In honor of “The Silencing” arriving in select theaters and VOD later this month, we’re happy to offer our readers an exclusive clip from the thriller that stars “Game of Thrones” alum Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and “Peaky Blinders” star Annabelle Wallis. The film follows the story of a killer that seems to be using his hunting skills to stalk teenage girls in the forest, murdering them for sport. This leads a father (Coster-Waldau) to begin to question whether or not this man might be responsible for the disappearance of his daughter five years ago. His hunch leads him on a collision course with the new Sheriff (Wallis), and their relationship is far from chummy, as seen in the clip.
