Great Premise, weighed down by mistakes.

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2018)

A Quiet Place truly shines when it does exactly what it's name suggests. When the movie centers around how the characters survive and react to world around them it's incredible, as it is hard to imagine living in a world where one cannot react with genuine human emotion. However, the movie strays from this path, and instead uses action sequences to progress the plot. The action feels out of place in what could be an incredible "survivor horror" movie as it ruins the tone that the first half of the film sets up. Along with the action, the movie also starts to use tried and tested cliches, which damper the unique world Krasinski was trying to create. The switch of tone causes the movie to crash and burn, as what could have been a unique movie, was instead plagued by mistakes and cliche, and don't even get me started on that end shot.
