Description: A young writer Maddie Young forced to live in a world of eternal silence after a teenager was deprived of hearing. She settled in a secluded house in the depths of the forest thicket, where for miles around there is not a single soul and live there in solitude and harmony with each other. Safe pierced the silence breaks late in the evening through the window psycho in a mask, Maddie chose as his next victim, and decided to play with the defenseless girl in a cat-and-mouse.
Maddy (Katy Siegel) at the age of 13 had meningitis, which left her deaf and dumb. Since then the years passed, Maddie has adapted to his new reality, and even became a writer - and her first book has been very popular. Now she is working on a second novel, but her solitude interrupted by the occasional maniac who can not pass such a splendid opportunity to have fun dull evening.
In "Silence" Only five actors, all personal decorations and the absolute minimum of dialogue (a paradise for the translator!) - Once the main character does not hear anything, talk to her a lot of sense does not. And in general, we can say that the girl who was going to send to the light? Convinced that she is able to read lips, maniac fair will present his plan to her (well her torment - so that she began to pray for death - and then kill) and immediately begin to implement it.
Of course, to say that something fundamentally new is impossible difficult, but I must say, the course of deafness of the main character in the story allows you to add a couple of clever moves in the thriller genre of unfriendly intruder. So Maddie does not notice how close to her someone is killed, and the maniac manages to get her noticed even prolamyvayas through obstacles like a bear through the windbreak. While blind characters, such as writers like "give" a phenomenal ear (those cut down the light, and the hunter with the victim immediately change places), and deafness, anyway, no significant odds can not give.
Inspired by old Jala, "Silence" - the movie is very brutal and harsh. Flanagan did not relish violence, but shows it as realistically as possible - before the final figures are not only crawls exhausted mentally, but also physically tormented. While the main rate, he still makes to the psychological horror of the situation - a killer on the run makes it clear that will not agree with him that aid nowhere to wait, and that death will not be easy. Yeah, Maddy home perfectly protected against the ingress (even glass is not so easy vybesh windows), but the authors constantly "tighten up" the situation in such a way that stupid to sit out the attack will not work.
Powerfully built script, confident direction Flanagan (he knows the genre and knows that it works, and what does not), good actors, atmospheric soundtrack and naturalistic, but well-dosed violence does not allow to miss - especially since the last "Silence" only 80 minutes with subtitles. Although, with all its accurate revelation on the film still does not pull - too familiar theme too obvious laws by which these paintings live and breathe.
