The silence is deafening

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2018)

To start off I would like to say this movie was a gripping, unique and intense thriller that I enjoyed immensely. I saw this in the theater which makes for an even more interesting experience to say the least.
If you have ever wanted to be simultaneously extremely self conscious of every creek, groan, cough, nose whistle you yourself make and at the same time equally bothered by every candy wrapper, popcorn bag and loud chewer in the theater, then this is the movie for you. If you haven't seen the movie you may not know why I say this but (SPOILER ALERT) there is almost zero dialogue and limited sound of any kind for the first 40 minutes or so. Seeing this with an audience really does make this an interesting dynamic and adds to the suspense in my opinion.
A Quiet Place is not earth shattering in its premise and actually bears many similarities with 2015's Hidden, however I do think this movie outshines that one on many levels. There is far more intensity to this version and the silence only adds to the feeling of dread and terror.
9/10 stars and I would recommend seeing this in the theater if at all possible. Choose your snacks wisely and get all of your coughs and sneezes out of the way before you go into the theater, you don't want to be that guy in this movie....trust me!
