A family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.

In a devastated Earth overrun by invincible predators of a possible extraterrestrial origin, the Abbotts are struggling to survive in the desolate urban jungle of New York City: a death trap defined by a new era of utter silence. Indeed, as noise attracts this new type of invader, even the slightest of sounds can be deadly. However, even though it’s already been twelve months since the powerful monsters’ first sightings, the resilient Abbott family still stands strong. In this muted dystopia, learning the rules of survival is crucial. And now, more than ever, the Abbotts must not make a sound. —Nick Riganas (IMDb)

I have chosen to make sound for this film from several reasons. 1) I like sci-fi movies with haunting eerie atmosphere 2) Considering the narration of the film, there is a lot of potential on creating tension with the silence and creative use of sound effects to play with psychoacoustics with not necessarily having a loud sounds or any sound at all – for example the phaser – it can create sense of presence and movement without actually hearing it.
