In just under two weeks’ time, a thrilling new movie based on a book by Tim Lebbon published in 2015 will be premiering on Netflix in the form of “The Silence.” This highly anticipated film will be available to view from April 10th, 2019 onwards. Drawing inevitable comparisons to the recent hit movie “A Quiet Place,” “The Silence” tells the gripping story of a world under siege by terrifying creatures that hunt their prey using sound alone.
The Plot and Characters
The storyline centers around 16-year-old Ally Andrews, portrayed by Kiernan Shipka, who lost her hearing at the age of 13. As the world falls into chaos due to the emergence of these sound-sensitive creatures, Ally and her family seek refuge in a remote haven. However, their quest for safety takes a dark turn when they encounter a sinister cult that aims to exploit Ally’s heightened senses for their own nefarious purposes. The film promises a blend of suspense, horror, and emotional depth, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
The cast of “The Silence” is impressive, featuring Stanley Tucci, known for his versatile roles in films like “The Hunger Games” and “The Lovely Bones.” Kiernan Shipka, who has gained fame for her role in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” brings a compelling performance as Ally. The movie also stars Miranda Otto, John Corbett, Kate Trotter, and Kyle Breitkopf, each contributing to the film’s dynamic and engaging narrative.
“When the world is under attack from terrifying creatures who hunt their human prey by sound, 16-year-old Ally Andrews (Kiernan Shipka), who lost her hearing at 13, and her family seek refuge in a remote haven. But they discover a sinister cult who are eager to exploit Ally’s heightened senses. Based on the acclaimed novel, THE SILENCE is directed by John R. Leonetti (ANNABELLE).”
Behind the Scenes
“The Silence” is directed by John R. Leonetti, who is no stranger to the horror genre, having directed “Annabelle” and worked as a cinematographer on “The Conjuring.” His expertise in creating tension and fear is expected to elevate the film, making it a standout addition to Netflix’s growing library of original content.
The screenplay, adapted from Tim Lebbon’s novel, captures the essence of the book while bringing new elements to the screen. The film explores themes of survival, family bonds, and the human spirit’s resilience in the face of unimaginable horror. The use of sound, or the lack thereof, plays a crucial role in building suspense, much like in “A Quiet Place,” but with its unique twists and turns.
The new movie adds to the ever-growing list of original Netflix content, which is continually rolling out, providing a wealth of viewing options no matter your tastes. From gripping dramas and comedies to documentaries and horror films, Netflix continues to cater to a diverse audience, ensuring there’s always something new and exciting to watch.
