Imagine a modern noir film set in the suburbs. There's tons of room for play and that is exactly what Silent as the Grave does. When aspiring documentary filmmaker Chris is hired by a femme fatale (his mother) to investigate a cold case involving the murder of his uncle decades earlier, she sees a potential new project full of conspiracies, cover-ups, and secrets. He has only one clue to start out from, who has been leaving flowers at his uncle's grave all these years and why? It's ironic that his most recent documentary covered the history of noir filmmaking. If only he could recognize he's in a hardboiled whodunit of his own, maybe he could foresee some of the tropes waiting for him right around the corner. We've got some good acting here, cinematography is a notch above most of the low budget competitors which brings you into the story quickly. And, as expected, there are lots of reveals along the way that will keep the one interesting for you until the last moments.

Silent as the grave is a thriller that focuses on a filmmaker with a mission. When he learns a mysterious person is leaving flowers at the gravesite of one of his relatives, he faces tremedous roadblocks and threats to complete his project. Someone doesn't want the story exposed. The film showcases the turmoil of trying to discover who holds the keys to the secrets. The main character, Chris, has his world turned upside down when he chases clues to resolve the mystery. The film is a slow-burning endeavor, requiring the audience to watch for clues, gestures, and subtle pieces of information to find those involved in the coverup. There's a lot of mystery and intrigue in the story and a cost of family and safety Chris risks. A well-done mystery.

I enjoy discovering new, truly independent productions, often hit or miss, Silent as the Grave is a major hit. A simple well-made film, classy, with fine directing, acting. Michael Kunicki is an outstanding lead for this film, a Hitchcockian hero. The directors Messrs. Gremley and Podowski give the material an old school thriller, mystery feel to it, film noir. The Christmas theme throughout is a nice touch, contrary to the scenes unfolding, kept my interest throughout. Nice twists and turns, wonderfully not predictable. The fact this is based on a true, personal story makes it all the more remarkable. My hat's off to all involved!

Silent as the Grave is a rich and complicated mystery/drama. It feels rare to find a modern day movie in the mystery genre that is so well plotted out and executed. A documentary filmmaker investigates his uncle's mysterious death, but falls into a world of danger, threats, uncertainty, and secrets. There isn't so much documentary filmmaking being done by the main character, rather the story focuses on his detective work in trying to solve the mystery. This movie will truly keep you on the edge of your seat and it will keep you guessing. The writing and direction were great, along with an interesting score.

Silent as the Grave is a story about a guy that is faced with making some very difficult decisions that would put his entire family in serious jeopardy. This is a "who done it" with a twist. A simple question of "Who's putting flowers on a headstone" results into a nightmare for a filmmaker who is torn between finding out the truth verses putting his own life in danger. Is he really willing to risk it all ? A loving wife, a new baby, all to exposed the truth about something that happened decades ago? The film is full of suspense and the acting is superb. The film was shot locally (in Chicago) so it gives a real authenticity to the storyline. The camera work and editing is of the highest quality and the storyline is designed to provide the viewer with a very entertaining mystery.

Ah, my fellow travelers, gather 'round, for I've got a tale to spin-a tale of mystery, shrouded in shadows and drenched in the essence of life's enigmas. They call it 'Silent as the Grave,' a flick that'll leave you haunted, pondering the secrets that lie beneath our human façades. Now, picture this: Chris, the man with the camera, a soul consumed by an obsession to unravel the truth behind his kin's dark legacy. He's a doc filmmaker on a mission, guided by the ghosts of his past. His Uncle Edgar's demise, a freight elevator accident-seems simple, right? But alas, appearances deceive, my friends. Flowers on the tombstone, year after year, whisper secrets that send shivers down spines. Oh, the atmosphere, my dear readers! It's crafted with a mastery that sucks you into a vortex of unease. Shadows dance, sounds murmur in the background, keeping you on your toes, breathless, anticipating the next revelation. And what of the characters, you ask? Each one a puzzle piece, with motives hidden deep, ready to surprise and confound. The protagonist, a documentary filmmaker embodies an unyielding quest for truth-a man on fire, a phoenix rising from the ashes of family secrets. It's the pacing, my friends, that keeps you hooked! A symphony of suspense and emotion, a dance between investigative frenzy and heart-wrenching revelations. As we journey, we're lured into a labyrinth of familial bonds, complex and fragile, crafted with poetic finesse. But above all, it's the questions that permeate the air-questions that worm their way into the very core of existence. The truth, elusive like a sly cat, keeps us yearning for resolution, just as the beat of a jazz saxophone lures us into the night. As the plot unfolds, tension builds like a jazz crescendo, holding us in its sway until the grand finale. And when the truth, like a sacred mantra, is finally revealed, it's a symphony of justice, a cathartic release, leaving us breathless, yearning for more. So, my dear kindred spirits, if you crave a journey that stirs your soul, "Silent as the Grave" beckons with a siren's call. Grab your popcorn, buckle up, and let yourself be lost in the maze of mystery and redemption-a film that Jack Kerouac himself would've journeyed miles to behold!"

I've long been a fan of film noir and just recently finished reading Eddie Muller's "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir." So when I saw the trailer for this neo-noir-esqe crime story, I just had to take a look. And I'm so glad I did. Silent as the Grave is about a documentary filmmaker with his own love of film noir. And his curiosity about a family mystery soon leads him into a real life crime story of his own. I won't spoil the plot, but it's fair to say as the mystery grows, so does the filmmakers sense of peril. This was a delicious crime-drama. And you don't have to be a noir fan like me to enjoy it. If you like a good, involving mystery with some dark family secrets, you'll get into this movie. I absolutely recommend it.

I enjoyed this film which is a family suspense drama based on true family stories. That's what hooked me and it's a slow build up to the conclusion but worth it although I had a feeling about who the "bad guy" was from their introduction. The lead actor is good as he uncovers family secrets but the supporting characters could have been developed more. I liked the cinematography and the overall look of the film, much more professional than other independent films of this genre. Editing could have been a little snappier to bring out the suspense but the noir-ish score is top notch and surprisingly jazzy in parts, which I loved.
