The Silent Hour (2024)
[en.wikipedia; IMDB]
Entertaining overall, although some (or many?) viewers may not fully appreciate it.
The sound & soundtrack are really good, really creative - they create the perfect atmosphere.
The cinematography gets really good & creative at times.
...and when the best of both cinematography and sound & soundtrack from this movie meet on the big screen - and they do meet quite many times! - magic happens!
Indeed, the storyline may be simple, straightforward, linear, predictable... with several twists just as predictable... but it gets the job done - it is a good simple story with some really good & creative cinematography and sound & soundtrack at times...
Really good acting.
The cinema experience is a must.
TV just cannot deliver what the cinema delivers with respect to this movie.
It’s a thriller, not your standard action movie, ok?!
It does have good action from time to time, just enough to keep one focused on the story.
If it had starred some A-list (or at least famous) actors, if it had had a greater marketing & advertising budget to promote it... it would’ve been a hit!
Indeed, one can just feel they’ve been on a low budget, but they pulled some incredible magic with that low budget!
Good job! and Congratulations to everyone involved in the movie!
Conclusions
I really enjoyed The Silent Hour (2024). I wish more viewers would enjoy such a movie.
I’d say The Silent Hour (2024) shall be regarded as a classic and/or as a reference over time; many more other movies would inspire from and/or develop on top of the framework & pattern that it had just established / delivered.
I hope it receives some Academy Award nominations! It definitely deserves some!
