A Quiet Place Review:
A Quiet Place is a horror movie where there are aliens on earth. People have to stay super quiet otherwise the aliens will be able to hear them and hunt them down. The first time I saw the trailer for the movie was when I saw Three Billboards. I didn't know what to think but I was interested in it. This was a pretty good movie. Such an original story! The director of the movie is John Krasinski. He also produced and starred in the leading role. He did such a great job with directing this film. Since he knew everything he wanted in it, his acting was fantastic. Emily Blunt did one of her best performances in a few years. Millicent Simmonds also did a great job. The story reminded me of a Cloverfield movie, which it was originally supposed to be, and the movie Signs. It was horror but a drama about a family and what they're going through. Those are my favorite kinds of horror movies. Since this movie was mainly silent, it was extremely tense and I was on the edge of my seat for almost the whole movie. There were some effective jump scares, which I like. But there were also some false jump scares which I don't think are necessary in movies. The score for the movie was pretty good too. It was a mixture of intense and nice sounding. The design of the aliens was great! It was very unique. The only flaw I really had, other than the fake jump scares, was that some things didn't make sense. For example, in one of the first shots of the movie it shows power lines down, yet they had electricity. They couldn't of had a generator because they are too loud. I don't know but I bothered me. Also there were a couple dumb choices made which I thought the characters would be smarter. That's it for flaws. I enjoyed A Quiet Place and I think it's one of the best horror movies we've had in recent years.
My Grade: A-
