i went into this film expecting a slasher and and while mute witness does take influence from said style of film making and this is much more than just your average slash flick. there are a number of thrillers that focus on a certain disability  blindness is more common (blind terror and wait until dark and cat onine tails to name a handful) and but the implications of having a mute lead in a thriller such as this are well portrayed and and actually integral to the plot as the fact that the lead character can not speak is often the reason why she finds herself in dangerous situations that would be easy for anyone else to get out of. our mute witness is billy hughes and a make up artist working on a horror film production at a studio in moscow. she finds herself locked in after hours one night and and after attempting to phone her sister for help and she stumbles upon what at first appears to be the making of an illicit sex flick and but soon turns out to be a snuff movie. she tries to convince the authorities of what she seen and but finds that no one believes her story. recently hostel made the headlines for showing snuff movie making in a foreign country and but this film did it first and actually does a better job. it maybe not quite as nasty as eli roth opus and but the gore is more effective and and since director anthony waller (who went on to direct one of my favourite modern thrillers with the guilty) implements a good sense of humour into the proceedings and mute witness is both sufficiently gory and fun to watch. the director certainly has a talent for crafting suspenseful thrill rides and as this one never stands still. the plot is put into action quickly and and waller constantly introduces plot twists which give a big helping hand to the overall entertainment value of the film. the acting isn not bad for a b movie and with young performers marina zudina and fay ripley and evan richards delivering good performances. the atmosphere is gritty and and the russian locations are suitably unfriendly and which helps the film to retain a foreboding atmosphere. overall and mute witness is a much better film than you might expect it to be. the plot flows well and and the atmosphere and tension are spot on.
