A breath of fresh air

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2019)

This film is a breath of fresh air in the horror genre. Most horror movies heavily rely on jump scares to frighten the audience. This movie uses tension and atmosphere to send chills down your spine. This helps make you feel uneasy while watching.
The cinematography in this movie was well done. The washed out colors helped give the post-apocalyptic mood. The acting was incredible. With little speaking lines, the actors had to use body language and sign language to express their thoughts and emotions, which can be difficult to do, but they pull it off. The music did its job of keeping you on the edge of your seat and making you feel as if you were in the story. The plot was very interesting. The thought of not being able to make any noise never occurs to us in the loud world we live in. Making the movie almost silent keeps your gaze as you have to pay attention to what is happening on screen. A Quiet Place is a thrilling adventure that breathes some fresh air in the horror genre.
