The Silencing

It stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Annabelle Wallis, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zahn McClarnon, and Melanie Scrofano.

The sanctuary is an act of penance, both because Gwen disapproved of his trapper lifestyle and because she had disappeared from his car five years earlier while he went into a store to buy whiskey.

After returning home and stitching his wound, he reviews his surveillance footage and observes a girl being hunted in the sanctuary by the same man.

Rayburn returns to the sanctuary and rescues the girl, Molly, then keeps her safe in an unused spike trap overnight.

He flees to the home of his former wife, Debbie, and her husband, Karl Blackhawk, Sheriff of the local Indian tribal police.

Rayburn decides to clean up and throw out his liquor, except for the still unopened bottle he bought on the day Gwen had gone missing.

After breaking into a house, he finds the same weapons and clothes worn by the killer, along with a trove of "missing" posters, including one for his daughter.

After finding a still-living girl under a sheet with her throat surgically cut open, the killer appears and captures Rayburn by knocking him unconscious.

While waiting for him in his office, she sees a photo of the doctor with his daughter Melissa wearing a necklace with the initials "MB".

In May 2018, it was announced Nikolaj Coster-Waldau had joined the cast of the film, with Anders Engstom directing from a screenplay by Micah Ranum.

The site's critics consensus reads: "The Silencing mistakes mood for character development, leading to an undercooked mystery that fails to generate much interest.
