Nothing about this movie make sense - Avoid it

Rating: 3/10 (8 April 2018)

Warning: Lots of spoilers ahead.
This is a very bad movie. Nothing about A Quiet Place makes any sense and it's paced so slowly that - even at only 95 minutes - you'll have plenty of time to ponder why it doesn't make sense.
The movie is set in the near post-apocalyptic future after an alien invasion decimates the population. (Think Walking Dead with aliens instead of zombies.) The aliens are blind but have very sensitive hearing, along with a proclivity to kill anything that makes the slightest noise.
The movie stars Emily Blunt and her real-life husband John Krasinski, who also wrote, directed and probably catered the movie. They and their three children, oops, two children, wait, three children live on a farm. The early part of the movie feels like an old documentary demonstrating how life changes when you can't make the slightest sound. Still, life's pretty good and they've built a sand-covered path - MILES long - so they can wander into a nearby deserted town from time to time. (Where did they get all that sand?)
Time passes, and Emily Bluet is now pregnant. And the movie starts to unravel. Why would you bring a baby - which are known to make loud random noises - into a world full of aliens that instantly kill things that make random loud noises? And, we know the couple had options since we saw them raiding a drug store in the movie's opening scene.
The good news is that they have thought about the noise problem, as they've built a soundproof, pitch-black box, complete with an oxygen mask, in which they plan to keep the baby. (?)
Up until the baby comes along, they've lived in a home where they can make NO noise at all. Which is a real strain on however many kids are currently around. It's then revealed that they've constructed a large soundproof room in which they plan to keep the baby. Gee, couldn't they occasionally visit that room so that the kids could talk, laugh, etc.
(Major spoilers)
Just as the baby is about to arrive, Emily Blunt steps on a very large sharp nail (it's never clear exactly how this very large, very sharp nail suddenly appeared on a stairway that's in constant use) and the noise attracts some aliens. Much action, most of which makes little sense, ensues.
At some point, however, it turns out that the aliens' acute hearing makes them overly sensitive to high-frequency sounds, so the movie ends with the family realizing that they - or at least the ones that are still alive - can live happily ever after if they just play high-pitched sounds to drive the aliens away. (Kind of like killing the Martians in Mars Attacks by playing Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call.")
At this point, we're asked to believe that NO ONE else figured that out. The house if full of newspaper clippings chronicling the invasion. The invasion clearly took some time, but no one in government, academia, or the local Radio Shack store thought about that?
Avoid this one.
