Plot:
Upon arriving at their grandparent’s farm, a household quickly realise all the city has been taken out by an unknown monster. And shortly, they develop into the creature’s prey…
Evaluate:
Welcome to the world of Scott Jeffrey. Simply as US firm The Asylum makes mockbuster motion pictures of main Hollywood hits, Brits Scott and fellow Proportion Productions producer Rebecca J. Matthews money in on no matter horror pattern they understand may be a focus for punters by utilizing an identical identify and a few eye-catching art work. Thus, Mr Jeffrey and co. have not too long ago given us Clown Doll; The Dangerous Nun; The Mummy Reborn and Pet Graveyard (you possibly can simply match them with the titles they search to use).
Silent Place or Don’t Communicate (it appears they’re hedging their bets on the most effective title) is clearly an try and cash-in on mega-hit A Quiet Place and its sequel. Anybody has seen any of Scott Jeffrey’s different motion pictures will likely be unsurprised to know that this threadbare manufacturing fails miserably to seize any of the strain or suspense that its greater price range inspiration engendered. Just a few barely gnarly scenes don’t make up for a scarcity of real environment.
Worse nonetheless, and that is an inexplicable rising pattern in Brit horror, the protagonist’s household bickering, muttered utterances or climactic wailings are principally performed by way of some type of transatlantic model of English and American accents, relying on every actor’s finest efforts, as if anybody watching may be fooled it’s set in both the US or the steadily falling aside UK.
Jeffrey’s latest effort Cupid suffered the identical irritating vocal anachronisms however not less than it was undeniably silly and so entertaining on a trashy stage. Till the final monster moments, and like most Proportion Productions, Silent Place is generally simply boring. The one plus factors are the briefly-seen creature make-up and a primarily ambient soundtrack rating composed by Dean McGinnes (nicely, till it overtly apes John Murphy’s 28 Days Later theme in the direction of the climax).
Don’t Communicate? Don’t trouble.

However the script hardly ever tries more durable than it has to, leading to routine indie horror that’s principally simply 80 minutes of individuals operating round or hiding whereas a person in a creature swimsuit stalks them.” Tradition Crypt
” …I like a bit extra to chew on in a horror fantasy movie and there was barely sufficient right here for the unusual monster to get its gooey tooth into. This movie to me was a reasonably staid and non-immersive expertise inside a blood-soaked net of non-intrigue.” HorrorScreams VideoVault
