Review of A Quiet Place (2018) by A.a. Dowd for The A.V. Club — 03 Apr 2018
Horror movies often play with the contrast between deathly silence and deafening cacophony, one puncturing the other to shred nerves and send asses out of seats. A Quiet Place takes that strategy to a new extreme, engulfing characters and viewers alike in an eerie sustained hush, and then generating anxiety about how and when it will suddenly be shattered.
It turns sound itself, cinema’s first invader, into a threat.
