Good premise (although quite similar to _A Quiet Place_ which was done much better) but seriously, if you're going to make a movie where the main protagonist is supposed to be deaf girl, why not find an actual deaf person to play the part? Or at the very least, find someone who knows **how** to play a deaf person. This movie was complete nonsense; one minute she's signing to her friends and family, yet when they sign back, she answers in perfect English. I have never, ever met a deaf person who, when they spoke, spoke with a clear, articulate voice. Yet this girl was supposed to be completely deaf but conversed in clear, ungarbled language with her family and her boyfriend (via iPad). Made absolutely no sense, and was a great detraction from what could have been a decent movie. Because of that glaring issue, there is no way I can give this anything better than a "4". The acting was average - definitely nothing to write home about - and the "strange cult" that gets mentioned in the synopsis gets about 15 minutes worth of screen/story time. It just muddled the story, IMO. Overall, this was kind of like a strange, mixed-up concoction of _A Quiet Place_ and _28 Days Later_ ...where they wanted the females just to breed and repopulate the world. Some have mentioned the weird ending but for a movie like this, I don't know what they could have done differently; the ending made as much sense as anything else could have. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone; too many issues, too many similarities to other films, and nothing worth sitting through 90+ minutes for.

@hubes-0a31c592-8851-4ddf-8e72-a7a20966824a The girl wasn't born deaf, she said at the beginning of the movie that she gradually became deaf... that made me give it a pass on that aspect, but you're right it could have been done better.
