Nowadays it seems when European filmmakers want to make pictures in North America, it’s always some gritty backwoods blood-drenched drama or thriller. Same with young actors like the Fiennes fella wanting to play black-eyed scruffy snotty miscreants. Is this some wayward pursuit of a kind of authenticity? Because what it is, ultimately, no matter how much competence is brought to bear to such exercises, tiresome. Read full review

The Silencing is a decently exhilarating thriller movie, even if the twists in the story aren't always well-earned or well thought out. Read full review

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was terrific in this movie. The scenery was good, and the acting by everyone involved was good. This movie won’t win any awards nor any acclaim but it is a good watch

A solid, decent American thriller. Moves quickly with engaging performances and a straightforward plot line. Was a better watch than expected.
