The Hushed Nearly Kill The Andrews Family
In The Silence movie ending, Ally (Kiernan Shipka) and Hugh attempt to find antibiotics to stave off an infection in Kelly's (Otto) leg. When they leave the pharmacy, they encounter a cult leader of The Hushed (Billy MacLellan) and ignore his attempts to ingratiate them into the fold. The cult then follows them from the pharmacy to the remote safe house. Hugh tries his best to get the cultists to leave him and the rest of the Andrews family alone, only for The Reverend to explain that they wa...
They Are Ancient Bat-Like Creatures
Like something from a Jurassic Park meets Alien crossover movie, the creatures in Netflix's The Silence are pterodactyl-type monsters called "Vesps." The opening scene shows that the Vesps escape from a sealed underground cave system and will devour anything that makes a sound. Ally does a bit of research on the monsters and finds that Vesps are an ancient species that evolved during their entrapment. Like real cave dwellers like bats, Vesps are blind and can only find their prey through soun...
They Know How To Survive In A Terrifying New World
They might seem like a typical apocalyptic cult but the Reverend and his followers, The Hushed, represent one of the major themes of not only The Silence but also the A Quiet Place franchise and Netflix's other release, Bird Box. All three movies introduce a new predator into the ecosystem and show how humanity adapts to survive. In Bird Box, for example, Sandra Bullock's character teaches her children always to use blindfolds outside to survive. The Abbotts in A Quiet Place and the Andrews f...
Their Breeding Cycle Was Too Quick For Anyone To Stop
As with most apocalypse movies, one of the first questions is how the might of the United States military was so helpless in the face of rampaging creatures like the Vesps. After escaping from a cave system where they have been evolving for thousands of years, the Vesps quickly cover the country in devastating numbers, slaughtering entire cities full of people until The Silencemovie's ending. It would require unlimited Vesps, more than could be feasibly contained in a single cave system. Tim...
Both Humans & Vesps Have To Adapt Or Die
The Silence, A Quiet Place, and Bird Box are interesting because they all reframe something that would have traditionally been thought of as a disability — blindness or deafness — as a survival trait that gives people an evolutionary advantage. Ally is better suited to survive in the new world because she's used to communicating without sound, much like Regan from A Quiet Place. The Silence movie's ending shows her and Rob hunting the Vesps in the woods and offers hope for a future where huma...
The Location, Cult's Needs, & Final Stinger Changes
Tim Lebbon published The Silence in 2015, years before A Quiet Place hit theaters. The two movies also went into production around the same time, so the comparisons were mostly just coincidental. However, the comparisons remain there thanks to The Silence not being released as a movie after it wrapped, and Netflix releasing it much later after A Quiet Placehad already become a worldwide success. That said, the movie made big changes from the source novel. The Netflix movie moved the action to...

Civil war breaks out. The Cossacks, proud of their free heritage, are strongly nationalistic and want an autonomous government for the Don region. Many of them join the counterrevolutionists,...
Gregor again joins the Red Army, to fight the Poles but finally realises that fighting is not what he wants and effectively retires from fighting, ending up back with his family. All of this, of course, is against the background of both the Don region and the civil war in Russia in the early 1920s.
