A nice little exception in the light of present horror films

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2018)

First off I want to make clear for anyone interested in seeing the film; As a horror fan this movie absolutely is worth watching, and even as a movie fan in general this still is an enjoyable experience. This is not your normal type of boring jumpscarey horror experience.
Although the idea of blind monsters that have to only rely on their sensitive hearing is not exactly original, this movie takes it to a whole new level with almost no audible communication between the characters at all. As the title suggests, the movie itself is fairly silent at many points. This is a post-apocalyptic horror movie with it's own little twist, and no zombies.
Just by looking at the cast you really can't go wrong with the acting. The build-up and background for each individual character is truly powerful and really makes you care about the fate of the family. Just imagine being an actor and only having to rely on your emotions and sign language throughout the entirety of the film.
Now there are a few mildly disappointing parts in the film that I think were not thought out as well as they could've been, some plot holes that if fixed, would've given the movie just the little extra reputation it deserves.
Altogether a very well acted and executed production that will most likely end up being one of the best horror films that I've seen in 2018, mostly just because the future horror movie production is not what it used to be. Well done.
