Far FAR worse films than this. But its Fault ridden for sure.

Yes the films titles. Silly. Those reviewers marking this a 1 and saying its 'worst film ever' are quite frankly sad. Theres NO WAY this is even close to being the worst film ever made. Cons. Yes it has faults, the name, the overly long scenes of nothing before the kills, those idiotic fake American accents when the film is CLEARLY set in UK!?? Ha ha. Why? Help sell jn America ?? Creature attracted to sound......so women scream constantly. !?? Using Predator sounds for creature was also amusing. Sons back story was pointless. Some hit and miss acting at times. Pros. But it is well put together, a good standard, acting is bearable for the most part (accents aside), there are a couple of decent make up FX on the kills, the creatures mask is good (although the hands look rubber and silly). Music good, editing good. So it's far from the many films out there that look like have been shot by inadequate media students having fun at the weekend.

For a derivative monster film riffing off the fantastic 'A Quiet Place' and clearly on a small budget it works ok. Well done to all involved. Good effort. Onwards and upwards.

horrible

I created an account just to leave this review. HORRIBLE movie.. I can deal with a bad movie if it has some good parts to it.. bad acting but good special effects? sure, ill deal with it.. great acting but horrible everything else? sure, ill watch it.. But what good part does this movie have? not a single thing.. TERRIBLE acting. TERRIBLE special effects, TERRIBLE costumes, Terrible EVERYTHING!!!!!!! even something as simple as them making a flickering light due to power loss they screwed up.. on the screnes where theres a flickering light, it looks like someone is flicking a light switch on and off at an even pace.. for a half hour straight.. A dying light doesnt look like a strobe light!!!!!!!!! The monsters were just people in costumes made out of rubber.. the elongated fingers were rubber and floppy when they moved.. These monsters that supposedly hunt their prey by sounds dont react when theres someone 2 feet from it breathing loud and making noise?

I turned this on because i thought it was the part 2 of "A Quiet Place".. This was an hour long waste of my time.

I rate this ZERO stars

Literally, NOT exaggerating, Worst movie i have ever seen in my life.

DONT WATCH IT

Full of slow moving annoying characters that all should have been killed when they arrived at grandma's. Waste of time, fast forwarded to the end just to see what happened and still lame. Z grade acting if you can call it that.

Everybody scream!

This was acted like a high school play... maybe worse. Everyone is British but trying to speak with an American accent. With zero reason, the dad decides the creatures hunt by sound and then within 5 minutes everyone is screaming. Also, everyone breathes SO LOUDLY... close your damn mouths! This movie is *upsetting*.

Best Movie They Have Shown At Our Prison In Years

Usually on my cell block they pick stupid movies, but this was really scary and kept me up all night with my cell mate. It reminded me of 40 years ago when they they showed Amityville Horror on our cell block and I was up all night. Acting was better than most of my cell block brothers when they do plays in the cafeteria area. Luckily my cell mate was able to hold me when I would have nightmares about this film.

Pleasantly Surprising.

While likely not what you would expect from a horror movie, Don't Speak is an amusing foray into what film can be. The entire run time feels like a collection of clips and scenes from other media, with lighting, camera angle, and even acting changing wildly from scene to scene. At times reading more like an insurance commercial than a horror film, it will wildly fluctuate to scenes more reminiscent of Alien or Cloverfield.

In many ways it feels like an homage to loved media made with low budgets during lockdown. At other moments, it can feel like the film is purposefully trolling the audience, proudly declaring "we don't actually have to write anything." In many ways perhaps a commentary on modern media development.

Do not expect originality or consistency, but this does not detract from what is overall a fairly solid production.

Had potential...

But was brought down by long drawn out sequences leading up to any excitement. Also it just didn't make much sense through large parts of the film. You do have to give it up for the amount of gore though. I mean this is a bloody disgusting movie, and mean that in a good way. Overall it's worth a watch if you are really bored and have a craving to see something on the gorey side. Just don't expect too much. It is not a great movie.

Don't mistake it with A quiet place II

It just has a similar name. I stopped it after 30 minutes when I realized it was the wrong movie

A waste of time

This movie is absolutely ridiculous! all the characters are so scared that they can't move can't close the door behind them when they are pursued by the creature. Too frightened to move? Absolutely a stupid movie and poor acting.

A solid and watchable if not mandatory watch

Heading out on a road-trip, a dysfunctional family looking into a potential sign of distress from their parents, but when they find the house empty and no one around they decide to stay and investigate where they discover a race of humanoid mutations has escaped and killed everyone forcing them to fight them off.

This one was somewhat better than expected and had a lot to like about it. One of the finer features here is the atmospheric work featured here which manages to make this quite more suspenseful than it should be. With the majority of the action taking place at the remote house in the middle of the night, there are some genuinely atmospheric and chilling shots of the fog rolling through the landscape towards them while various animal growls and stalking are heard in the distance which goes nicely with the setting of the abandoned houses and missing individuals. As hardly anyone is aware of what's going on and the resulting unaware nature of the creatures or what they are, it only adds to the whole setting of the film in general. This fine setup-work goes nicely with the films' enjoyable amount of creature action present. The opening attack on the people in the house serves to get it going nicely with some creepy stalking and a brief glimpse of the creatures, while the later discovery of the creature up in the attic as it rests unaware of the girl until it chases her through the house and outside leading to several other min-encounters along the way is the best sequence in the effort. The final half, which introduces a contagion subplot that spreads to its victims reveals some great carnage in the body-melting scenes to go alongside the creature attacks which are surprisingly brutal and gory, has a lot to like about it. As well as the stellar look of the deformed creatures, these are what hold the film up as the film does have some minor issues about it. The main thing holding it back is the lagging pacing which tends to undo a lot of the atmosphere at play here with the film taking a bit too long to get to the good parts. The investigation here is the biggest factor, as the scenes of them wandering through the house, visiting the neighbors or going into the abandoned town serve to build up the mystery and atmosphere nicely yet are played out in such lethargic tempos that it's likely to leave viewers bored at the situation rather than creeped out. As well, there's also a rather curious feature where they manage to figure out the creature's backstory through urban legend rather than believable means and it strains credulity to have operated in that fashion, leaving this one with its main flaws.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

What's with the bad reviews?

What's with all the 1s. This movie is not that bad. Okay so it's a low budget knock off of a quiet place but it's still watchable and adds a nice twist. It's not that bad and sure the CGI can't compare. The monsters are mostly guys in costumes but that's old school monster movies and it still works. Shape of Water is just a guy in a costume and that won Best Picture! Overall it's still watchable.
