A Quiet Place is why we love scary movies!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2018)

This wonderful film maxes out on audience engagement. The dialogue is mostly unspoken: forcing audiences to pay more attention to the acting, hand-signing, sound design and subtitles. We connect to the characters immediately without the usual interference of dialogue. The threats are usually off-screen or kept in the background out-of-focal range, and that demands audience imagination. With so much deprivation of information, the audience is required to invest a lot of themselves into discovering the story, and that's when the director has you where he wants you. A genre film with no gore, little blood, minimal computer graphics, and no bad language, A Quiet Place proves to be the best of its kind.
