Just in case you’re wondering why Netflix would remake ‘A Quiet Place’ when it has hardly been a year since it was released, you should know that it’s really the matter of timing here. But if not, then you should stop here and return only after having watched the film. If you’ve seen it, then go ahead and read this article. Anyway, this isn’t a review, so I won’t tell you if you should watch this film or not. Even I went in with ‘not so high’ expectations. Fair to say, and if you’ve read any reviews, you know that it comes nowhere near to John Krasinski’s brilliant direction-debut. Because of this stark similarity in the concept, ‘The Silence’ faces a lot of pressure from the fans to live up to the expectations of its predecessor. Netflix’s latest release followed the premise that might as well share the universe with ‘A Quiet Place’. ‘ The Silence’ does not enjoy that advantage. One of the reasons that it happened was that it simply was a good film. Anyway, looked like people weren’t fed up of the idea just yet, and ‘Bird Box’ performed rather well. After watching the first film, you become biased about the ones that follow, especially when it’s almost perfect. This could also be because once a new concept has been introduced, it begins to lose its value over time. ‘Bird Box’ was enjoyable, even if it didn’t match the level of ‘A Quiet Place’. Instead of making a sound, this time, your death would be sealed by your vision. The film followed an eerily similar premise with the difference being the hunting method of the creatures. Later in the year, Netflix released ‘ Bird Box’.
