Review of A Quiet Place (2018) by Brent_Marchant — 13 Apr 2018
Writer-actor-director John Krasinski's atmospheric sci-fi offering serves up a haunting, suspenseful tale that proves it's possible to make an effective horror film without worrying about how high the body count is.
Despite a few minor plot holes, the story is solid, inventive and skillfully executed, making stunning use of elements -- like sound and sound editing -- that typically don't get to play center stage in a film's finished product.
What's more, the picture's richly layered narrative is deftly punctuated with symbolism that carries deeper meanings, a quality rarely, if ever, seen in releases in this genre. Go see this one, and be prepared to have the crap scared out of you.
