A Quiet Place

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2020)

Story - 5 out of 10
Original enough idea, however the entire premise and storyline is full of holes and inconsistencies.
For example how did the family set up the house in the way it is if you can't make a sound?
How are there any animals still alive if the monsters attack within seconds of a noise?
Etc etc
Acting/Characters - 4 out of 10
Emily Blunt does ok but the kids for me were a little on the annoying side and seemed strangely cast. No amazing performances here.
Cinematography/Costume - 5 out of 10
Nothing special here, just the necessary requirements to set the scene. I would have likes some more interesting angles involving the monsters as opposed to just a front on every time. Monsters also seemed quite unoriginal.
Soundtrack - 8 out of 10
Without doubt the highlight of the film. The use of sound is incredibly well done and is often more frightening than the actual monsters themselves.
Overall - 5 out of 10
