Based on a novel, this NetFlix horror cashes in on the success of John Krasinski's similar yarn about a world full of hearing-sensitive monsters, only it somehow pulls it off better.
First of all, we get more backstory of how the disaster came about. It shows us the eerie and all too real scenario of news broadcasts warning us of attacks, and people trying to grasp the new reality. Secondly, the pterodactyl-like creatures here seem more believable than Quiet's spider-aliens. This is why we shouldn't go poking around in caves.
Finally, the characters are marginally smarter than Krasinski and Blunt. They catch on quick, keep loud toys away from their children, and have the good sense to keep their shoes on!
So, "The Silence" is a pretty good thriller, and you just might like it more than "Quiet Place."
