The Silence: Should/could have been better

Based on the concept I was rather surprised that Netflix would venture into material so similiar to one of their other films (A Quiet Place) and so shockingly fast. I can however say this is a different movie altogether, though not really in good way.Early on I was gripped, fantastically made and looking film where Tucci is on the best form I've seen him since The Lovely Bones (2009). This I thought was going to be something really special, but alas the quality dipped pretty hardcore in the last act.It tells the story of small winged creatures that begin to besiege the world in a near apocalyptic event. They respond only to sound so the trick is silence (See where the Quiet Place comparison comes in?). The film follows a family surviving in this world, led by father Tucci and daughter played by Kiernan "Sabrina" Shipka.The cast deliver, the sfx are passable and the whole thing is well constructed but religion takes the stage and ruins the film. Despite being a near theocratic nation I'm still amazed how critical Hollywood usually is over religion and The Silence is no different. It takes a hyper realistic angle here with the religious's interpretation of the incident and it's positively chilling because it's so very believable.I wish they hadn't gone down that route, though realistic it made for uncomfortable viewing and led the movie to a satisfying yet sudden and rather incomplete finale.The Silence should/could have been an outstanding film but instead came out as a real disappointment.The Good:Tucci is on top formSome solid ideasThe Bad:Certain flaws in logic and consistencyGoes in an uncomfortable direction

Deaf people are NOISY!!!!

Writing as a deaf man, I'm here to tell you: We'd be the FIRST TO GO. We can NOT HEAR, right? So we slam doors, toilet seats, clatter dishes, step on branches in the forest, all of that. Why? BECAUSE WE CAN'T BLOODY HEAR IT SO WE DON'T CARE.

The SECOND that the little deaf girl Signed something about "living in silence" like that's going to be a survival trait... I laughed and turned the movie off.

Like I already said: We'd be the FIRST to go. We'd slam a door or something, sneeze, burp, sniff, SOMETHING, and then instantly: crunch-crunch we'd be LUNCH.

STUPID PLOT, STUPID MOVIE.

Don't waste your time.
