Best horror film you will ever see

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2018)

I just want to start off by saying that I don't rate films lightly. I have rated 118 films on Imdb and A Quiet Place was only the 6th film I gave a full 10/10. Seriously I am still in disbelief at how phenomenal this movie was!
Right from the beginning you are dropped into the post-apocalyptic world and straight away you can feel the tension creeping up your spine. And for the next hour and a half, that tension does not decrease in the slightest.
John Krasinski is such an unpredicted marvel in the film directing field, nobody would have expected a comedy actor from The Office to write and direct this incredible movie. When watching the film, you can notice he tried to find a way to make every single minuscule thing as quiet as possible. There is a scene where two children are playing Monopoly, and instead of the plastic houses and hotels, they use red and green cotton balls to minimise sound, they pour salt down on the floors to make as little sound as possible when walking. It's just mind blowing how genius it is.
Throughout the film I kept saying to myself, "I'm giving this a 9 so far" because that's what I felt like the film deserved. However, the way they executed the fathers death scene was one of the most emotional pieces of media I have ever witnessed. The way that 90% of the film is quiet and you rarely hear any loud noises, and then the dad screams on purpose, sacrificing himself to save his children was so heartbreaking. The music that played along with this scene was subtle yeah perfectly fitting
The acting was phenomenal as well. I believe that it must be so hard to act this well, without even saying anything, they just have to rely on their facial expressions alone to portray the pain and suffering they are going through. Especially when Emily Blunt's character is going through labour. And not to forget the young prodigy actors of the children.
Lastly, I was really worried about how they were going to end the film. I thought about all previous horror films I had seen, and they all had some anti-climactic ending. But once again, this film did not disappoint and gave me an ending that I would never had expected and was absolutely perfect. We find out what the weakness is at the end of the film and it turns out it was the daughter's hearing aid. The frequency of it was too loud for the monsters to cope with, exposing a weakness spot in their head leaving it for the mother to shoot and kill. The cameras then show 4 more monsters heading straight towards them, and with their new found knowledge of a weakness, Emily Blunt cocks back her shotgun as the film cuts to black.
Absolutely phenomenal film and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you don't see this film then you are definitely missing out.
