Still bad after the umpteenth time. Another copy of Scream that rips-off pretty much all its motifs: the masked killer and his identity, the telephone calls, the final twist, etc. The main problem is that everything is executed very blandly, and even though the last half has a corpse every five minutes, you get bored and look at your watch, wishing it will end soon. The characters and their behaviour are chapter on their own. The actors are OK for the standards of teenage-slashers, the problem is that they are not likeable and the things the script makes them do are hard to fathom (e.g. the girl who voluntarily gives the address of the place she’s at to the mysterious voice on the phone, even though a moment before she witnessed how that mysterious voice on the phone brutally murdered someone). And I’d rather not speak about the unintentionally funny detectives, who unfortunately show up several times. It’s a film that you could watch with a large group and comment the events on screen – that could be fun. PS: The opening scene is better than the entire hour and a half that follows it.

Dead Tone is simply a classically bad slasher film, of which there are far too many made, and you don't even know anymore why they keep making them. Alright, there could have been a reason here, because the idea isn't the worst, but it remained just an idea, brutally underutilized, failing to create even a single scary or suspenseful scene. If at least there was a bit more focus on the killings and if it was developed further, perhaps it would have been more bearable.
