• It's alright if you don't think.

  The 1st half was pretty good, but there are some serious plot holes. How exactly would carnivorous bats survive underground for millions of years? The writers also seriously expect us to believe that people would be starting crazy murder cults after just a few days? I cringed when the priest said "she is fertile". How is the power still on? Aren't power plants loud? It also seems completely implausible that this would be a completely world ending event. Can't you just blast loud sirens in the cities which would prevent the bats from homing in on small noises? It's also not like the bats can get through concrete.

  After a spell goes awry, Aunt Zelda & Sabrina are forced to reenact A Quiet Place with an 80s B movie creature feature budget, comparatively speaking.

  What was the great Tucci doing in this film??? Just had to get off my chest - why would a house which is protected like Fort knox military compound have an obvious open tube / tunnel leading into it? Why would the owner of said house, who is obviously alert to her surroundings come out screaming with a gun so she is instantly attacked by the swarms of killer vespas who react to the slightest sound? Why if thousands of vespas swarm willingly into a wood chipper just because it's noisy - are these creatures not actually quite easy to kill? Use multiple massive mass vespa killing wood chipper type scenario? while shooting them and attacking with flamethrowers? God help us if completely blind stupid birds is what sends us back to the dark ages... Why does the deaf girl keep the sound on while face timing her boyfriend? Why that cheesy end like the girl and just morphed into Katniss and Gale??? This is the tip of the iceberg. Utterly Woeful.

  There is no logic reasoning in the storyline. I can't see anyone choosing to leave under those circumstances by car and on top of it leaving without a plan! Maybe staying home where there is water and food and where you can choose to not make noise would make more sense. If they would have left to get supplies for boarding the house or stock up on food, okay I get it. But nooooo let's get in the car and drive somewhere without a plan ughhh...

• The Silence Review

  You only need a blender to kill these creatures, yet they take over the world? Stupid movie, there's no reason to fear those creatures as they are easy to trap and destroy! Come on guys, this is ridiculous! Those critters are blind and hunt on sound only, a simple thing like a noisy blender would attract them and kill them easily and in great numbers, just as shown in one scene where they massively fly into a wood chipper machine and are chopped to pieces by the hundreds. Hey, a meat grinder or even a document shredder would do the job! Yet everybody has to move north to colder zones in order to survive because those little monsters can't stand the cold! Also noise can easily be used to manipulate them, whether to attract them or to lure them away, also shown in another scene, so there are so many easy ways to get rid of them that the whole movie makes no sense at all! These creatures come in great numbers, but depend on their ears to locate their prey and on their teeth to attack them. This is such a great weakness that they pose only a threat for really stupid and careless people. The army? The police? Just ran away? Got killed perhaps? The movie could have been more fun with some more realism or at least more logic, showing some creative methods to fend of a light threat resulting in a happy ending. For example a barking dog wearing a spiky armor, complete with helmet, it would attract vesps and have them killed by empaling themselves on the spikes of the armor. Also chainmail is effective against bites, especially from smaller creatures, so come on, where's the one eyed guy that is supposed to be king in the world of the blind? This movie could have been a very good one, but as usual original ideas tend to turn into completely worthless movies. This is one of them. The Tremors franchise is a lot better, at least they don't take themselves too seriously and there's less inconsistencies. The Silence is an absolute failure. Not worth your time.
