“Dark Silence” (*1/2 out of four) was a dark bore about a mentally unhinged adult (Parker Riggs) who returns home after 20 years in a mental asylum when he finds his family home has become a gathering for young kids on Halloween which he finds disfavor with. Horror fans will find disfavor with this by-the-numbers and dreary story. Umpteenth rip-off of “Poltergeist” and “The Shining” makes you wonder whether horror filmmakers ever intend on making original movies ever again. Some stylish touches from director Damon Catic can’t elevate this from being dead in the water.
