Film Fridays: Netflix’s “The Silence

Though I’m not so sure what to think of this film, whether it’s taking bits and pieces from “A Quiet Place” and “Bird Box” in an attempt to create the “best” of both cinematic universes. However, even though I don’t entirely buy the ingenuity of this film, and its uniqueness from other recent horror films, I am curious to see what this particular universe has to offer, since hopefully, the trailer only serves as a means of capitalizing on the popularity of the two rather similar horror films I mentioned before (“A Quiet Place”- referring to monsters who detect sound, and “Bird Box”- referring to the cult aspect of the film). Since the movie comes out on Netflix this wednesday, I’m looking froward o seeing how the film is really like beyond what I believe it’ll be like based on the trailer alone.
