![]() ![]() Because Ally and her family can communicate via sign language, they are well-equipped to battle through this vicious apocalypse. ![]() This is coupled with the leading young character Ally Andrews ( Kiernan Shipka – the leading star in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) being deaf, with a scaringly accurate portrayal of the disability. The Silence, like A Quiet Place, relies on the plot device of, well, silence. The creatures are blind after being underground for years, so if you keep your crying baby quiet, and you don’t have a dog, you are relatively safe. With The Silence, they remove the pretentiousness, and from the start show the ancient creatures called Vesps, which attack your flesh if they can hear you. There does seem to be a growing subgenre of horror based on senses, and having to suppress a specific function, so an unknown beast(s) does not kill you. ![]() The question that was brought forward in a pointless debate is this: was The Silence made because of A Quiet Place? My answer to this: who gives a s**t?īut then again, just in case you are curious, The Silence is based on the 2015 horror novel of the same name by Tim Lebbon, and they started casting for the Netflix film back in 2017 so no, it is just a coincidence. ![]() Netflix film The Silence has only caught my attention due to the pathetic squabbling that always seems to engulf Film Twitter these days. ![]()
