Not exactly innovative, but very enjoyable

Rating: 6/10 (30 August 2018)

Let's get one thing clear - aliens killing people and relying on some highly superior sense to hunt them down. Not a unique idea, but in this film it's already established how the alien lifeform can detect humans and now the few survivors around the world are trying to keep on living and staying alive.
So it's kind of a mix of survival horror and an alien invasion, but mostly of how the survivors adapt to their life of hiding and still trying to live through the day. It's enjoyable and eerie to watch, since the rule here is simple; keep quiet. So, instead of seeing people crouching inside small, narrow hiding places, we get to see them walking in a broad daylight.
The film is also well directed and shot, Emily Blunt is great as always (it's really nice to see her more and more as a leading actress these days) and the story - well, it's not anything I've never seen before, but it's okay. The ending is a bit of a letdown (mostly because I could tell how it was going to end from maybe after 30 minutes from the start) but it wasn't enough to make me feel cheated.
And since horror is probably one of the hardest genres to make films of, A Quiet Place does a good job of keeping you hooked 'till the end. Maybe not the greatest horror movie there is, but definitely something I'd recommend.
