Audrey W @RT19585899 07/24/2024 Good looking cast, well shot, another Indie Rights classic. Delivers stronger than most indy's I've seen lately. Intense drama and I particularly liked the graphics they used in titles etc. See more Joe C @RT60686465 02/12/2024 I liked watching the unfolding of this captivating story, which had moments of suspense. It's fascinating that it's based on a true story. Besides the detective-like plot, the film also had a heartwarming aspect with good family dynamics. The acting performances were enjoyable, and I particularly liked the actress who played Barb.

See more Rick I @RT72302199 10/11/2023 Fun update of an older genre Imagine a modern noir film set in the suburbs. There's tons of room for play and that is exactly what Silent as the Grave does. When aspiring documentary filmmaker Chris is hired by a femme fatale (his mother) to investigate a cold case involving the murder of his uncle decades earlier, she sees a potential new project full of conspiracies, cover-ups, and secrets. He has only one clue to start out from, who has been leaving flowers at his uncle's grave all these years and why? It's ironic that his most recent documentary covered the history of noir filmmaking. If only he could recognize he's in a hardboiled whodunit of his own, maybe he could foresee some of the tropes waiting for him right around the corner. We've got some good acting here, cinematography is a notch above most of the low budget competitors which brings you into the story quickly. And, as expected, there are lots of reveals along the way that will keep the one interesting for you until the last moments.

The twists and turns are nicely done and the revelation is quite unexpected. If you like mystery, then this is one to check out. https://worldfilmgeek.com/2023/08/21/silent-as-the-grave-usa-2023/ See more Doggie Dream Productions @RT81756109 10/10/2023 I've long been a fan of film noir and just recently finished reading Eddie Muller's "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir." So when I saw the trailer for this neo-noir-esqe crime story, I just had to take a look. And I'm so glad I did. Silent as the Grave is about a documentary filmmaker with his own love of film noir. And his curiosity about a family mystery soon leads him into a real life crime story of his own. I won't spoil the plot, but it's fair to say as the mystery grows, so does the filmmaker's sense of peril. This was a delicious crime-drama. And you don't have to be a noir fan like me to enjoy it. If you like a good, involving mystery with some dark family secrets, you'll get into this movie. I absolutely recommend it. See more Read all reviews
