Adler, although her demise is mentioned as yet another farm country tragedy. Adler’s dementia link is swiftly forgotten, nor do we ever learn what happened to Mrs. (Eventually we do learn, via flashback, how these folk all fit together, but it shouldn’t require this much work.) Val and Mr. Then her fury at Frank’s involvement might make us believe that Frank is her ex, except for the fact that Cody and his relationship is not that of father and son. Val’s obviously a single mom and initially her dropping Cody off with Junior might make one think Junior is her ex. Getting someone out of this situation is no easy task and we’re made privy to every consideration and step in the process.īut it takes forever to figure out the interpersonal relationships. Burnette does a great job building tension, Cody’s asthma adding urgency as Frank advises quick, shallow breaths so as not to allow his lungs to be crushed by the immense weight of the corn. While this phenomenon has been used (a death in “Witness”) and hinted at (the kids hiding in “A Quiet Place”) in movies before, “Silo’s” press materials claim the film to be the first on the subject (we learn in closing credit titles that since grain entrapment accidents began being tracked in 1964, 1200 have lost their lives this way, 20% of them teenaged boys).

Lucha’s screams for help alert Junior, whose 911 call is responded to first by the volunteer fire department.įrank (Jeremy Holm, "The Ranger") shuts up shop and jumps right into action, securing Cody with a sling so that he won’t sink deeper, but when the Fire Chief arrives, a heated difference of opinion as to how to proceed is not just professional, but personal. As Sutter and Cody stand inside, the height-phobic Lucha clinging to an interior ladder, Junior humors his dad outside about a ‘load for Stanley.’ Sutter disappears in an instant, swallowed by shifting corn, with Cody precariously close behind.
While his best friend Lucha (Danny Ramirez, "Assassination Nation") is trying to convince him that his latest recording is the real deal, Cody and Lucha are called by Sutter (James DeForest Parker, "The Mule") to help out in one of the 50 foot silos. This is the situation that will lead to tragedy, ironically because Val advises Junior to allow the old man to stay in the past.
#Silo movie full
Adler (Chris Ellis, "Apollo 13") believes his wife is still alive and Junior has his hands full trying to run a farm and keep an eye on the old man. Val, who appears to be a head nurse in a dementia ward, speaks to Junior Adler (Jim Parrack, 'True Blood's' Hoyt) about his dad when she drops off Cody. But while Burnette’s created a wide variety of characters in his rural New Hope, it takes the better part of the film to figure out how they are interrelated. The film’s a great procedural on the complications of a grain entrapment rescue, a delicate engineering process which can go south quickly.

After hearing a piece on grain entrapment on NPR, cowriter (with Jason Williamson)/director Marshall Burnette, who grew up in Tennessee farm country, envisioned a movie that would highlight this danger set amidst the type of rural folk he grew up with.
