Leave your thoughts about The Silence.
| IGNKristy PuchkoHere A Quiet Place thrilled by presenting a fleshed out family under a precise and horrifying threat, The Silence is satisfied to just plop down barely sketched characters then throw them into The Birds but more violent. That doesn't make it satisfying. There's just nothing special to be found in The Silence. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoA dull retread of ideas explored more interestingly in other films and TV shows. Even the always-welcome Stanley Tucci can’t add any flair to a movie that feels so much like a relative of John Krasinski’s 2018 smash hit that one has to wonder if Netflix didn’t try to convince the producers to rename it “A Quiet Paradox.” |
| The GuardianCharles BramescoThis is the most insidious type of knockoff: the one that sincerely expects you to believe that it’s the real thing. Leave it to Netflix to take the fun out of incompetence. |
| The New York TimesScott TobiasThe Silence posits a grand evolutionary struggle between mankind and its winged tormentors, but every moment feels like regression. |
| User ReviewqbaseΥπήρχε δυνατότητα για μερικές πολύ καλές και έξυπνες στιγμές, τις οποίες και δεν αξιοποιεί μέσα στον συγκεκριμένο χώρο που έχει, χαραμίζοντας μια αρχικά ενδιαφέρουσα ιδέα, η οποία μπορούσε να προσφέρει περισσότερα. |
| User ReviewMetavoltron"A Quiet Place" meets "Reign of Fire" but this time... velociraptor bats. Oh, and the girl from Mad Men. And Stanley mofo'n Tucci! It's getting ridiculous how Netflix is making movies purely based on focus groups and target audiences. This one is an unfortunate waste of time. |
| User ReviewJLauBirdbox meets Quiet Place as family with deaf daughter survive better than most when overly-evolved seemingly non-dangerous killer bats attack. |
| User ReviewRecepFilm fena değil ama çok eksik oyuncular ifadesiz film çok acemice olmuş iyi yapabilecekken sanki aceleyle yapılmiş gibi filmin nasil bittiğini anlamadim direk gelişen olaylar ve sonuca bağlandi çokta izlemenizi tavsiye etmem film bulamayanlar için izlenebilir ancak arada bir film izleyenler için sıkıcı olabilir Expand |
| User ReviewQhasiYou'd think a film in which the creatures are blind and rely solely on their sense of hearing, the creatures' would have a more heightened sense of hearing. Seriously; even dogs have better hearing than these creatures, and they don't need it as much.That's the most glaring flaw. At least Bird Box as much as it was a knock-off, was about seeing the creatures. That being said; at least there is a sequence with the cult that gives the film life if only for a few minutes. It's not as bad as it could be but it could have been better. Stanley Tucci's presence in this film tricked me the way I see it tricked most. |
| User ReviewIamcritical86This was comically lousy, with plenty of "WTF" moments to help you forget how many HORRIBLE decisions that Stanley Tucci's character made in this epic fail of a film. That scene where he's sharpening a stick? GENIUS. If he would've kept his family in the damn house to begin with, he wouldn't need his little stick.... just.... |
