The Silence
With the world under attack by deadly creatures who hunt by sound, a teen and her family seek refuge outside the city and encounter a mysterious cult.
Why it matters
A tense, if familiar, creature-feature that leans into silence as a survival mechanism against deadly sound-sensitive predators.
- For fans of post-apocalyptic horror who don't mind revisiting the "monster hunts by sound" trope after A Quiet Place and Bird Box.
- Creature design favors eerie, bat-like foes with practical effects touches, though scares land unevenly.
- The mysterious cult subplot attempts to deepen the narrative but feels underdeveloped and distracts from the monster tension.
- A solid pick for viewers curious about how horror handles sound as a weapon—just don’t expect originality or tight pacing.
