Fantastic movie with much emotion!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2018)

In the movie "A Quiet Place", writer/director John Krasinski shows how a simple, but unique idea can become a gripping, clever, and horrifying movie.
The story begins with the Abbott family in their deserted town filled with rubble. At this moment, the whole family is speaking in sign language. We, the audience, do not know why this is happening. The youngest child Beau Abbott (Cade Woodward), finds a toy rocket and wishes to play with it. His father (John Krasinski) tells him to put the toy down. In the next scene, the child uses the toy and it is loud. Immediately the father starts to rush towards him, and right before Lee can grab Beau, Beau is taken by a monster. We are introduced to the antagonist which is the monster with amplified hearing. The camera work in this movie is exquisite. The camera angles in the first part of the movie made it look like Lee Abbott is racing against something even though we do not know what he is racing against. The movie is in the perspective of the Abbott family, which is shown by their actions, but even though the language is told in sign language, the language is still very powerful. Towards the end of the movie, Lee Abbott sign languages to Regan Abbott (Millicent Simmons) that he has always loved her. The monster was about to kill Regan, so Lee sacrificed himself to save Regan. He told her that because they wrangled because Lee decreed that Regan had to take care of Evelyn. The expression on John Krasinski's face tells the audience that something is going to happen to the father. John Krasinski and Millicent Simmons's expressions really made the scene a powerful and emotional one that would bring anyone to tears even though there is not even any speaking in the scene. There was a perfect choice of wording in this scene and the rest of the movie which helped to make the movie both more horrifying, and at the right points upsetting.
John Krasinski was able to make the perfect setting for the movie because they are in a deserted town with no one to help them, which makes the movie scarier since they are on their own. The horror is intensified when the mother, Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt), is in labor and a horrifying soundtrack starts to play. The horrifying soundtrack is called "It Hears You" by Marco Beltrami, and it gives us the idea that the monster is going to attack. The soundtrack makes a nail-biting scene because Evelyn does not know that the monster is on the other side of the wall. The whole family had to collaborate to save Evelyn. The ending of the movie is amazing because of how emotional it is. After the father sacrifices himself to save his daughter, the daughter finds her mother and her new baby brother. Very soon after, the monster attacks the family and that is the moment when they realize that the sound from the daughter's hearing aid hurts the monster since he has amplified hearing, so the mother uses the sound from a gun to kill the monster because of how loud the shot is.
All in all, the movie was fantastic, emotional, and terrifying. All the elements of horror merge together perfectly to create the perfect horror movie. The movie had me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next and holding tears back from the heart-warming events. This was an amazing movie for everyone, not just horror lovers.
