Film Review – The Silence (2019) [Video]

One can’t but help but feel some kind of pity for The Silence. After the book of the same name hit shelves back in 2015, the film adaptation was immediately put into pre-production, with Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka signing on to star in the film. But a lot has changed since the film began principal photography back in 2017, namely the releases of both A Quiet Place and Bird Box…and the bankruptcy of The Silence‘s former distributor Global Road Entertainment. And to add just a bit more salt into the wound, John R. Leonetti, the director of Wish Upon, helmed the project.

Press F to pay respects, internet.

The following review will be spoiler free.
