The Silence

First, it's Netflix.
Second, it's worth watching just to see how hilariously shit Netflix movies are now and probably always will be:

 

is it as shit as The Quiet Place?
sounds like the same concept

i like horrors so i'll watch it soon

 

A Quiet Place was brilliant.

 

A Quiet Place was the most overrated movie I've ever seen. Mediocre as fuck.

 

Overrated but not crap

 

Holy Crap! This looks exactly like a story I wrote when I was in college! Damn, I need to sue somebody!!!!

 

o_O the movie is idiotic in too many ways to bother typing out...i think they just said 'fuck it, whatever'


they should make a movie where the monsters attack based on smell for a change...just a post apocalyptic world where lots of people get killed whilst taking a dump or farting, and are constantly showering and using baby wipes

 

LOL, this might be RWTP's funniest post ever.

 

HaHa, man, Netflix knows they have a sucker in me. Gotta get my 12 bucks a month out of the service. I think the worst part of the movie is how they ended it abruptly and immediately launched us into an expectation for a sequel............hell, perhaps an entire movie universe.

Not the first time some shitty Netflix movie felt like a pilot for a TV series that never got made.

I'd guess this was already getting made when "The Quiet Place" came out, and they said "Oh Shit, We're Fucked!", and then it sat on a shelf unfinished until Netflix came around and said "Hey, we heard you made a movie that nobody wants to see and we've got bags full of money we don't know what to do with and we need to expense out at soon as possible. Can we buy it from you?"

 

Don't worry. When Disney+ launches on November 12 for $6.99 and with a monster catalogue of movies including Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Disney classics from way back, a whole bunch of exclusives, television series including all 30 seasons of Simpsons, the entire 21st Century Fox movie catalogue, etc...you probably will end up canning Netflix! :)

 

Most likely scenario.

 

If it is indeed at $6.99 I'll cancel Netflix right away!

 

It launches on November 12 at $6.99 per month or an annual fee of $69.99 per year ($5.83 per month).

A peak at the Disney+ streaming service navigation-screen released yesterday by Disney CEO Bob Iger...



In the first year after its launch, Disney+ will include 7,500 episodes of current and off-air TV shows; 25 original series and 10 original movies and specials; 400 library movie titles; and 100 recent theatrical films release. That includes exclusive rights to all 30 seasons of “The Simpsons,” which Disney obtained through the acquisition of 21st Century Fox. In year five of Disney+, the company expects to have an annual production slate of some 50 originals.

Disney+ will be the exclusive SVOD home for new releases from Walt Disney Studios, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel beginning with the 2019 theatrical slate, which includes “Captain Marvel,” “Toy Story 4,” “Dumbo,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Frozen II,” the live-action remakes of “Aladdin” and “The Lion King,” “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” and “Star Wars: Episode IX.”

The service will also offer access to Disney’s film library — including, within the first year of Disney+’s launch, all of the Star Wars films, according to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Also in the Disney+ lineup at launch will be 250 hours of NatGeo content, including documentary films “Jane” and Oscar-winner “Free Solo,” and hundreds of episodes from Disney Channel shows as well as a brand-new “Phineas and Ferb” movie featuring many of the same voice cast.

Over the past several months, Disney has announced a slew of programming it’s queuing up for Disney+. That includes “The Mandalorian”; a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” starring Diego Luna; the next season of Star Wars animated series “Clone Wars”; and a new series based on Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.” called “Monsters at Work.”

In addition, Disney+ is set to get several Marvel live-action series, including one centering on Loki (starring Tom Hiddleston); “WandaVision,” with Elizabeth Olsen returning as Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany reprising his role as The Vision; and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” starring Anthony Mackie as Falcon and Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier. In addition, shows are in the works featuring Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Hawkeye, with Jeremy Renner set to reprise the role.

Disney+ also will include several behind-the-scenes production documentary series, for “Frozen II,” the Favreau-directed live-action “The Lion King,” and various Pixar and Star Wars productions, as well as “Marvel’s What If…?” animated series (adapted from the comic book series of the same name) that explores alternative histories for characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

Spoiler :

well they went north cos it turns out that the monsters don't like the cold - which is something that they forgot to explain during the movie, but could have easily done so with a scene where they hide in a meat locker or lure one into the fridge or something..AND THEN conclude that they need to head north
a few adjustments could have made this movie half decent, but I think Netflix just doesn't care

also what was with the family using sign language and also speaking to each other when the deaf girl wasnt even around

 

IMO, more screaming babies should be kicked off Subway trains and airplanes. No need to wait until blind prehistoric bat dinosaurs invade our earthly above ground plane.

BTW, what did those bat dinos live on while they were holed up in the center of the earth for millions of years? Each other?

 

I am hopeful that the Disney stream will give us all the 20th Century Fox classics library. In the 70s 20th Century Fox was my favorite movie studio with Warner Bros a distant second followed by Paramount. Metro Goldwyn Mayer was moribund at that time and only its partnership with United Artists (James Bond franchise) kept it alive. Disney was a joke and was tagged as children's stuff. Most of the Disney live action films were low budget affairs that nobody watched except for 'Escape to witch Mountain' which became a minor hit. It wasn't until Walt Disney's son-in-law, Ron Miller, took the reign's of the company that the live action division began to become mainstream interesting (The Black Hole, TRON, Dragonslayer among others), created Touchstone Pictures, a Disney pseudonym to produce & release more adult content films with *gasp!* PG & PG-13 ratings. The first film was Splash! which became a solid hit and from then on had a string of mainstream hits beating out many of the other studios films. Miller also was behind the creation of EPCOT Center and Disneyland Tokyo. The dominance Disney studio enjoys today is the legacy forged by Ron W. Miller, who passed away two months ago at age 85.

 

Yeah it was BAD.....REAL BAD..

 

Let me start by saying that the basic premise of 'The Silence' had potential for a truly awesome film , however it was ruined by a bad script and lazy execution. I mean the authorities kept warning people to not make noise while police cars were driving blasting their sirens, loud helicopters flying around, cars in a traffic jam honking their horns, guys firing their weapons at a gas station and on and on and on...STILL since I am a sucker for monster movies, I watched the whole thing to its pathetic end.

 

Next Netflix original should be about a huge boat that hits an ice berg and sinks. Call it Gigantic.
