      Anyone seen this film yet? Hearing and sound are the themes. The creatures use complex ear like organs to map and locate, it reminded me of how a lot of sufferers with sudden unilateral loss have problems with way-finding and crossing the road in traffic etc, it's a nice look at how important sound is for us to perceive our environment.

      Warning: there are screeching scenes in the film.

      I have heard the movie is very quiet, like moviegoers are getting annoyed by fellow patrons eating popcorn too loud.

      If I liked scary movies, I would want to see it in a theater. It’d be nice to see a movie in a theater and not worry about the volume.

      How bad is the screeching at the end of the film?

      I love horror movies and this movie I have been thinking of going to the cinema to watch, because it is supposed to be very quiet.

      From what I’ve read, there is a high pitch sound at the end of the movie. If you’re ready with ear protection at the end, it sounds like this could be a good quiet movie to see in a theater.

      Yes, I would make sure to have ear protection at hand.

      But I don't know if I dare to go, the thought still scares me so..... :(

      The characters communicate with sign language and whispering, so overall it has to be very quiet versus any other movie.

      For me, that's the part that makes this a horror movie.

      I went to see this film on Saturday night, enjoyed it, a lot. I like your analysis about the film, I never thought of it like that. I preferred the second half of the film more than the 1st but I would recommend the film to anybody who likes thrillers/horrors.

      There is another information sampling technique that we overlook. It's all information.
