Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

kclipper Lets face it. There are now thousands of genre films, T.V series and shorts all dealing with the same material in 'Dawn Of The Dead', 'Demons', and '28 Days Later'. Sequel after sequel and so on and so forth. This low budgeter, no matter how much political humanitarian themes that is explores still belongs in that category. An always over-the-top Bill Moseley makes the starring role as a popular radio show host who just happens to be running his show during a post 911 terroristic plot to turn people into rabid, crazed maniacs who run around the city infecting others through scratches, bites...etc. He continues to keep his audience informed as he tries to save his family and eventually comes face to face with the men responsible. Suspense and intrigue is the focus rather than blood and gore, and some good performances dominate, but this is otherwise routine stuff with a climatic ending punctuated with some statements on man's evil toward man. Due to the limited budget, most of the action is contained to indoors and unpopulated streets. It would have been better off as a gore-fest and left at that. When are filmmakers going to realize that this genre has been seriously exhausted? Bill Moseley is a tremendous talent who is continuously wasted on low budget genre clones and bit parts.

Scarecrow-88 A rare treat for horror fans, a chance to see Bill Moseley in a straight role portraying a normal, rational thinking human being who isn't hostile or incredibly inhospitable to innocent people. He stars as a radio personality whose station is located in the center of a city whose citizens have become infected by a bio-weapon released by Muslim terrorists who stole the toxic substance supposedly from Quantico Bay, Virginia. Worried for his wife and child as the outbreak produces insanity, ongoing explosions of violence, and flesh eating, Moseley(..as Logan)remains at his station, communicating what he can to the outside world that may be unaffected by what has transpired. Soon, however, his own crew become infected as the outbreak finds it's way into his building, and Logan(..along with his producer Lucy, portrayed by Patricia Tallman, of Night of the Living Dead fame)must also fend off a Muslim terrorist responsible for spreading the virus(..and who also has an anti-serum for which he keeps to himself, despite having another Muslim comrade in need of it)who has them held at gunpoint, wanting his own message spread across the airwaves. An interesting variation on George Romero's "The Crazies", is confined mostly to the radio station, but occasionally ventures outside where we can see how the infected operate. More or less a zombie film with a message against mankind's continual progression towards destroying itself, whether by chemical or other means. The virus, like a zombie plague, is breathed from the air, taking a slow hold over the human body, eventually turning those infected into raving, bloodthirsty maniacs who attack anyone that is in their trajectory. With David Moscow as Logan's radio partner, Gil(..who courageously braves the outside to ride his motorcycle to Logan's house to see if his family is safe)and Dan Lauria as the man who operates the controls, Fred. Navid Negahban is Abir, the Muslim terrorist who besieges Logan and Lucy, the expository figure who explains to us what the weapon is harming everyone and who was behind it to begin with. Outbursts of violence do occur in the movie, but "Dead Air" isn't as potent or shocking as other zombie flicks of it's ilk. "Dead Air", still, will be of interest to those horror fans who wonder what it would be like to see Moseley as an ordinary man, whose voice is of importance as it relates the horrors occurring on the streets, feeding information to his audience(..and depending on live witness reports from listeners/callers who are experiencing first-hand what is taking place)as he gets it.

dbborroughs Corben Bernsen directed horror film about a chemical weapon being released in a sporting event and turning everyone in to insane monsters. We watch as the staff at a radio station takes reports.Its has moments but mostly it plays like a Lifetime horror movie with breasts and blood. There are some really good ideas here, but they just don't work. Actually the film's ideas are better handled in a film called Pontypool which pretty much works all the way through and builds tension by not showing us anything. This shows us stuff and it just seems cheap. Given the choice I'd watch Pontypool again rather than watch this film again.

Kashmirgrey The idea behind Dead Silence is great: zombie outbreak takes place during an edgy paranoia radio talk show. There was so much going for this film. Unfortunately, as soon as the zombies made their appearance, all was lost.The film is ridiculous and only those with a passion for cheesy, b-flick horror will enjoy it. The zombies were soooo stupid! They ran around flailing their arms. They looked like a bunch of people putting on a haunted house for elementary students.I know this is a brief review, but I just don't see the need to invest much into this. It's a dumb movie. You've been warned.
