Well, here is a film that dares to tread on dark territory. A trailer for The Quiet is now available at Yahoo movies and by the looks of it, the story will most likely mess with your head. The casts include Elisha Cuthbert, Camilla Belle, Edie Falco, Martin Donovan and Shawn Ashmore. A brief synopsis taken from Yahoo subsite of The Quiet is as followed:
Cheerleader Nina Deer's seemingly idyllic life of is thrown into turmoil when Dot, a deaf teenager, is adopted into her suburban family. After first being ostracized as a "freak," Dot soon becomes extremely popular as those around her find her to be someone they can conveniently and safely confess their darkest secrets to. Struggling with a very disturbing secret of her own, Nina eventually strikes an unlikely bond with Dot herself.
Sony Pictures Classics plans to open the film in limited release in New York and LA on August 25th, 2006.
