While this is certainly no "Oscar" worthy effort, the other review on this site is much to harsh and also a bit ignorant. Marlee Matlin is indeed deaf, and while people of little intelligence, and even less "humanity" may indeed find her voice "annoying" it is by far less so than the ignorance they reveal with theirs. In fact, it is far less taxing to watch the film than to read the ranting of a fool. I would suggest that the film is not all that bad, and is in some ways enjoyable, however uneven,or stilted the acting. The photography is stunning, It is a mildly interesting story that could have been told better, It is by far better than all the vampire / werewolf trash.
