This flick pictures an America with NO "Freedom of Speech" . . .

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2018)

. . . as apparently government-engineered toothy cyborgs with giant ears roam the country, swift to shred anyone foolish enough to utter a single syllable. A QUIET PLACE begins about three months into this Gooper Reign of Terror, after around 99% of We Non-Bunkered Loyal Patriotic Normal Progressive Union Label citizens already have been slain. While the Fat Cat One Per Centers are hunkering down, swilling their champagne and caviar deep underground, A QUIET PLACE examines a year in the life of a heavily-armed looter family. These rural "core supporters" (that is, duped pawns) of the Current Corrupt Regime divide their time between shoplifting, fishing, and making babies. Despite their best efforts, they wind up one kid and one parent short. (The climax of A QUIET PLACE implies that this clan will fill these gaps "The Southern Way," about which you may satisfy your curiosity by rereading the Old Testament account of Lot and His Daughters.) If you want to learn more about America's near future, when "They" begin "culling the herd" (after all, Rigged Elections have consequences, too), check out A QUIET PLACE. (Do it while you can still dial up the volume, because in Future Space there will be no one left to hear you scream!)
