When I saw the trailer, I was hoping the movie would be better than the book (The Silence by Tim Lebbon). then I wondered why there wasn't a mention of the author. some research later, I found they are calling it an original story by Krasinski, Beck, and Wood. ...ok. Sure. It does explain sooo many changes but considering I never finished reading The Silence, I pushed it off to that. All of this aside, it was a decent movie. Don't Breathe did a much better job building up suspense with the quiet parts but Krasinski and Blunt definitely had great performances.
