The Quiet (2005)
5/10
Disappointing
5 April 2008
I was hoping for a Gothic-style horror flick, based on the title, but THE QUIET turned out to be yet another examination of the effects of a father-daughter's sexual relationship in -- where else? --- white-bread Connecticut. Cuthbert gives it her all as the sexually abused minor. The very fetching Camilla Bell plays Cuthbert's cousin, supposedly a deaf-mute, come to live with her. Cuthbert's parents are Edie Falco from THE SOPRANOS, who does a credible job in this one, and Martin Donovan, as Cuthbert's abusive dad. Some effective dream sequences, but the film is a letdown. It goes nowhere, and the ending is all too predictable.
