Dead Silence

As ive found it very difficult finding photographers that deal with superstitions ive decided to look at some films i know contain the theme of superstitions, myths and legends. One of the ones i was recomended to was Dead Silence. Dead silence is a horror film based around a ventiliquist doll and how its lead to people from the main characters home town or life dying.  The idea its based on a superstition that a ventriliquist doll is ment to be a bad omen and brings death with it. And this one in particular that caused his wifes death is attached to the legend of Mary Shaw, even with her own lil poem of warning:

'Beware the stare of Mary Shaw,

She has no children, only dolls.

If you see her in your dreams,

Be sure you never, ever scream.

(Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seams.)'

the plots not overly bad, its rather jumpy in places and there is overall a good plot with a twist at the end. However horror isnt really where i want to lend myself with these images...

While its more a story of  ghosts and redeption but itsnt that the way for most of the legend based horror films? 

i think superstion lends itself to the idea of horror purely as they were created to scare people into doing what is conventional or scaring people einto certain idealologys.
