If Alfred Hitchcock had done a monster movie.

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2018)

A Quiet Place is an incredible film and is one of the best thrillers/horror films I've seen in a very long time. Krasinski hits the nail on the head with excellent direction, phenomenal sound design, and a constant presence of suspense and unknown terror. His characters are real and dynamic. Each with their own do's and don't's of this brave new world. One of the scariest things about the film is the knowledge that if one sound is made, it could be the end of your life. Blunt's performance was intense, and sympathetic. A mom who perseveres through death and life. Krasinski himself was a masterclass in fatherhood. A father who has to both protect and teach his children in a silent world. Think about something for me. What would you do in his situation? One of the standout performances however was Millicent Simmonds. Being actually deaf in real life, Her performance adds an authenticity and a genuineness to the role of being in a silent world. Overall, this film is original, suspenseful, and definitely one I want to see again. It is my hope that Krasinski makes more film like this. When you see this, be as quiet as possible, you may never know what's really behind you.
