Although the novel was written before "A Quiet Place" was made, this felt like a rip off attempt. That said, it sure is an example of how two movies made on an extremely similar concept and story can be so different in quality. "A Quiet Place" was a surprise hit of 2018 and very well done, while "The Silence" makes you wonder how they made the same idea so bad? Skip it if you have anything else to watch, and do not bother with it if you haven't seen "A Quiet Place" yet. You'll want to see that instead!
