Shh! The thrills are real...

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2019)

There are not many movies out there that can get the audience to feel a sympathy for, or to root from deep inside their hearts, or to care about whatever happens to that character or family in that story. This movie does & does so very easily. How? By forcing the audience directly into their world.
Even though the amount of dialogue spoken is very less (duh!), you'll still start to care for them. Why? Simply because of the plot execution. And the characters. In the high noise world that we live in, the vision of how to *survive* in a world where even the slightest mechanical hum turns heads (or does it?) feels claustrophobic at first. The sign languages is making something out to be. But you don't understand it. That's creating a tension now. It's frustrating. That's how this movie excels. It forces you to put yourself in that situation & makes you guess what's gonna happen. But most of those guesses don't work out as this movie reveals it's twists & turns along it's length.
Sure, this movie doesn't reinvent something. Sure, you don't know how this world came to be. Sure, you don't even know what those monsters are. But do you need to? No. It's designed to be open ended & it ends keeping that symmetry up.
A Quiet Place is about love. It's about love that binds a family together. It's about responsibilities that amplifies the power of love to do whatever necessary to protect our loved ones at any cost. It's about how our parents appear strong & happy in front of us, even in their worst of times. It's about not giving in to despair even when life kicks in the guts & the balls. You never know...
John Krasinki & Emily Blunt just straight up nailed it with their acting. This movie is one of the best thrillers (horror? Not really.) sandwiched together with a horrifying & cruel world.
Overall, it's an awesome experience to be had.
