Interesting premise

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2018)

I just finished seeing A Quiet Place in theaters. Wow, I must say I really enjoyed the movie. I actually had no plans to see the movie as I'm not a big fan of Jim from the Office, but the reviews were too good to pass up.
The movie has a simple end of the world monster story, but the way they chose to tell it was incredibly unique. Half of the movie has no dialogue and minimal sound. This really was an effective way to enhance the element of horror and suspense.
On top of that movie had quite a few genuinely terrifying moments. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout half the movie.
Despite the lack of dialogue, the movie made excellent use of sound. The sound or lack thereof, left a constant eerie feeling of dread throughout the movie that really made for a unique viewing experience.
Surprisingly the movie was very well made all around. John Krasinski really did a great job writing, directing, and starring in this movie. This is the first movie I have seen him in where I was actually impressed with his acting.
My only real criticism being there were a few moments that felt out of place and unrealistic. This of course did not detract from the movie though.
All around this movie was a surprise in a good way. It took a very basic concept and made a unique viewing experience all around. A 8.25 out 10.
