Even though 'The Silence' is based on a novel in its own right, it's impossible not to compare this to 'A Quiet Place'. Unfortunately, 'A Quiet Place' is a much better film.

The chemistry between the characters in 'A Quiet Place' was very good, I cared about what happened to them, which made that film successful. With 'The Silence', the characters felt one dimensional and, even thought they were a family, their relationship seemed very forced. I found some of the decisions that they made throughout the film, to be really implausible.

Also, what gave 'A Quiet Place' a sense of authenticity, was the fact that the deaf character in the story, was played be a deaf actress. In 'The Silence', this wasn't the case.

I thought that the plot at the beginning was predictable, but passable. However, towards the end of the film, a threat from a sect was inexplicably thrown in, and for me, the film completely unraveled.

'The Silence' had a few jump scares, but this film didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. The creatures themselves, were a cross between 'Gremlins' and dinosaurs from 'Jurassic Park' and it wasn't particularly scary, because of their bad CGI.

Despite its flaws, I stayed watching until the end of the film and to be honest, I wish I hadn't. The ending was rushed and unsatisfactory. It didn't have much of a resolution at all and left me wondering if I'd missed something, as everything was resolved so quickly.

If you want to watch an 'apocalyptic/monsters taking over the world 'type of a film, I don't recommend watching 'The Silence'. Watch 'A Quiet Place' instead.
