The Silence is a post-apocalyptic horror movie directed by John R. Leonetti. The film is based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Tim Lebbon. The story begins in the present day when humans start encountering creatures called the Vesps, which are blind but hunt using sound. These creatures are extremely sensitive to noise and can locate their prey even in complete darkness.
The main character of the movie is a teenage girl named Ally Andrews (Kiernan Shipka), who is deaf and mute. The Andrews family, including Ally's parents, Hugh (Stanley Tucci) and Kelly (Miranda Otto), and her brother Jude (Kyle Breitkopf), decide to flee from the city when the Vesps begin their attack. They drive to a remote cabin in the woods in the hopes of finding safety.
On the way, they encounter a mysterious cult led by a man named Reverend (John Corbett), who believes that the Vesps are a divine punishment for humanity's sins. The cult members have not been affected by the Vesps and have developed a unique way of communicating without making any sound. The Andrews family initially distrusts the cult but soon realizes that they may be their only hope for survival.
As they try to survive the Vesps' attacks, the Andrews family struggles with their own internal conflicts and relationships. They also discover that Ally's deafness may be an advantage in their fight against the Vesps. Together, they must navigate danger, betrayal, and an uncertain future in a world threatened by the deadly creatures.
Overall, The Silence is a tense, gripping thriller that explores themes of family, survival, and the dangers of blind faith. The film combines elements of horror, sci-fi, and drama to create an engaging and thought-provoking story.
