Brilliant in all elements

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2020)

John Krasinski's directorial debut A Quiet Place is an instant horror classic.
The film follows a young family as they try to survive in a society that is riddled with mysterious creatures. The creatures hunt using a super heightened sense of sound rendering the family practically mute.
The film is really quite captivating from the get with one of the most shocking openings to a film I've ever seen.
Real life couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski who star as the parents put on flawless performances. Blunt's strong motherly instincts are beautiful. Krasinski nails the performance of a father who will do anything for his family.
Millicent Simmonds, a real life deaf actress plays the role of the daughter in the film. Simmonds' performance is unbelievable, she will deserves universal acclaim. One must give Krasinski a nod for casting the young actress in a role that only someone with her disability would deserve.
Plot holes can be dug throughout the film but personally hasn't spoiled the film one bit for me.
With a sequel that as due to release in the April of 2020 you need to watch the first instalment sooner rater than later.
Krasinski has surely set the bar for horrors to follow since.
