Will stop your heart

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2018)

A QUIET PLACE is a silent scream for help: all of the characters, besides being plagued by earth-dwelling aliens, face hardships unique to their roles in the family. The oldest sister blames herself for a family tragedy. The mother guilts herself for bringing a new life into their chaotic world. The father feels that he is an inadequate provider. Tie all of these emotions, family relationships, and personal struggles into an apocalyptic world where no one can vocalize their fears and feelings without being targeted by monsters and you have one hell of a movie! This movie defies genres and will appeal to a wide, albeit patient (the tension builds slowly between scenes), audience. Bravo to John Krasinski who demonstrates major acting and directing chops in his debut film.
