Critics Consensus

The Silence has nothing new to say with a derivative premise and placid pacing -- even a wasted Stanley Tucci is unable to elevate the stodgy material a decibel above dreadful.

Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

The estimable trio at the heart of the cast goes close to carrying the whole thing over the line, but it never feels as taut or kinetic as it needs to be.

New York Times

There may come a time when the Netflix algorithm grows sophisticated enough to cut out the middle man and write its own scripts, but until that day arrives, niche-targeted dreck like "The Silence" will have to suffice.

Imagine A Quiet Place, but deeply mediocre.

Butler's Cinema Scene

The Silence has been reasonably well made by director John R. Leonetti. And he has assembled a surprisingly classy cast.

Rated: C+

The Beat

The cult plot in The Silence is as poorly handled as nearly every other part of the film. With the exception of a great cast, headed by Kiernan Shipka, Stanley Tucci, and Miranda Otto, the film lacks any cohesion and feels almost unwatchable.

The Silence is a painful attempt to remake A Quiet Place, which came out the year before. Though this is based on a 2015 novel of the same name, the story has already been done perfectly, leaving little to be desired in this straight-to-streaming flick.

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.

Very bad movie, with cheap CGI and mediocre performances. It was like a parody of A Quiet Place

This movie is appallingly bad. Who wrote this absolute joke of a script? Overriding summary: stupid people die stupidly when crisis strikes. Every single decision was wrong. Watching this movie is like seeing the backstory of the dead bodies the protagonists would be stepping over in a normal suspense or horror movie. The ending is pointless and resolves nothing. The only amusing moment in the ENTIRE film was the wood chipper, which illustrates how easily this entire "crisis" could've been solved. Whatever you do, don't waste your time on this garbage.

Knock off version of a Quiet Place, nothing happens, also they used a hearing actor to play a deaf character, so there's that...

I love Tucci and Shipka. This was okay. We needed more info on the crazy man, I would like to see more carnage when they finally stopped them. I wish they would have had the story where the things were eradicated rather than "I wonder if they adapt to the cold in the future?". They should have let me write it.
