Storyline;

Two parents do what it takes to keep their children safe in a world full of creatures hunting every sound they can hear. Not a sound can be heard from the family hiding in silence, but all it takes is one noise and everything can go wrong

Thoughts;

Although I wish there had been a little bit more back story, this movie was awesome! It was both terrifying and entertaining at the same time. Since the aliens go by sound, the entire movie was done in sign language and you have to either read the words or know sign language to follow it, which is a normal a “no” for me, but this movie was certainly an exception.



The characters play off each other perfectly.



The movie starts out with the family exploring threw an abandon store. There are 3 kids and the 2 parents, one of the children, Regan, is deaf. Sign language is used here for the first time and throughout the movie. The youngest child, Beau, is wanting a rocket ship. On the way out of the store, Lee (the father) sees the toy. He takes out the batteries and signs to Beau that it's “Too loud”. He sets both the toy and the batteries on the counter. Regan gives him just the rocket ship back and turns to walk out of the store, Beau grabs the batteries and continues walking.



When the family gets to a foot bridge Beau gets the batteries back into the rocket and it immediately makes loud noises, Lee runs towards him but doesn't make it before an alien swoops Beau up.



The movie then cuts to hundreds of days later where Evelyn is pregnant. Everything things to be going ok but while Lee and Marcus are out, things take a turn when Evelyn both goes into labor and steps onto an exposed nail. She makes noise which draws the aliens in. From here on out, it's a fight for survival.



I won't tell anymore of the movie from here as it would be telling the entire movie, if your into these types of movies you'll have to watch it for yourself.
