Maybe it is just me but I found the addition of the cult group to be kind of corny and predictable. In ‘A Quiet Place’, there is a lot of silence, to the point that most of the verbal communication occurred in the last third of the film the rest of the communication was non-verbal, which provided much more atmosphere to the movie.

And for a film that has a plot of having the characters be silent in order to survive, there sure was a lot of talking.

How did the tablet maintain its charge for all that time, and how did she have such a good data connection even while in the house in the middle of nowhere? And if she had such great reception, how come no one else used their cellphones to check on other people or the news? Was I expected to believe that not a single person packed their phone with them but the one daughter thought to bring her tablet and be the informer of the news for the family? I don’t think so.Īnother huge issue with ‘The Silence’ is that the movie has a steady stream of intense scenes, so we don’t get a buildup of drama.

I found the scenes with Ally constantly using her tablet extremely unrealistic. I didn’t feel that connection with any of the characters in ‘The Silence.’ We felt what each character was going through and we rooted for them. John Krasinski’s character, though, was the strong patriarch of the family in ‘A Quiet Place,’ who was admired and respected by his children and trusted to protect and shelter them. I know his character is supposed to be passive and non-confrontational – the opposite of John Corbett’s character, Glenn – but how are we, the viewer, expected to believe that Hugh was going to save the family and lead them to a safer place? A few times in the film I found myself wondering why he didn’t just grab the gun or a weapon in the beginning to save his family? It would have saved him from the bad things that happened later. I also found Stanley Tucci’s character to be annoyingly boring. Also, Ally is played by an actress with normal hearing ability, whereas Regan in ‘A Quiet Place’ is played by Millicent Simmonds, who is deaf in real life, adding much more depth to her character. If it weren’t for the fact that sometimes you would see the family members sign to eachother, you often forget that one of them is hearing impaired.

In ‘The Silence,’ the family encounters a strange cult of people that dominates the latter part of the film.įor instance, Ally has full speech and lip-reading ability due to the late stage of her hearing loss, so we often forget that she is even deaf.

In ‘A Quiet Place,’ we don’t see any other people in the film except in one scene where they encounter an old man, and the scene didn’t last long.

Regan in ‘A Quiet Place’ had been deaf all her life and uses a cochlear implant in ‘The Silence,’ the daughter only lost her hearing 3 years prior, when she was 13, so she speaks fluently and has no hearing aids or devices.

The creatures in ‘A Quiet Place’ are aliens (the origins of which we get more explanation on in Part II), while the bat-like creatures in ‘The Silence” are unearthed by cave researchers and theorized to have evolved over hundreds of years into what they are now.

The creatures in ‘A Quiet Place’ move on the ground the creatures in ‘The Silence’ are bat-like and fly.

‘A Quiet Place’ is a post-apocalyptic film that occurs some time after the creatures have already arrived ‘The Silence’ occurs during the beginning of the invasion.

There is a star-studded cast in both films: John Krasinski and Emily Blunt in ‘A Quiet Place,’ and Stanley Tucci, Miranda Otto, John Corbett in ‘The Silence.’.

Monstrous creatures in both films use sound to hunt their prey.Both films focus on families that are proficient in sign language.The families in both films have a hearing-impaired daughter.The family has the advantage of knowing sign language, due to the daughter’s hearing impairment, and they use this to help them stay alive. In The Silence, a family flees the city when bat-like creatures come out of hiding and attack the human race using sound. They stay silent in order to evade these predators, using their knowledge of sign language to help them survive. In A Quiet Place, a family attempts to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where creatures hunt people using sound.
