Youngsters Jake (Noah Gaynor), Ashley (Sophie Faulkenberry), Nicky
(Matthew Gumley) and Carson (Max Miller) race to make it to the ferry to
make it to an island off coast for Harry's (Matty Cardarople) party - and
then miss the boat. Nicky, loudmouth of the group, is quick to hitch a
ride with Bobby (John Behlmann) though, who's first mate on Stone's (Jeff
Kober) fishing trolley. Jake, he-man of the group, thinks it's a bad idea
from the get-go (and is later proven right of course), but joins the
others nevertheless, partly because he wants to patch up things with
Ashley, his ex. At first, the ride's all mellow, but then Bobby leads
Ashley below deck for a wee, and then invites her, a recovering addict, to
do some drugs and have sex with him and his girlfriend Krista (Gwyneth
Bensen) - which makes Ashley somewhat uncomfortable. But real trouble
starts when the boat stops, and Bobby and Stone turn out to be pirates who
have made it their habit to take rich kids out onto the open waters to rob
them blind. And our heroes learn how serious the situation is when they
kill Carson. Then Stone and Bobby tie the others up and subject them to
various sorts of physical and mental torture, and our youngsters have to
realize it's a game of cat-and-mouse to the death ...
Not totally clichée-free, Dead Sound nevertheless
turns out to be a fun little thriller that makes really good use of its
main location (the boat), and manages to tell a really tense story that
will have you at the edge of your seat most of the time, as it offers a
good mix of suspense, action, evil mindgames and all-out violence. And add
to that likeable but fallible characters played by a competent cast, and
you're in for some good genre entertainment.
