Silence is golden?

Rating: 6/10 (17 May 2020)

I would class the film in a category that a I made up after watching IT, kiddie horror.
It tells the story of a post apocalyptic world ala Mad Max and a family in particular that live in a seemingly deserted town in the U.S. like mormons.
A father and mother Lee and Evelyn (director John Krasnski and his real life wife Emily Blunt), a son Marcus (Noah Jupe), and deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds).
Whenever a sound is made predators that look like the prawn creatures off District 9 appear and eat!
The family communicate by sound language to aid silent communication and to communicate with Regan, who also has high frequency hearing aids.
The town is deserted and it appears everyone else has died from one reason or another.
Basically that is the premise, silence or scary creatures. Accidental sounds lead to a couple of set pieces with the creatures who Regan discovers are disabled from the high frequency sounds of her hearing aids.
A 'complication' is added to the plot. Evelyn is pregnant. (Didn't they make a noise in fornication?)
How will Evelyn stay quiet when her waters break and the pain and agony of childbirth? Quell another set piece.
More a thriller than a horror.
The jump scares had minimal impact on me and I have seen it all before.
