ChuckFlixs: The Silence By Chuck VanHooseMay 4, 2019I’m not excited to talk about this movie at all. The movie I decided to watched was The Silence. The movie is about the being attacked by creatures that hunt by sound. Which may sound familiar to a movie from last year titled A Quiet Place. The Silence is based on a book by the same name released in 2015. Many believed that A Quiet Place draw inspiration from that book. Because both involve creatures hunting by sound and the main girl being deaf. A Quiet Place did start and finish filming before the Silence.

I did not like this movie at all. Even if I hadn’t seen A Quiet Place I still would dislike this movie.

The creatures are released when people are exploring caves under the Appalachian Trail. Once released they start hunting down and killing humans.

Positives
I’m going to stretch as far as I can to get one positive. Kiernan Shipka does an okay job as the main character who is deaf. It doesn’t match Millicent Simmonds performance at all. Kiernan doesn’t have any type of hearing impairment in real life. While Millicent is an deaf actor.

Negatives
The character decisions made in this movie are ridiculously dumb. I didn’t want them to survive because every decision practically led to a near death experience. Spoiler ahead but it’s okay because don’t watch this movie. While trying to flee they family takes a back road to escape. Their uncle who is in a separate car crashes and flips his car. This ultimately leads to his death. His car was full of supplies and guns to defend themselves with. The dad played by Stanley Tucci lights the car on fire. So that they creatures will be attracted to it and they can escape. I understand wanting to escape but take the stuff with you.

Phone service and WiFi go in and out throughout the course of the film. Because Kiernan keeps messaging a boy that she likes from school. They are wanting to make sure each other is safe. But at other times there’s no service because the world is ending.

My biggest complaint is the creatures themselves. People of the world decide to call them Vesps because they swarm like wasps. Based on the Spanish word for wasps which is avispa. They look like pterodactyls and make a noise like the Predator.

Rating: 2/10
