At last--a scary movie, with bankable stars, that isn't a horny gore-fest.

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2018)

Many reviews mention that there are a few head-scratching implausibilities in this plot-line. That's true---but it's also true that the plots of even 'classic' thrillers contain momentary absences of logic. Despite its occasional unlikelihoods, "A Quiet Place" delivers. The settings and backgrounds----some of it was shot in atmospheric, upstate New York---enhance the realism and overall, it's a pretty neat little thriller. Under Krasinski's able direction, his crew and the small but talented cast perform their duties as required. There is a degree of violence, of course, but it's non-gratuitous and there's a refreshing lack of the unnecessary profanity and sexual imagery that is automatically injected into so many modern movie plots. Just pop some corn, settle back, and give it a watch.
