While A Quiet Place might have hit theaters first, The Silence is based on a Tim Lebbon book published in 2015, and The Silence was greenlighted in 2017, well before A Quiet Place came out. In response to comments on his website, Lebbon admitted the parallels are "a little troubling." "There are similarities, of course, but I'm confident that the movie of The Silence will stand on its own," he wrote. "It's going to be epic!"

The Silence brings its own star power with Stanley Tucci, Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto and John Corbett. It comes to Netflix on April 12th, and if you really want to compare the two films, you can always hop over to Prime Video, where you can rewatch A Quiet Place.
