The Silencing

Solid Movie for 90 minutes - it will keep you entertain. If you can't stop scrolling -this will do the trick.

Very predictable.. Just a lot of ominous music mixed with some tribal stuff. If you have seen other movies of the genre like Silence of the Lambs then this movie is a bit underwhelming.. with a very predictable plot :)

A movie with a strong premise, a decent enough cast and production for it to be entertaining if it weren't for the massive plot holes and unexplainable writing decisions. It could have been a very decent movie. It starts off solid, we get to know a bit about the main characters, which isn't all to bad. But soon you'll notice how pretty much every scene has a major flaw in it. Be it a totally out of character decision, a totally unbelievable decision or just outright impossible. Got shot with an arrow to the shoulder? A few sips of liquor and the next day you will be walking for miles with a person on your back and fight off an equally sized human like it's nothing. Until you get shot (the same day mind you) and have to undergo an improvised surgery (because of another major flaw in the story) which will definitely harm your ability to be active. Or... you will just go back to running, fighting and carrying another person again just a day later... Got your foot stuck in a bear trap? Just some bandages will do the job. Sure, you will be limping a little bit, but driving a car or walking for miles won't be a problem. Surely those crushed bones won't affect you at all... I don't mind to bend the rules of realism a bit for storyline purposes, but to completely ignore all consequences of major physical damage is a bridge too far. It's like the writers just didn't remember what had happened in the previous scene. We get information about characters which won't be followed up anywhere later in the movie. If it's for character building purposes, I don't mind. But if you are going to put emphasis on a particular person and what goes on in their life, I'm expecting to learn more about it later in the movie. The twist in the end was a welcome one. But that feeling sure died down quickly, after learning pretty much nothing about the killer('s motive) and what has happened to their victims. The thing which bothered me the most is the killer saying they only chose victims who no one would miss, while having a whole wall in their house filled with missing people posters. It made no sense. The whole movie is about a father searching for his missing daughter... And why would the killer kill innocent girls instead of the people they actually hate? So many questions left unanswered. But if the plot tells me anything, I don't even want to know the answers to my questions.

Micah Ranum Might wanna try his hands at something else than film writing, because this film should never have been shot.

finding todays killer might find yesterdays killer

Surpsingly Great story, suspense, some action. Really enjoyed it. I would recommend it.

3.5 stars: This movie did not feature any big-time actors. But the acting was good enough to hold my interest throughout the film. Not much time was used to develop the characters to any extent. There was some empathy developed for the father whose daughter was missing. The plot moved very slowly. But it kept you wanting to find out more. To me, that is the most important job of a screen play. I would normally rate a movie like this as 3 stars. However, there were enough twists and turns to satisfy me, and I really liked the ending. No matter how average or normal the other elements of a movie are, I'm always a sucker for a good plot line!!

I just found this little gem. Not bad at all.

Better than expected!

Absolutely fun. Great twists and turns. I kind of figured out who it was a bit early on, and you might too. Plenty of clues to show the way. Very clever.
