If you loved Annabelle, try The Silence

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Silence has roughly 3.9× fewer votes than Annabelle — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John R. Leonetti, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Annabelle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Silence is

Rural farmhouse, summer, creaking wooden floor. A family flees the city, a teenage girl signs to her parents, silence is survival. This tense thriller is best watched with headphones off.
