From the office to one of the best thriller experiences in years

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2018)

A Quiet Place is an attempt from John Krasinski to direct an intense thriller
/horror. He is most well know for his role on the office. For someone to go from a comedic actor to a director of a thriller such as this is quite incredible.
The premise of the film is quite simple, these strange creatures kill you if you make sound, we the audience follow a family simply trying to survive where a simple sound like a whisper can get you killed.
A Quiet Place from start to finish never let up on the building of tension, from the beginning to the end. Now something i am usually not a fan of, jumps acres. Their definitely were a few, but they were so well timed and executed
t
In the very beginning we are introduced the element or lack of it that sound plays in the film. Sound is just as much of a character in this film as anyone else, the way John Krasinski uses it to build tension is incredible, seasoned directors of thrillers/horror could take a lesson from Krasinski in the way he manages to create an intense atmosphere out of silence and perfect cinematography, without proper dialogue revealing plot points can be a severely difficult challenge, but with his use of angles and camera motion he really doesn't have anything important go unnoticed that they really added and for me did not take away from the film.
Another huge element which made me love this film was the acting, I will start with director John Krasinski who also takes the lead alongside Emily Blunt.
Krasinski in this film gives an incredible performance, undoubtedly the performance of his career, he so convincingly portrays the role of a father who just wants to keep his family safe while also making their lives worth living. Emily Blunt does just the same but quite arguably better, her portrayal of a mother who just wants lives for her kids is incredible, her performance later in the film as she deals with issues i will not include is simply wonderful.
The list of incredible performances just continues to go on with this film, Millicent Simmonds who plays the deaf daughter in the film who is also deaf in real life gives a wonderful performance of a young girl living in this world who also happens to be deaf. For a young actress to play a role the way she did is amazing and i hope she continues with wonderful films such as this in her future career, and continuing with great performances i conclude with Noah Jupe who once again gives a great performance as he deals with his own fear of the world he lives in and how he must learn to survive in this cruel world.
The interactions between these characters are what build up the investment to the story and their survival in this cruel world.
There is more i would like to add but i don't want to drag on, A Quiet Place was one of the best films i have seen in recent years and i can highly recommend it.
