Major Let-Down

Rating: 2/10 (23 April 2018)

I had high hopes for "A Quiet Place" after reading so many positive reviews, but this movie turned out to be a huge disappointment. As in many horror films, the plot is full of logical issues and it revolves around one-dimensional characters who make ridiculously poor decisions. But the unforgivable shortcoming of this movie is that it's simply boring. The concept of staying quiet/still in order to survive worked very well in movies like "The Descent" and even horror-comedy "Tremors," but it just wasn't well executed in "A Quiet Place." This movie had the potential to be really tense, but it felt more like the filmmakers were trying to put me to sleep.
