In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.
Emily Blunt mentioned in interviews that she initially advised John Krasinski to cast her friend for the role of Evelyn Abbott. After reading the script (and loving it and the character), Blunt asked her husband to cast her instead. (The actress had not yet been hired anyway.)
Evelyn:
Where are they?
Lee Abbott:
I'll find them.
The film opens with the family entering a small grocery store, and we see that they are barefoot. Amazing how when they leave the store after shopping, their feet are still clean.
The main title appears after about nine minutes, created to look as though it is made from sand, and is the only on-screen credit aside from the opening production logos.
