Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

fergal-mon I stumbled across this show whilst searching for something like the excellent Homicide Hunter, produced by the same network, what a pleasant surprise.The storytelling is on point, with what has to be said, superb acting all round. There is a real sense of continuity with the interspersed reenactments and storytelling, along with the on-point camera-work and production. There some great shots and moving angles around the actors and the costumes and soundtrack/effects, everything just seems very fitting - not just with the theme of the show - but with the time-frames that the episodes are set.It is refreshing to see something so well-made and clearly everyone involved with this has a great talent. This show deserves a lot more recognition and indeed a Season 2!

AudioFileZ Here is another true crime show and I know what you think: why is this one any different? Dead Silent does feel immediately different as it goes back in time to study some really nasty crimes you probably have never heard of. Like a serial killer on The Appalachian Trail whose crimes were separated by 27-years with a prison stint in between. A retired professor who is definitely unusual being singled out for his remote lavish home seeming to make an easy mark for a robbery. Or a remote Idaho murder by a man who was as likely possessed as he was imbalanced. Both time and being uniquely regional may have made these stories known but to a few. These are the murders the initial episodes of "Dead Silent" revisit. They're all equally creepy as well as morally bankrupt, and, sadly, interesting. They bring into focus the evil that walks calmly among us often with clues, yet never really portending the torrent of evil that may unleash itself.I like the vibe of this show. It involves the real cast on both side of these terrible murders in well made re-enactments. It doesn't pander to jump scares, but intelligently tells the gist of each case in fairly graphic recreations of the crazed mayhem. It attempts to cast light on both the localities as well as strange occurrences without bombast. I'd have to say it succeeds. It's much like watching a very real horror film as the darkness unfolds.It's a tragedy that in our country there is so many unknown crimes of this magnitude, however this show will certainly raise consciousness of how we may be just a hair away from evil that challenges our comprehension. If the producers keep this high level in both content and presentation this show will rise up and distinguish itself in the genre.
