The Silence Movie Review
Blind, flesh-eating flying creatures escape from a cave and begin to terrorize Pennsylvania and the areas around it. The only way to avoid being killed by the monsters is to stay quiet--they are blind and can only stalk by hearing sounds. I know what you are thinking--this Netflix original is a direct ripoff of the 2018 box-office smash A Quiet Place. One can easily see the similarities, and I myself even commented as such as we were watching this one, but surprise! This movie is based on a book that was published in August 2015, and it actually began shooting before A Quiet Place was even released, so to say this is a poor imitation of that film is a bit misguided.

We see chaos unleashed fairly early in this film, catching our attention right off the bat, but the scares turn out to be few. The creatures, called "vesps", are impressive enough, or maybe I watched Birdemic too recently and am comparing them to the birds from that film. After a decent start, the movie kind of plods along until the family arrives at a house. Once there, our heroes come across a group of weirdos wanting to kidnap Ally, adding some tension to the film, but the resolution to that is quick and uninspired, leading to an ending that screams cliche. The occasional vesp attack and the acting chops of both Tucci and Shipka will keep you going, but don't expect too much out of this 2019 horror flick.
