Review of A Quiet Place (2018) by Tryasummersault — 05 Apr 2018

9.6/10 A new age creature feature/Alien invasion horror drama that excels on nearly all levels. This has everything horror films need to have. A Quiet Place induces terrifying amounts of authentic tension and insane suspense, while visually horrifying the viewers through subtleties of atmosphere and brutally relentless imagery.

The focus on sound is masterfully utilized and brought out the absolute best in the amazing cast through their emotionally brilliant acting. The unique creature design is THE best I’ve seen in a decade, and they are truly grotesquely magnificently portrayed with legitimately realistic cgi.

I was afraid they wouldn’t show them that much in the film, but they were prevalent and pulverizing in every frame they were in. In the end it does end pretty abruptly and you don’t really get origins or explanations regarding the alien creatures but that’s really my only nitpick.

This is truly a new horror classic to behold and Krasinki is now at the forefront of great new directors and will be one to watch with his future ventures with his keen eye for detail and suspense. If you want to see an actually scary and intense ride, you have to see this film.
