A Quiet Place, making a lot of noise in the industry

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2019)

John Krasinski's A Quiet Place, a film where you can literally hear a pin drop, came out in 2018 and took the world by storm. In the wake of an apocalyptic world, a family learns to live in silence while hiding from monsters that thrive off of sound. The family is learning how to more than just survive in this new world.
The entire film keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, with their hairs standing on their very edge. In a world where silence is important, sometimes that same silence would drive someone crazy.
The film left me wondering what it would be like in a situation like that, being force to virtually deprive yourself of a sense, for survival.
The story was amazing, giving so many different layers to each part of the characters, and though the dialogue was few and far between, the words that were said were very impactful.
With seasoned actors like Krasinski and Blunt, you would think that they would steal the show, but the two children, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, took the film. The interacts between the two seemed so genuine as bother and sister.
Krasinski was in front and behind the camera, as the director. He did a great job with showing so much and giving so much life to a quiet and virtually lifeless one.
The film would definitely fall in the genre of thriller/horror, while changing what the genre means in a positive way.
