thought they had established a fresh start.  But when his wife is grotesquely killed, Jamie reluctantly returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery of her death.  



Once reunited with his ill father (Bob Gunton) and his father's new young bride (Amber Valletta), Jamie must dig into the town's bloody past to find out who killed his wife and why.  As he uncovers the legend of Mary Shaw, Jamie unlocks the story of her curse and the truth behind the song from his childhood: if you see her and scream, you will never speak again.

THE WINNERS

The unnerving stare of Mary Shaw was apparently no deterrent judging by the ghastly 870 entries submitted to this most gruesome of events. But like any good horror movie the numbers start high and then one by one are whittled down in the most brutal of fashions.



So without further ado, coming out alive and on top is this innovative work from...

1^st PLACE - *mustafahaydar

The stunning simplicity and high contrast of this image made all the judges present close their mouths and fear for the safety of their very lives!

For his efforts, *mustafahaydar has won the grand prize of the following;



Grand Prize

An Official Movie Hat

The Official Movie Soundtrack

A 20x30 print of their poster design

A One year deviantART Subscription

2^nd PLACE - *brainson

Staggering out next, bleeding and tired but not dead yet is *brainson with his foreboding and foreshadowing approach, using the clouds themselves to evoke a more subtle fear.







For his efforts he shall receive

An Official Movie T-shirt, A print of their work under 20x30, A 6 month deviantART Subscription

3^rd PLACE - *saviourmachine

And finally, lunging out of the way of the killer at the last moment, more dead than alive, is *saviourmachine with  the classic approach of showing off the stone cold visage of one of the villains of the piece.



For surviving this ordeal he shall receive an official movie poster and a 3 month subscription to DA!













We would like to say thank you to all those who entered and we apologize to those who did not make it out intact. But alas the show is over, the lights are on, and the curtain has drawn.
