While I did take a day yesterday to pay respects to all those that have fallen, I couldn't stay away from a movie in the evening. So, after catching up on The Blacklist, I decided to check out The Silence from 2019.
Plot: The story of a family struggling to survive in a world terrorized by a deadly primeval species that has evolved for millions of years in the pitch-darkness of a vast underground cave system, hunting only with their acute hearing ability. As the family seeks refuge in a remote haven where they can wait out the invasion, they start to wonder what kind of world will remain when they're ready to emerge.
When i sat down last night i want looking for a blockbuster, but i hoped for something that was at least exciting. Unfortunately, this wasn't it. While this one wasn't terrible, and was watchable, it had the potential to be a lot more. Featuring a solid cast, decent atmosphere, and a cool soundtrack, this one was littered with missed opportunities. The storyline was uneven, the creatures themselves packed little punch, and the ending felt a little forced. In the end, this movie was a good time killer on a dreary afternoon, but not much more.
