![]() ![]() The Silence ( full review at the Patreon) is riding on that wave of apocalyptic monster films ushered in by A Quiet Place and 10 Cloverfield Lane. This particular style of monster movie is odd in that if one is a hit, we’ll see another dozen (at least) come out hoping to hit the same trend. Films like The Blob, The Birds, Godzilla, and Creature from the Black Lagoon all played with the idea of an unstoppable force upending our lives and indiscriminately fighting against humanity. ![]() These films pop up throughout cinema history, but they certainly reached their apex of popularity (at least in America) in the 1950’s and 60’s. If you told me 10 years ago we would be seeing a renaissance of the unstoppable, inexplicable, world-ending monster genre, I wouldn’t have believed you. ![]()
