Incredible and a movie for the ages

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2018)

This movie was like "Signs" amplified times a million.
So perfect. So suspenseful. So emotionally driven.
Puts a whole new angle on the horror genre in general.
Beautiful collaboration between one of my favorite couples, only second to the fiction based romance that is Jim and Pam.
John Krasinski and his equally talented wife, Emily Blunt have long awaited the "right film" to costar alongside each other for the first time, and it's easy to see why they unanimously decided on "A Quiet Place".
It will not only have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish (seriously, there is not one second that feels prolonged or in need of action), but it will have you leaving the theater wanting to text your family and let them know how much you love them.
Beautifully directed by John, he and Emily also star as on-screen parents, which is not only a true testament and visual depiction of their real life romance, but also of how adamantly they love their children and will protect them at any cost.
John has described this film as a "love letter to his children" and plot aside, it is the most authentic I've ever seen two actors perform in the longest time.
Every kiss, every tear, every look of horrific fright upon their faces, and the undying need to save their family is mirrored in John and Emily's eyes.
Both actors have confessed how difficult this film was because it hit so close to home. With Emily explaining that she prefers to take on roles that are very different from her own persona, this film challenged her because it was so real.
Likewise, John expressed his fears in taking on a film with almost no dialogue and he worried how it would be received by audiences and critics alike.
With standing ovations, a 98% rotten tomato score, and his wife being so proud and supportive, it's heart-warming to see John step out of his comfort zone and succeed.
I absolutely would not have taken the time to write this "review" if I did not think it was a movie for the ages and a risky script to tackle that was done flawlessly and paid off extremely well for both the cast/crew, as well as audience goers everywhere.
If you like "horror" movies that aren't riddled with crazy plots, tons of gore, and paranormal craziness, this movie will make you think, feel, and keep your heart racing without compromising the film's integrity.
Basically, 10/10. Would recommend.
