The Silence (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

Audience Member This is a decent and serviceable addition to the "don't make a sound or you'll die" movie genre. I'm sure many viewers will immediately compare it to the A QUIET PLACE movies, but THE SILENCE is not a clone of the A QUIET PLACE movies. THE SILENCE movie is based on the novel THE SILENCE by Tim Lebbon, published in 2015, a couple of years before any of these movies were produced. So much for accusations of plagiarism, right?THE SILENCE is pretty grim and doesn't hold back on the dangers faced by the characters. For example, a young mother and her baby get forced off a stalled subway train full of silent passengers because the baby cries. The movie doesn't show the expected carnage and death, but one can see the monsters rounding the bend headed toward the sound of the baby's cries. There is blood, guts, cultists who have removed their tongues, and tons of toothy blind bat-like creatures who are extremely hungry and extremely fertile. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Juan S The film is a poor attempt at a spin-off following the very well-received 2018 film, A Quiet Place. It finds itself in a ridiculously bad position between a parody and serious film. The casting of a hearing person in a deaf role would be less offensive if the performance and logical application of a deaf lifestyle were more accurate - unfortunately the justification that the character recently became deaf is a lazy excuse.

We lasted 20 mins Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review adisen s so bad naur. do not recommend not one bit. better than beverly hills ninja though so one star. 3/10 Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Chris S B list actors (Tucci is a solid B+ I guess) risk their careers in a ripoff of of 'A Quiet Place'. Imagine wanting to watch the Krasinski film but all you got was a bootleg DVD from Temu. Plot holes abound, pointless story arcs that dont resolve, a deaf character played by a hearing actor (nice job), horrific computer generated images, and an ending that makes you want to give yourself an enema, this movie makes me hate at least 3 key aspects of the human experience. I think the prevailing reason why I hated it so much was how much it is apparent that the producers tried and still made whatever this is. There are movies in this world that are so bad that you have to watch them just for the laughs. This is not one of them. I lost 2 hours of my life and I will never forgive whoever John Leonetti is for this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Dinos K Very bad movie, with cheap CGI and mediocre performances. It was like a parody of A Quiet Place Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
