Evelyn
(Blunt), her husband Lee (Krasinksi) and their children (Simmonds, Jupe and
Woodward) have survived a global plague of creatures by being silent. The
creatures attack and kill at the slightest sound.
They
live on a farm and make do. Silently. They communicate mostly in sign language.
Unlike
most scary movies this one is scary because the characters are worth caring
about. It’s also slow and contemplative so when the danger approaches it’s
scary.
The
acting is serious and strong. It’s not completely logical and the characters
don’t always act with the greatest of intelligence, but it is, after all, just
a scary movie, not a science documentary.
I just ordered the sequel.
