Alien at the Movies

The Silencing

Is someone hunting young teenage girls for sport?

A reformed hunter/trapper, Rayburn (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), spots a camouflaged figure seemingly chasing a female on his camera security system protecting his private wildlife sanctuary. He is an alcoholic reclusive stricken by grief & guilt over his own missing daughter lost 5 years ago. Annabelle Wallis plays the female sheriff investigating a dead body that has washed up. This is a clouded & complicated cat & mouse game of hunt & be hunted as audiences try to figure out who is the real killer. Not all makes perfect sense but if you don’t sweat the details, you might be entertained.

Alien gives it 2½ “atlatis” stars out of 4.
