Just finished watching this. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was believable and some stunning scenery. However:
1. Doctor is the killer after his daughter was killed by a drunk driver and left to die in the woods. So he takes vengeance by killing similar age girls?! Really?!
2. They have their vocal chords surgically removed (why this doesn't automatically lead the authorities to start investigating medical professionals, I'll never know) but there is literally no explanation for it. No reasoning. You'd think given that the film is titled "The Silencing", there would at least be SOME form of link.
3. The killer fights with the protagonist, knocks him out, attempts to kill the girl by spearing her through the stomach, only for the sheriff to arrive, think that the killer is her brother so shoots the protagonist. Then NOTHING happens to her. At all. Ever. Even if the main guys does drop all the charges later on, there is still a decent amount of time up to that where she's still on active duty like nothing happened.
Found myself skipping through parts to save myself the frustration.
Overall good potential and beautiful scenery, but let down severely by lazy writing.
