"Michael Pleckaitis has taken a bold step to> revive the long-lost era of silent films!"
"Silent is a triumph that takes the viewer back to a forgotten era of film!"
Michael Pleckaitis, the maker of the horror comedy "Trees" and its even kookier follow-up 'The Root of all Evil," contacted me today looking for a quote that he could use on the DVD box for his latest film "Silent." Hopefully he will pick one of the quotes I listed above. He also wants to send me some exclusives from the film, so stay tuned for those. "Silent" is a bold project for the director, no man-eating trees this time, so don't expect anything quite as over-the-top as his tree-themed Jaws parodies.
Silent is a far more ambitious film, one he describes as a "Gothic comedy." Done in the vein of a silent movie from the earliest days of cinema, this happy little silent medium suddenly finds itself in total calamity when one female amongst them suddenly develops a voice. The film's talky heroine quickly comes to find her blessing is quite the curse, soon finding herself in all manner of peril because of it, a number of which are supernatural in nature. You'll notice Nosferatu and Dr. Caligari types in the trailer.
