Perfect Horror

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2018)

One thing I don't like about most horror based films is that their plot is weak and they focus more on jump-scares. However, this is not the case for "A Quiet Place", where the story was original and compelling. Both me and my friend felt invested in each character. The young boy's fear was handled in an engaging way; I felt sorry for the character, rather than despising him as I did with the little girl from "War of Worlds".
The lack of dialogue helped to make the fear seem real; each jump-scare was more effective due to the film's consistent use of silence. Me and my friend agree that the only things that could have been added, and this is nitpicking, would be some more inclusion of the past and possibly other survivors. Other than that, the film was stunning and heart-breaking towards the end with the death of the father.
