Silencio

I think this movie is so good because it before nobody ever take the time to do something like a movie or drama about it, everything was documentaries and things about paranormal activity, and @dmggtz is so right the film was done in San Pedro Garza Garcia in Nuevo León México, and some places in Coahuila Mexico, almost all the world need to know that Mexico City is not the only city in the country with that kind of places, and is based on a mystic and misterious place where weird things usually happen to cars, technology and machines in a highway and desert between Coahuila and Durango estates.

I really enjoyed watching this film you need to be engaged in it from the beginning if it will be hard to get into.

Terrible storyline, bad directing and made even worse by the poor acting of the lead actress Melina Matthews. Why does she keep whispering even in scenes where she was supposed to be extremely furious? Pretty face, though.

At first I was a bit confused but stuck with it. I thought all the actors were quite good and the storyline was really decent. I'm not a sci-fi fan but thought this was pretty believable. To watch. The switching back and forth to Spanish / English wasn't really an issue for me. I do think it would have been easier if it was all in English though. The twist towards the end was surprising. That stone holds so much power and everyone wants it. These people ell their stories why they want it and need it. If you're a patient person then why not give it a try and watch it. I do recommend it. A nice slow easy movie to view.

The story is a blend of psuedo-scifi thriller and crime drama based melancholy. At first glance I was eager to check this one out, knowing that John Noble was apart of the cast. Been a fan since season one of Fringe. However, this film practical keeps him in queue, with limited character development and weak writing. It is a shame really because with the right development, Noble could have brought his character to life, and helped vitalize the story. Same with others, several familiar actors both recognizable and talented.

The concept is a great scenario with its blend of human nature and tragedy, showing a very relatable balance between conflict and resolution set upon the backdrop of near supernatural circumstance. Unfortunately there is so much about the plot that is confusing, muddling the dramatic tendencies with questionable science fiction that raises more eyebrows than excitement. Even with the actors' committment to the project "Silencio" fails to ever pull you into the intended thriller elements.

There isn't a lot happening as far as special effects. Most of the sci-fi aspects take place in the opening scenes with quick bursts of CGI. Beyond that the film relies mostly on monochromatic atmosphere both dark and moody. Situational moments and dialog are meant to solidify the breadth of science fiction stuff with slow paced drama and some crime thriller thrown in. Overall "Silencio" never really catches enough energy to be thrilling and the writing and tempo create a sedated experience. Which is sad because the idea and the cast were great enough to elevate the story's potential.
