Waller's witty, well-crafted yet unpretentious thriller--about American youths who make a movie in Moscow and get involved with the underworld--is a seductive piece of filmmaking that should keep viewers hyperventilating to the last reel.

Reviews for Mute Witness
Once you see it, you'll have an enthusiastic new response when people ask you "Hmm, what's a good horror movie I've never seen?"
A Sam Raimi wannabe that doesn't always strike the right balance of humor to thrills, but comes close
Gets off to a great, scary start, but then turns silly and comical, breaking the film's tone of dread.
